As a predominantly (hobbyist) systems developer, the pervasiveness of NPM is a major detractor for website development.

I have done a few Angular and React apps to keep the skills sharp. The imposed workflow for the power is an interesting set of tradeoffs, never mind the magic and amount of decisions you need to make to use both.

Add on top of that the rest of npm, nvm, css compilers, the various css toolkits for layout, and the rest and it just feels so complicated, even for the most basic page which needs to pull in some data over an api.

It doesn't seem to be getting any simpler.
Do you go to the office because you need to or want to? Seems there is some difference there.
Also, the Benefit In Kind (BIK) tax is rising from the current 2% to 3%, 4%, 5% over the next three years.

On a £40k car, this means the assessed benefit will rise from £800 to £2000 over three years. For a 40% tax payer, this means an increase from £320 to £800pa. Half that for a 20% tax payer, obviously.

Given most new EV registrations are corporate and may attract BIK, this will possibly cost the average EV owner more than the £165pa road tax increase.
I confirm they use SingleFile under the hood to save snapshots :)
Capex vs opex, huge difference
I wonder if they ever got around to implementing accessibility, e.g. for screen readers, in their remote browser. That's an interesting problem. Do you send serialized accessibility trees (and hopefully incremental updates) down to the local machine so it can implement the platform accessibility API and work with a user's existing assistive technology (e.g. screen reader)? Or do you run the AT remotely as well? I believe the former is feasible with Chromium (though I haven't yet proven it), but Cloudflare went with the latter in their Browser Isolation product, probably because converting the Chromium accessibility tree back to HTML in the local browser would compromise the security benefit of Cloudflare's product. But Mighty didn't have that concern AFAIK.
I have the consumer choice to buy any compatible car battery I want. That doesn't mean it's easy to install. Unless I'm living in an ivory tower with people who find app stores easier to install than car batteries.

Ease of installation (which, again, at least in my rarefied atmosphere of people who find tapping a screen under 10 times [0] easier than, say, going and buying a compatible battery, remove the old one, installing the new one, and disposing of the old one) still isn't particularly to do with choice. Android certainly has choice. It's Apple that doesn't.

>Elon’s key influences are the “PayPal Mafia” capos, Peter Thiel & David Sacks. They urged him to buy Twitter, advise him on running it. Both with childhoods in apartheid S. Africa, angry culture wars at Stanford, now working on Thiel’s ‘political project’ to upend democracy. 5/

Just a little bit nuanced and biased?

>I stand by what’s in this thread. If Elon wants to sue for defamation, I’ll meet at the courthouse. But Elon, there’s an offramp. You can be a hero - stand up for America. Talk about what happened. Who pushed you to buy, and why? People may forgive. 66/

ugh
Thank you for doing this in the open and all the work you've put into this.
The thing is, there aren't really that many laptops designed to run Linux. Even offerings like these and those from System76 are actually made largely based on designs made to run Windows and adapted later. Sure, this feels like a cop-out and is not really of much aid to anybody, but it's only fair to note. Generally, I do not have dramatically worse battery life on Linux vs Windows, but I also did stop buying laptops with NVIDIA graphics. (Irrespective of Linux, these have given me tons of trouble. Even on Windows, external displays were a painful experience on my Thinkpad P52 no matter what mux settings were set in firmware. I guess it works out OK since NVIDIA on Linux is far from ideal at the moment.)
Why start a corporation in the first place versus an LLC or even a sole proprietorship? The latter costs close to nothing to start, and it doesn't ever need to be dissolved - just stop filing Schedule C once you stop having income and expenses.

If you choose the more complex route of a Delaware corporation, it's going to cost you more. OP would have at least made some money under an LLC or a sole proprietorship, but going the Delaware corporation route likely turned it into a net loss.
> No, not when the cost helps you make/save money.

I'm sure, but you recommended it to someone who just wanted to be more informed about financial news. For that person, it is extremely pricey.
"I posit it becomes increasingly likely over large periods of time over many engineers that severe bug or security issue will be introduced via an AI provided suggestion."

I'll go one further with the "Co-pilot is stupid."

It's supposed to be artificial intelligence. Why in the eff is it suggesting code with a bug or security issue? Isn't the whole point that it can use that fancy AI to analyze the code and check for those kind of things on top of suggesting code?

Half-baked.
I used to think about this as being a problem, but more and more I'm wondering if this is the wrong way to think about renewable capacity? For comparison, for years ISPs have been saying "what would you do with 1 gbps internet speeds?" And they've been putting of making the change to that because it's difficult. I think sometimes the problems that we expect to happen are a lot harder to be certain of when we're entirely speculating.

I bet some of this would sort itself out if they had sufficient renewables, and that the rest would be an easier incremental problem if they made the switch.
What's it called when your brain skips straight from level 2 to level 7? Asking for a friend, who is myself.
Programmer: Uploads code to Github for the public to see / use
Github: Uses code uploaded by programmers to learn and make other code better
Programmer: NO FAIR! My code can only be used the way I want it to be and my code is absolutely unique and no one else has coded something like it
But those weird definitions of productive almost never get spoken of or considered when it comes to timelining a project or KPI, etc

So while it may be important, it's just wasted time for many.

Says more about the organisation than the definitions, but still.
I have to agree that Cosmic Crisp was unfairly ranked here. I did a blind tasting of ten apple varietals with 14 friends and Cosmic Crisp was the winner. Now there are factors (the perfectly unbrowned flesh and small bites) that may have given it a slightly unfair advantage. But middle of the pack seems far too low.
I am gonna say, priorization is nice and all, but you can have your priorities all figured out and not achive anything because you live in a nation where there is no majority for it and if there was your politicians are incentivised to ignore it.

So you do the things you can do. Fly less, eat less/no meat, use your bike more often, point at the coal plants and vote for political parties that want to get rid of them. May later generations (should they exist) say: "He was one of the good ones". Or you know, you could hide behind your priorities, fly, eat meat, drive a SUV and point at the coal plants.

I get it, we should not let them blame individuals for corporate and political failure, but what you do yourself also matters, because it makes you more aware, it makes you have higher standards, it makes you less tolerant to weak excuses.
One wonders if this isn't the esoteric reason for writing the paper in the first place. The "victories" involve getting parties to agree to subtle linguistic changes to various documents which have no impact at all on the actual problem they're supposedly addressing, and writing a paper that points this out sure seems like a way of making the whole enterprise look ridiculous, even if the explicit frame is one of praise.
I mean, the consensus I hear among the tech talking heads is that this is basically a product for (a) developers, so they can start seriously building V/A/XR apps and (b) Apple congregants who have both the disposable income and desire to buy literally any product Apple brings to market, no matter how pricey.

(a) for apps and (b) for hype, while Apple works on bringing an actually viable consumer headset to market in 2024.

This is a pretty bold departure from Apple's normal strategy of "wait until several others have rushed to market and them blow them out of the water with a 'premium' product you claim is better than all the competition, at a higher price point than all the competition."

In part it's because companies like Pimax are already sort of doing that, and because Meta got Apple scared that Zuckerberg was going to beat them to monopolizing the VR market if they waited too long.

(We'll have to wait and see the reception to the Quest 3 to see how concerned they really should have been, because the reception for the Quest Pro has been... not great. Turns out, making a quality headset is just expensive)
> It's not clear how much of this was caused by Legoland and how much Legoland is just an example of bond market troubles

This is actually a good point that I wasn't considering. Reading the article again I can't find the author making any substantial link between the Legoland incident and the broader effects. Seems likelier to be correlation than causation.
The court concluded they didn’t press the button and weren’t involved in the decision to target or fire? Am i reading that right?

What about responsibility for the airline and the regulators and the pilots who allowed a flight over an active war zone?

Handing down life sentences for three people involved but not in the decisions part of shooting in a show trial does not seem like justice.
One of the few cases where light mode is more readable than dark mode for me :)

On the other hand, 15s pageload times seems poorly optimized.
Not if they only do business in the EU with legal entities like freelancers or small limited-liability pass-through companies where there is no weekly time limit for the owner nor the "no monitoring" requirement.
> Meal trains are awesome, but really challenging to have done right if you and/or your partner have serious food allergies

Maybe someone should create a meal registry. Like meal planning and a meal train combined with the concept of a gift register. I don't think I'd feel comfortable being that direct with what I will and won't eat when it's a service someone is going out of their way to provide, but on the other hand I have received meals I didn't eat so it'd be better for everyone. The idea is simple enough that I'd be surprised if it doesn't already exist.

Edit: ha, a search for "meal train" shows this solution as the first hit, so guess there's a demand after all.
Always need to keep in mind value of work.

Working at Joe Widget Co. and get a tight deadline for a new feature? Value of the work was already low, value of your extra effort is pretty much unknowable, why would anyone work overtime?

Early stage startup its much easier to draw a line straight from work -> value.
So much this. And just to add, any startup that even attempts this, EVEN WITH 100% ARTIST SUPPORT, cannot work out because venues have the exclusivity contracts.

And worse, you can't split a venue up to 2 different sellers. They don't have a communication protocol for which seats are sold, so you end up in a position of double-booking. Also bad.

Basically the only way for this to work is:

a) a system exists where venues publish an event and seating

b) the system does nothing but keep track of sales and seats. They don't care who sold, just tracking that it was sold. Also allow full API access so any service can reserve and claim the seat, the service is now on the hook for that seat.

c) allow venues to indicate which services can sell their tickets

This will commodotize ticketmaster, but at the same time, there will very little value add, so who would compete. It'll be a race to the bottom with barely any money. And the service you build could take a small fee at best otherwise nobody would use you. AND you'd be competing against ticketmaster with almost no money.

And don't forget, the double booking problem... Your service will have to basically integrate with ticketmaster, who will never willingly do this given that you'll commodotize them, and they will not simply sacrifice themselves just to make some sort of positive outcome, and then also be completely beholden to another company.

Its a perfect monopoly field.
The idea is cool. Not sure I get the cardigan with shorts thing, or see a giant market for cardigans for boys at the moment, though? Seems like since covid, kids only wear athletic clothes in my area. My kids think jeans are "dressy!"

On a related note, I cannot believe how expensive socks are, especially for something so simple and invisible. I'd buy socks from something like this. You could make it a subscription (only need them every year, though).
Right, for me it'd ideally be zero, so i can spend some of the free time doing productive, socially constructive work, that I consent to do without threats, inducements, or coercion.
Hey I remember that crowdfunding campaign! If the shipping queue is at 2019, why is my refund for an order from 2017 not processed?

First you guys said it was because I had to wait until my batch was going to ship. I waited. Now no who knows and no one will talk to me beyond saying "maybe soon?" and throwing their arms up. I'm a FOSS advocate and loved the idea of the Librem and even the idea of paying more for an ethical device, but this all leaves a very bad taste in my mouth and I'm not alone.

Any info would be appreciated. The email volleyball doesn't ever yield any new information month to month to month...
If someone is legitimately trying to help you, and it makes you feel bad, what you need is therapy, not someone else ignoring your struggles.

> A quick question - how can a person born in a Baltic state and living there their whole life end up without citizenship?

The people in question are ethnic Russians who CHOOSE to not get a citizenship. They choose this, beccause people in Baltics without citizenship have the right to travel both within the EU and in Russia without a visa. Just to make it extra clear, let me draw you a table of a citizenship matrix in Estonia:

Estonian citizen - can travel within EU, needs visa for Russia

Russian citizen - needs visa for EU, can travel within Russia

No citizenship - can travel within EU, can travel within Russia
> Instead of downvotes, imagine the comments and rage if he had donated to Trump instead.

That's what his co-CEO was for; he played the same role with Republicans. $15M to a PAC he controlled (https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?committee_id=C00809020&tw...) that donated exclusively to Republican campaigns.

They were all connected at the hip. You can't talk about only one because it's all one big fraud spit across a bunch of domains to dazzle investors.

There is some evidence that they "passed" the audits by moving all of the money around the companies while auditing them one at a time using a hidden money transfer function written by SBF.
Not sure where the 750MWh/day figure comes from, but if Tesla aims to build 500k cars there annually, that’s only around 42.5GWh total capacity if they’re all top-of-the-line 85kWh models. Or 116MWh daily.

Also, at 750MWh/day, it would likely be the world’s largest battery factory.

Who know how long until the fix landed on ubuntu stable. I recently submitted a minor patch to a gnome library and it took almost 4 months after being merged to land on Manjaro.
> I heard Elon does 120 hours a week. /s

It's not exactly hard at his level. He can delegate absolutely everything and cannot be obliged to do anything. He can pick who is around him at all times, and they are usually obligated to cater to his wishes. 120 hours of casual chats, meetings, presentations, shared meals, and travel count as long as it's related to any of his 3 major businesses.
This is an easy question for a bunch of people who are supposed to be writing code right now.
By the modern definition of hero, there aren't any. There can't really be any.

I mean, there never were heroes anyway, just people who did heroic things [in addition to the other less-than-heroic things that they did] -- but having heroes requires also believing in things that one can be heroic about. Having values and virtues that can actually be expressed.
Don't put that out in the universe! I also use Cron, and personally really enjoy it so I'd be really bummed if it totally died. I had hopes the acquisition would mean more investment in Cron, but it's pretty noticeably slowed in velocity recently. :(

My Dell Latitude 7490, 16GB DDR4 with i7-8650U, 60Wh battery, gets very good battery life under Devuan, 7 hours+ I think with my usage. My belief is that it varies between Linux distributions a great deal.
I'm sure the kids and the military thinks yelling at people improves outcomes, but I'm pretty sure we all learn that actually doesn't help anything.

I've watched competitive games and the teammates are in no way distracting and yelling at their teams. They are doing their most to work cooperatively and even minimize distractions by only speaking up when it contributes.
So we have a few issues with that query.

Do they reduce COVID 19 transmision is basically the same question as does a book stop a bullet. Yes. Is if sufficient? No. (Safe vs Safe-er)

With aerosols, it's a lot out there, they're light, move from low pressure to high, and they float. (You need better protection, and you have to ensure that the filter does it's job, surgical don't and can't do that.. although the CDC tried to hack their way through that with "fit adjustments")

With droplet, it requires those being projected, more affected by gravity, and it requires an entry point into entering you. (They're heavilier particles, and typically this is less likely to spread)

All of the masking in the US is regulated by OSHA for the work world. (And is only for the working world.. no N95s for children) That's why N95s are required in hospitals (with workers, and only for workers are N95s required to be fit tested) in this case. Unfortuantely with a lot of the papers you see .. they tend to minimize what other country's population standards. I think they (KF94s, FFP2s, KN95 [if you have a trust worthy regulation body] etc) would be a better fit for the general population.

I think you'd be surprised the degree to which many far right politicians would be supportive of some versions of MMT.

MMT is attractive to essentially all politicians. It says you can spend without consequences. You don't have to spend that on a welfare state although many MMT advocates take this line. You could just as easy spend it on the military or surveillance.
That's an understatement. It's utterly brilliant.
As the number of crypto exchanges that have imploded spectacularly keeps rising, I'm starting to think that crypto exchanges can't be run profitably. From Quadriga to FTX now, I have friends that were burned 5+ years ago, and yet the same story seems to keep repeating itself. There's a term for people that keep trying the same thing over and over while expecting different results... Unless these are all completely isolated cases of fraud?
I would like to say, I am going through a very similar experience at Meta. Is there any Big Tech company where internal tooling isn't broken for front-end development?

Does such a company exist?
Well, for the most part you can't compare the minimum wage of 100 years ago since it didn't exist, and subsequently excluded most workers until much later.

In 1966 the federal minimum wage was amended to include most workers, so a comparison at that point can be made.

In 1967 the minimum wage was $1.40, or $10.92 adjusted for inflation. The current minimum wage is $7.25, so in dollar terms the cost of goods, especially housing, really is much higher in minimum wage terms.
Why we still can't Crack the Indus Valley Script?
Sure, Turkey is way more likely to do it than other countries, but it is done in various places and various ways - the US even has a default page for "this domain has been seized" and they've been known to run "illegal" domains for quite awhile collecting data.
In the end it would seem that SBF and his gang wasn't so interested in crypto as he was in fiat currency and real estate. As for the ramifications for the crypto scene, the trust of cryptocurrencies has gone right into the cellar now, if not in Bitcoin itself, then certainly in the centralized actors now purporting to offer it to retail customers. In turn, that would of course also warrant a rebate. Not least because it puts pressure on other bad actors on the scene.
I guess this resolves the issue of the intelligence of a well know public figure.

The lessened effect is due to your body getting used to having increased levels of dopamine and norepinephrine, so stops producing as much.

The fact that the medication is out doesn't make your dopaminergic system more sensitive by itself. It might take a while.
