I always feel like I'm outside looking in when people talk about making and keeping friends. I was make fun of a lot as a kid, moved around a lot, and then as a young adult I didn't prioritize making friends, thinking I'd have my whole life to make some. I didn't realize that people just stop making new friends after 30 (outside work).

I have a family and that's super nice, but I still never really experienced this. Reading about it just hurts. Sure, I had "friends"in college, but we don't keep in touch.

Tipped? You need to update your model with what has happened in the last few months, it’s not a random exchange exploding every few years anymore. Yes there are risks securing a piece of paper, but don’t fall for the perfect solution fallacy, the alternative of keeping all their crypto on exchanges is simply irresponsible. Newbies this run that only signed and used exchanges like betting websites and don’t want to learn more then simply must get out, there is no alternative to owning your keys.
OMG.

My most impactful thing I've done outside of paid work is a website running on Django. I could live without queryBySelector or their descendants, but not without Django.

Thank you, Simon.
My guess, over the long run, is that it'll be Cryptopals. Which is funny, because it's just a blog post that we chopped up into email challenges because I didn't want to give [redacted] a bunch of new terminology to use against me in stupid Twitter slapfights. Dumb reason, good outcome.

The problem with that is the rankings are used as an input for hiring decisions, so then it's just a self-reinforcing feedback loop.
It's actually a little more complicated because there's also the bar exam as a gatekeeper. It doesn't test the same things, but you definitely do need to have a pretty good grasp of logic to do well.

The upshot is that the de-emphasis of the LSAT on the admissions side may result in (1) some additional new lawyers who are not as analytically capable, (2) some additional new lawyers who are just as capable, but are bad test-takers, and (3) some additional new law students who are unable to pass the bar.

Without knowing the proportion of these three groups, it's hard to say if the net effect will be positive or negative. But I would venture to guess that if schools dramatically relax their LSAT standards, the "beneficiaries" will have much lower bar pass rates than their classmates. They will be saddled with the same $200-250k of debt, though.

This trend is apparent at UC Hastings, whose admissions selectivity dropped significantly in the years following in the last decade, and whose bar pass rate plummeted. [1] (Many schools became less selective around 2010, when potential applicants heard about how the graduates of 2009 and 2010 had a very hard time finding jobs, let alone jobs that can service $200k debt loads.)

If these new policies/procedures do result in students being admitted to law school who can't pass the bar (or have to take it multiple times), these students could reasonably be upset for having been misled about their prospects. Of course, the schools are already lobbying for the Bar exams to be made easier, so perhaps the end result would just be that marginally-prepared students would be lifted up over another hurdle, and plopped down in the laps of unsuspecting clients.

Not surprisingly, one of the law schools pushing hardest for lowering Bar standards is UC Hastings. [2]

Thanks for the lesson, mate. I'll be strongly reflecting over the past 15 years of clinical practice and see the errors in my ways.
And this isn't even considering the obvious revenue stream opportunities an Alphabet company is ideally positioned to leverage from such a captive-on-our-conveyor audience.
I agree that it's a great example because the software stripped leading "Here's" and then leading "How" and ended up falling on its face. But you're overgeneralizing when you say:

> harms headlines more than it ever helps.

People make that claim because they (a) notice the cases when it fails and (b) don't notice the cases when it works. You can refute any policy that way!

There is one nuance tho, specifically with the Model S (not sure about plaid).

The way the Model S motor is laid out, it is often more advantageous to fit it backwards into conversions.

This should be fine, except the motor driven oil pump is meant to run mostly forwards and long periods of running it the other way cause problems in oil flow and might cause pump failures too.

So there is a aftermarket oil pump that fixes this problem.
It looks interesting. Some observations/metrics of the repo I use for a preliminary judgment of a project:

- comparatively large community

- only a handful of open issues while approximately a thousand issues have been closed

- on the downside it seems driven (and developed) by a single person (same as with Nest.js) which imposes a comparatively high risk in my opinion

- includes a lot of "first party packages" for things that already exist in the ecosystem, such as their own Lucid ORM. Depending on your point of view might be a good (less dependency on NPM ecosystem) or bad (NIH)
This is the kind of thing that comes up whenever I've worked on an app and the client asks us to report as server connectivity to the user. Despite what the OS tells you, you basically don't know anything until you actually try to use the network, so not surprised at all this is what Windows does.
I read, like 10-15 posts daily on social media where people mentions that they have decided to postpone parenthood simply because their circumstances aren't favorable (mostly finance related).

When I read about Holmes in light of those posts, I'd say she is some sort of callous and insensitive person. She never once gave a shit about ethics, people's lives etc. Who knows she decided to have kids simply because it might reduce her sentence rather than because she really wanted to have kids like rest of us do.

Can you clarify? In my experience, source scan is just another job in one's build pipeline. And I've only seen it fail when it does, in fact, detect a new component (or a license change in the existing component) - because at that point you have to do the legal dance for third-party notices etc. But the latter part something you have to do either way, tools or no tools.
For example, we've put severe restrictions on what kind of strings employers are permitted to attach. We also look very carefully at concentration of capital and collusion.

Note that this is not necessarily a call for legislation, but certainly people should be aware of who shapes and filters their communications, and how, just as they should be aware that e.g. 90% of US media are owned by 6 companies (in 2011, down from 50 in 1983) [1].

There are entire university departments dedicated to analyzing the influence and cross-ownership of media and capital, even though one could just as easily dismiss that with "What is there to look at? It's just free markets at work."

> This is the solution. Strong authentication into a lottery.

I really don't like using a lottery, because it assumes that everyone who wants to go to a particular concert has the same level of desire to go.

A lot of people might just kind of want to go, while for others going is the most important thing in the world. With a lottery system, each of those people have an equal chance of getting to go. It seems unfair to me.

I want a system that allocates tickets to the people who want to go the most. I know an auction type system isn't completely fair, since some people have more money than others, but it least it has some semblance of trying to distribute tickets to people who want to go the most.

For all the talk of how doing a PhD is terrible, friendships in a college-like environment after undergrad was a bright point for me and many others. I moved and started a 9 to 5 last year and it's quite a change in lifestyle, and at 30 it's striking to start to deeply understand this same life transition many friends from high school and undergrad experienced 7 years ago already.

This is like the biggest thing scaring me away from Go. This half-assed "we don't use exceptions, so you shouldn't have to care about it, except when we do, so you still must write proper defers, which are now doubly verbose because nobody considered it a primary use case"... In any other language, a mutex outside a using/with/try-with/RAII would be instantly flagged in code-review or linter tools. In many cases even hard to write incorrectly, due to entering context being only way to acquire the lock.

Now this middle ground leaves you having to write triple verbose if err != null on every third line of your code and still not be safe from panics-that-shouldnt-have-been-panics.

As parent says, the only way panics can ever work is if the top-level never catches and recovers from them. I'm no expert in go but that would mean in such perfect world, defer should hardly ever be needed at all, not even for locks? Only for truly external resources? But now with popular web servers doing such recovery, the entire ecosystem got polluted and all need to handle it?

Something not talked about here is that there's a finite number of seats that can be sold for all the tours in the year.

At a smaller scale, look at Broadway productions. There are 41 "broadway" theaters in New York, each with between 500-2000 seats performing 8 shows each week. Ballparking because I don't have the exact numbers, that's a total number of tickets you can sell of under about 350,000 tickets for all broadway shows that can be sold each year. Even if you include all the touring and local productions of shows in cities, there are not enough theaters to meet the demand for live musicals and plays (and while locally, shows will underperform and not sell out, and there are periods of downtime between shows changing, it's still capped).

Now these massive tours are limited in a similar way. There are only a few dozen arenas that can seat tens of thousands of people year round, and only so many nights they can operate. But unlike those shows, a single production team can't "own" a venue for months at a time. So they need to tour, which is about the most expensive way to get a production of that scale off the ground. Moving a production and staffing it throughout a tour is so expensive that guaranteeing the endeavor is profitable is still difficult - many of the "biggest" tours with sellout crowds across the country have been financial disasters.

Basically my point is that the issue isn't just in fairness in ticket sales. It's lack of venues. Which makes sense. If we had cities operate like Las Vegas, and have venues that put on high profile shows for months at a time with residencies, the access to the shows might be (paradoxically) improved despite being hyper local. If you can guarantee a low risk/profitable production and rely on people traveling to the show (which many do! look at broadway - people can and do see shows affordably with the highest cost being the plane ticket) then the problem might be better mitigated. Or maybe not. I'm not an economist, but the point is that the supply problem goes a lot deeper than people trying to buy tickets at the same time.

I have no skin in the Kotlin game, but am just curious because every now and then I see similar comments about companies only doing things to help their revenue and how that's bad.

I am curious about the "actively take options" part. Other than not allocating resources towards language support in other editors (which is the one thing I remember hearing before), what other actions have they taken?

I would say that Vercel has specific enhancing functionality to make using NextJS "better" than self-hosting it. That seems somewhat similar to me.

Checking on kotlin, it has a foundation, with Google being one of the backers, which seems like a fairly decent way to advertise that it's not completely locked-in.

Also when you say "actively collaborate with an OS vendor to replace an existing language, stagnated on purpose, to help sell Kotlin", are you implying that they are somehow responsible for holding-back and stagnating java? That seems like quite the claim. Java seems to be getting more modern quite rapidly with it's new release cadence.

Google v. Oracle did not decide whether such code is copyrightable. The decision says that it doesn't matter because it would be fair use if it were copyrightable.
Desktop linux (and most other desktop OSs for that matter) have utterly terrible security. You are running literally everything under the same user, which has permissions for reading-writing all of your browser caches, ssh configs, home directory from family photo backups to all your documents. A shitty bash script can encrypt whatever it feels like, the old xkcd comic is still true, the only thing an attacker can’t freely do is.. install a video card driver.

Android’s biggest contribution/change is the security model — the old UNIX one is simply way too crude, so instead android runs each application as a new, dynamically created user so that UNIX permissions actually get used properly, to a degree. But that in itself wouldn’t solve the problem of who gets to communicate with whom and who gets to use system resources, so an IPC mechanism is introduced which connects daemons with elevated permissions to ordinary applications. All this tries to cleverly build on plenty of Linux tooling/development (re-use of UNIX permissions, users, process isolation and SELinux), but puts them together in a quite novel way, creating a much bigger difference than what you would find even between Ubuntu and Gentoo.

Also, calling the biggest mobile OS a bad product is quite stupid, it is a stable and well-architected system, with a similar chaos at the top layer as what you can see in the linux distro scene, where every player does their own thing. Blame these vendors, not the core project. GrapheneOS for example for example has none of the bullshit privacy violations of big vendors.

(But I have to agree regarding the Java part, they should have followed the language development much more closely)
Unless we're talking medical, aerospace, weapon system, financial infrastructure code etc, from my experience this is not achievable.
The proposed idea is a technical one that doesn't work for the promoters or artists or venues.

The promoters want to know very early whether the venue is the right one for the number attending and whether to upsize, add dates, or even to go the other way to a smaller venue. The time to book a venue is very long... So they need as complete data as they can about sales as early as possible (they would love if 80% of the tickets that will sell can be sold in the first week - as then they can quickly make a decision about whether this is the right venue and if more dates are needed).

The artists want to enable as many fans to get in as possible, including young and poorer fans... Who tend to be more evangelical about an artist and drive their growth more and ultimately are more loyal and spend more over the lifetime of being a fan. They are poorer but more sticky. The artists also want to play to as full a venue as possible as that is the best atmosphere.

The venues want to have surety in their bookings (see the promoter dilemma as to whether to change venue) and for the capacity to be as close to full as possible as they will make more revenue from bar and food sales than from pure ticket sales.

All of these... All of them... Are not solved by the technical solution proposed except when it doesn't matter... When you're absolutely sure you're going to sell out. In which case you also don't need to change anything or invest in anything new because you're going to sell out anyway.

There are solutions that can threaten the current model... But this blog is not one of them.

In fact, the idea that "I have more money and deserve more to have a ticket over someone that doesn't have as much money" is antithetical to the thinking of every artist I've ever worked with.
Former tax lawyer here. Getting a general US LLM is very different from getting a tax LLM. Getting a tax LLM will not teach you about US law — it will presuppose that you know it already. I don't know what the prestige is in India for either of these degrees, but it wouldn't be rational that a tax LLM would be more prestigious than a regular LLM (which would be more useful for anything but tax). If you are looking at tax LLMs seriously, NYU and Georgetown are the most prestigious, but I have no idea if they offer online degrees. If you just want a US license to practice, I've heard that New Mexico has a very high (95%?) pass rate.
> 8 colors of equal perceived brightness

Doesn't work because as you adjust the brightness, yellow turns brown before blue stops looking washed-out (or vice versa).

The problem is that yellow is, 1/255 increment for 1/255 increment, about 9 times brighter than blue, and the range of brightnesses that produce useful saturation just doesn't isn't wide enough to accomodate that difference.

Every color in the palette exists in a 12-bit color space because each component can be stored in four bits, totaling 12 bits. As a result, each component can also be represented by one hexadecimal. It's nice to have a palette where the colors don't require 24 bits to be displayed correctly, and three hexadecimal digits are arguably easier to type out and remember than six.

My first car was a manual, but my parents never taught me about rev matching (probably didn't know themselves), so I had no idea. (This was in the 90s, before the modern internet!) Drove for years like that, until stumbling upon this "heel toe" thing online about 15 years ago. So I started just practicing on the street every time I drove. Which ended up being awesome, because around 5 years I got into track days, autocross, and time attack, and it ended up being an extremely useful skill. Once the muscle memory's there, it's almost easier on the track than on the street since you're deeper into the brakes. (Good on the street too though, to make your clutch last though.)
