Like most of these blog postings (and 90%+ of enterprise search products) they make no effort to evaluate it at and see if it is actually better than a simpler search engine.

Years ago I helped build a semantic search engine for patents, we evaluated it on gov2, we knew it worked, and when we launched it it was so much better than the competitors that the USPTO contacted us to buy a license right away.

You are implicitly defending instagram when you say something like They view it as revenge for the Opium Wars; they're deliberately exporting poison.

And again, just because you can point to a small amount of educational content of youtube doesn't change the fact that a large majority of it is "vapid", and that YouTube is also trying to cash in on that trend (via YouTube Shorts).

Nonetheless you can find educational channel on TikTok as another commenter shows which makes your defense of YouTube quite flimsy.

I liked Eternal, I know that a lot of people felt the new mechanics were too much of a departure from 2016, and I'm sympathetic to that, but I had a hell of fun time beating the game on Nightmare.

It turns it into something like Hotline Miami, where there's a room full of guys who can kill you almost immediately, so you wind up playing the encounter over and over until you have the perfect path of devastation through the enemies.

The main thing I disliked about Eternal was the added story elements, the very minimal story in 2016 was so perfect (it's basically: you wake up, you're badass, you hate demons, go rip and tear). Eternal tried to go for some sort of Doomslayer lore - spelling it out makes it lame.

Overall, both games are great, and I very much enjoyed them.

That hypothetical argument doesn't even make sense. Apple could (and still can) have counterfeits taken down. This has nothing to do with that.
All of that is valid, but you shouldn't worry about it until it actually becomes a problem.

99% of the struggle for any social network is getting people to use it at all. Those problems you list would actually be great to have to deal with, because it means the network is taking off.

The difference this time is he's going to share a bit of the grand plan about the "everything app" which will position Twitter as more of a financial services company (complete with KYC -- adios, anonymous twitter accounts! -- and all of the direct marketing info that brings) than merely a social media company. The $8/month blue checkmark program with promises to pay creators for content is only the first step.
The loss of the Russo-Japanese War was definitely a substantial contributor to the growing domestic unrest which would eventually unseat Nicholas II and get his family executed. Particularly it lead to the 1905 Russian revolution, which was brutally suppressed but that experience played a major role in the success of the October Revolution.

I really enjoyed DOOM Eternal, but I rarely follow communities for games online so I didn't realize this was such a thing. Sad that a great game spawned such a nasty situation. It does seem Mick is in the right, here, this didn't have to go this way.
Apple has always been known to protect their MSRPs so that authorized sellers can't "steal" business from other sellers by offering lower advertised rates and undercutting other stores in the hopes of less margins more sales.

Is that anti-competitive forcing all sellers to sell your product at the price you want it sold?
> The UI is inconsistent, but documented.

The problem is that the inconsistency means that you need to constantly refer back to the manual until you have a huge amount of arcana memorized.

Not only that, but it's not always easy to find what you're looking for in the manual.

Yes, programmers should all at some point read the first few chapters of Pro Git, and at least skim through the "internals" chapter.

But idiot-proofing goes beyond babying people who don't want to read docs. Even people who do read docs and care a lot about learning their tools make mistakes and forget things occasionally.

But you will probably stay there for life so you have the benefit for life. "investing for retirement, stocks" are cheaper as you also need 3 to 5 times less.

With 100K in Prague you can retire/never needing to work for money after 3 to 10 years Depending on your habits. Not sure how many Bay Area employees can do that staying there.

I am somewhere close and earn 300K which is about 30 times of what you need per year. One year of works covers all my expenses living like a local for the rest of my life in capital returns even at a modest 3.5% SWR.

I take that over 500K Job (of which over 30% goes to US Gov, while i pay max 10%) any time, heck I take it over a 1000K Job in SF/NY etc.
I find transmission sample in good correlation of decreased jails (manual, sysadmin way transmission) usage and increased docker usage (automated gearbox tooling).

How it works for _team_, how it works for "we", where common ground is expected. I have seen teams of 5-10 using Docker as base ground for their dev (local laptops with Windows, MacOS,Linux)/stage/prod envs, but I have not heard on any of such kind with Jails over last 10 years.
I hardly can imagine that without forcing everyone to switch to FreeBSD as daily driver. Can you share experience of your team?

And certainly in 2012, both Angular.js and Ember used jQuery as an integral part of their implementation and even exposed it directly to users in their directive/Ember.$ APIs, so the actual end of widespread jQuery in new projects was later than that.
I think most people find purpose either in religions or in generalized religions (altruism, consumerism, political activism) or simply in having a family.

Starting a family is definitely the safest bet, probably long term too because these ideologies tend to lose their appeal over time.

But hey, I don't even seek happiness myself. I'd be glad to just know WTF all this was about before I die. Being some 10^28 particles out of 10^80 particles in a weird universe which doesn't seem to have any obvious purpose on one hand, and yet we're in this specific one and not in any other.

On the one hand it's so mind bogging huge and yet on large scale everything is pretty predictable, and the only interesting calculation as far as we can see in universe is actually right here. Humanity could explode into the Galaxy or it could die silently and predicting it is harder than the most complex physics of any known star.

>Big assumption there about the economy not getting stuck in a depression.

The political cost of being in a depression is far too severe for those in power to not prevent it. They are armed with far more tools and knowledge today than 1929. This will be merely yet another recession in a long history of human society oscillations.

>Cryptos seem to be: 1) a tech stock 2) a "fair weather" asset.

I do agree with that, but it's a result of crypto being played by the same people who played tech stocks and fair weather assets. The OG evangelists who saw it represent the antithesis of the current world order have pretty much disappeared as crypto picked up attention from VCs.

Close to power substations? Do they scale when you need more? Do we really want to mount our solar panels up on 20' poles? When it requires maintenance, do we shut down the parking lot?

It's clearly not optimal, not nearly.

Of course, one may choose to work harder than average to make more than the average.

Rents can be very low in these kinds of places, especially if you're young and willing to share a house with others. I personally knew a couple who spent less than $20k a year on all household expenses; granted it was a few years ago, but they weren't even in a very low CoL area.

Twitter Users Have Caused a Mastodon Meltdown
Here are a few areas where I get inspiration:

1. What am I working on currently? Pro is that I can go into depth. Con is that I have to avoid something I can't talk about.
2. Something that I'm really interested in and want to dig into more (often new tech).
3. Something a lot of people are suddenly interested in and I might be able to contribute to the conversation.

In each case, look at what has already been said and put your perspective on it. This is where the creative side comes in because no matter how many people have discussed a certain topic, it's normal to have approached it a different way with a different mix of subjects. New tech is often easy because most folks have already just re-iterated the basic facts without much personal insight. I wouldn't feel bad about a non-boring title as long as you feel good about the quality of your content.
I am in that camp as well. But... my rent is less than half the cost of a mortgage (including taxes and insurance) for a similar place. And this doesn't even account for maintenance costs. My landlord prefers long term tenants, so has shown no interest in raising our rent, and even if they did we are under rent control which will limit the damage. And while we are definitely paying under market rent, it is not by that much. So I feel fairly confident we can find something similar on short notice, and with more time could probably find a really good deal.

So after years of holding our down payment money in low interest savings accounts, I am now moving it into CDs and bonds that have nice returns which will result in a nice chunk of change. And if prices don't come down anytime soon, I am more than happy to keep renting. I think prices would need to drop by almost 40% before I would really consider buying at this point.

For context, I am in the Bay Area so it might be a somewhat unique situation to our market. But in the four years that I have been renting at this particular location, rents have not really moved much while house prices are up 50%.
Kant was about as far from radical skepticism as you can get.

Well, the problem with this strategy is it assumes you're employed and still in a financial position to buy a house once prices drop. Housing price drops are rarely disconnected from wider economic issues. If you're unlucky enough to be in the 13% at Facebook then you're likely going to be unable to take advantage of lower house prices when they finally drop.

Look at google maps. Human habitation is a small part of the landscape in many places.

Solar farms are essentially portable - put them wherever they can be scaled, not interfere with existing infrastructure, convenient planned grid connection points at scale, and on and on.

No, this is not an Engineering solution. Folks latch onto this stuff as a sort of 1st-order plan. No, 0th order. With no thought beyond "Hey solar panels are flat; parking lots are flat!"

I reread the article. Seems that this is putting solar development on the public! No mention of govt assistance in buying/installing all this gear.

Are parking lots so profitable, they can support this significant cost? It seems a lazy law written by a lazy senate to get points in the press.
So... assuming this is a joke, what would the legal ramifications be for a company that terminated workers in that manner? And is there a legal distinction between being fired and being let-go/downsized?
> Why are we talking about crime in the early 90s

Because that's when violent crime peaked, and there's ongoing discussion now about moving back to criminal justice policies from that era. It's useful to compare current data to that time period to the uptick of the last 3 years and ask ourselves if we really want or need the same response today.

My point of view is that there are lessons to be drawn from the past.

The first result in google (that I expect to be a politically correct propaganda): "these promises were made orally and were never recorded in a treaty" recalled Olivier Kempf https://www.france24.com/en/russia/20220130-did-nato-betray-...

So at the very least there were promises.
A better system is do away with income tax, and only have a resource tax including land, i.e. land value tax + sales tax + resources extracted from the earth tax. This tax should be high enough to guarantee healthcare, education, food, housing, water to every citizen.

A bigger safety net will get more people into college or careers so they'll be too busy to have kids for awhile, and will start a family in their 30s and then maybe only have two kids, if people are slaves to wage then they almost have to get married early to even afford a place to live and that often leads to children not long after.

A comfortable and happy society is a well balanced society and will have more natural population i.e. something close to repopulation quotient.

I don't have stats on this but maybe compare countries like the USA with Finland, and Denmark which often rank top 10 on 'happy countries' lists.
I've found Bartosz Milewski's lectures on category theory for programmers to be very understandable and enlightening. (And I'm weak on math) He explains it really well in plain terms.

He also has a series of blog posts on it, but I found the lectures especially helpful.
They should blame Xi. All these economic decisions wouldn't have happened had there been no COVID. The Chinese government deliberately released this lab-made bioweapon/virus, to see how it would negatively impact most of the world. From economies struggling, to people getting polarized and more divided, and supply chains getting affected, their move has been a massive intelligence success for them.

If anything, the western world needs to take a lot of strict action against the Chinese and also the tons of CCP sympathizers in their countries.
Idiot proof git is handled by protecting ALL branches and requiring a merge/pull request. Not a fan of aliases unless created and used personally.

I'm a tech lead for 2 large scale web projects. Rarely will I traverse git log for anything besides the last few commits. If I ever wanted to see the history of something I would just lookup the merge/pull request, or look at the blame on individual files or lines within that file. Having a non-rebased commit history at that point is much more clearer on why/what changed.

I guess anyone who would care for a pretty git-log does not have adequate tracking outside of the source code for requirements --> implementation. Guess I'm used to more stricter guidelines, because I could never see myself working on a project where something is committed that didn't derive from some type of identified requirement.
They had the best API offering so that’s where I started with small funds. Ramped it up to a great significant amount. Didn’t see any early signs that I should withdraw. They’ve raised billions, they’re making millions daily from fees, CEO is looking to donate a billion dollars to politicians etc.

I truly underestimated human greed where making 7 figures of profit A DAY is not enough and you still gamble with user funds.

Luckily I’m still young enough and don’t have a family and I am confident I can rebuild but man, it definitely stings.

I'm saying the world as a whole should not compromise (push Ukraine to go for peace) with a dictator just because that dictator doesn't want to do the right thing. That should generally be considered not a good move. We should continue not pushing Ukraine to compromise with said dictator even if it means a little pain (cold winter and a few billions of aid) for us.

As long as we keep sending bullets and shells and missiles and training new soldiers, Ukrainians seem willing to defend their sovereign rights. Anyone saying Ukraine should give up, in any way, is doing the kremlin's job, whether they realize it or not. Putin is the only one who benefits

When I am struggling to express myself in English (my native language) I sometimes speak to myself for a bit in French. It's my second language and I'm not quite fluent in it. When I wish to express something in French, I often find myself forced to think beyond the surface words. I must discard how I would say it in English, and go for the idea underneath.

I get hung up on a particular turn of phrase in English. How would I translate a phrasal verb like "hung up" into French? And does the idea even translate that way? What I mean is fixated, stuck, obsessed, misled by chasing the wrong thing. There are many ways to express it besides "hung up on". Which is a very native English speaker thing to say, but bad style, now that I look at it. Fixated would have been better. Fixé.
