I like that Penzey's Spices has a motto "season liberally". Their Facebook account includes anti-Republican screeds which appeal to me.

I also really like their products. I can say that I would not purchase their products if they had a right-wing bias equivalent to their left-wing bias. I don't patronize a number of businesses where the owners have made their right-wing bias prominent.

If you consider both equally distasteful, that makes sense. I assume that the owners of all of these businesses have made at least rough calculations how much they gain in customer loyalty, how much they lose in customers put off by it, and how that number compares to being what they consider true to themselves.

So I'm sure you're not the only one who detests that. But I imagine they've taken your views into account, as well as mine.

"Outages": this is an enormous ellipsis.

* Power outages and general acts of God

* Resource utilization

How do your databases perform when their CPUs are near capacity? Or disks? Or I/O? I've seen Postgres do some "weird s%$#": where query times don't go exponential but they go hockey stick.

* Fan-out and fan-in

These can peg CPU, RAM, I/O. Peg any one of these and you're in trouble. Even run close to capacity for any one of these and you're liable to experience heisenbugs. Troublesome fan-out and fan-in can sometimes be a result of...

* Unintended consequences

The engineering decision made months or years ago may have been perfectly legitimate for the knowledge available at the time. However, we live in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world; conditions change. If your inputs deviate qualitatively or quantitatively significantly, you risk resource utilization issues or, possibly, good ol' fashioned application errors.

"No battle plan survives contact with the enemy." -- Stormin' Norman

Same with software systems. They're living entities that can only maintain homeostasis so long as their environment remains predictable within norms. Deviate far enough from that and boom.
Which is completely innocuous and, assuming you aren't anyone special, if no interest at all to anyone else. If you are someone of high enough profile that knowing who went to your birthday party is valuable intel, then your problems don't end with getting your devices through the airport.

Reminds me of someone (maybe Preet Bharara?) who said that when posted abroad in some places, high-level officials have to have even any domestic arguments in a SCIF[1] to avoid leaking pressure points.

Pretty much. Able to write vastly more content, that on first blush makes more sense, and is able to support any arbitrary thesis.

Eagle Eye was a meh movie but the concept that people's own friends could be made to ostracize them and coerce them to do things, is a major concept in that movie.

You don't need violence to make it happen. You just need a swarm of AI bots to coordinate to reputationally outcompete others on all networks that matter. This is an optimization problem with a measurable metric (reputation). Bots can simulate the game among themselves and evolve strategies that far outclass all humans. It'll be like individual Go stones playing against AlphaGo placing stones.

You won't see it coming. The thing is, once they amass all that reputation by acting "relatively normal", you'll see so many kinds of stuff you won't believe. Your entire world could be turned upside down for very cheap. Reputational attacks were already published by NSA: https://www.techdirt.com/2014/02/25/new-snowden-doc-reveals-...

And this is just humans doing it. Bots can do this 24/7 at scale to pretty much everybody, and gradually over a few years destroy any sort of semblance of societal discourse if they wanted. They'd probably reshape it to suit the whims of whoever runs the botswarm, though.
Engineers like woodworking because they spend so much time often building intangible things (like software engineers), that it satisfies an unmet need to hold, feel, or experience their creations in a tactile way.

Thus said a therapist I had ages ago.
I agree partly.

Millionaire bootstrapper here.

The part I agree with is to just ask people who have done what you want to do and get an idea of the sacrifice and time commitments involved.

The part I DISAGREE with is to wait to do a startup until you’re in your 50’s. This is really horrible advice that can lead to resentment for you and negative outcomes for your family. You CAN start a business and have a family but you’ll need to be STRATEGIC.

A couple of personal tips for bootstrapping…

1. Communicate and commit to joint goal setting with your family. What are you all working towards together and why? None of us build companies alone.

2. Make your day job your first customer and biggest supporter. If you can’t then join an organization that is not threatened by entrepreneurship.

3. Identify a family friendly business model that you can test with minimal effort. I’ve always started my own businesses with my own money (Seed ~100k USD). My largest business does high seven figures and I started it with ~25k USD. This means getting in bed with a customer(s) early and charging upfront. Again see (2).

4. Set reasonable timelines for yourself. While your LinkedIn feed has friends pumping out VC propaganda remind yourself that you’re focused on actually building a sustainable business so take your time where you can. This might mean working with your wife to create a schedule for yourself where you work on the business TOGETHER a couple of hours every evening and weekends. When you bootstrap, you decide your own timeline.

5. Pivot and budget. Sometimes it’s not going to work so be prepared to put your business on autopilot (if stable), rework it or just kill it early. Cattle not pets. Businesses are tools; nothing more.

6. You will have to sacrifice something so work with your family to know what those things will be… less going out with friends, less TV/gaming/music festivals, less vacations, less spending, etc (See #1)

Best of luck
I think there's a typo where the Add() example code goes `lhs.As<tDouble>() && rhs.As<tDouble>()`. I'm assuming that should be a `+`?
I've always played with the help of Dwarf Therapist, a second program that helps you manage everything spreadsheet-style.
I watched about 30 hours of Kruggsmash's narrations of his Dwarf Fortress runs on Youtube, hoping it would 'sell' me on DF. What happened instead is that I played way more Rimworld and Oxygen Not Included than I had been playing.

Most days I preferred ONI due having to go way out of your way to commit war crimes, whereas in Rimworld it's just clicking a couple buttons.
Did Meta release Nullsafe out to the world? Or is it an internal tool at the moment?
This. I'll go to VSCode from Neovim kicking and screaming, but frankly VSCode + a good Vim plugin is the pragmatic choice for most people out there looking for a Vim-like editor.
There is always a minimum cost of moving data from one place to another. If you're computing on the GPU, the data must arrive there. The problem is that PCIE bandwidth is often a bottleneck, and so if you can upload compressed data then you essentially get a free multiplier of bandwidth based on the compression ratio. If the decompression time is faster than having sent the full uncompressed dataset, then you win.

But yeah, direct IO to the GPU would be great but that's not feasible right now.

It might be a bit because of the density, but housing is mainly cheaper near busy roads mainly because most people would prefer to live elsewhere, just like you.
High frequency traders aren't involved in exploitative labor practices.

EA was never recommending "Open up a sweat shop and violate as many labor practices as possible to maximize income", "become a successful drug dealer" or "market for tobacco companies"

It was "Go work at Google, in finance, high frequency trading, or become a corporate lawyer and donate a large portion of your income to the world." All jobs where the impact is close to neutral.
Anyone have recommendations on storing crypto outside of coinbase?

You might be able to convince me that for certain languages and tasks, a Jetbrains editor is better than using a plugged up Vim or Emacs. And the up front cost is well known, and their corporate model is easy to understand.

You’ll never convince me, however, that Microsoft’s embrace, extend, extinguish partially proprietary editor that uses the same LSPs as any other LSP client should be used by anyone. I wouldn’t touch it with a 100 foot pole.

There are turn key solutions for both Emac, Vim, and Neovim. They can all talk to LSPs, have DAP clients, fuzzy finders, file tree explorers, project managers, remote editing (terminal editors are by nature the ultimate remote editors).

Why isn’t he world would you put neovim inside of VSCode when you could just use neovim directly via GUI or terminal.
Contrary to popular belief, it is almost always possible to express the 'why' (not just the 'what') via code, even if comments and/or external documentation are sometimes cleaner, simpler alternatives.
Interesting. Is there also conflicting information (what came with the card mailing vs. what's published on the website) regarding the fees or does that match?
That probably works too, but it's even more awkard than the Knuth's one, and doesn't have the nice properties I mentioned.

I meant just:

for i in range(1, len(x)):
r = randrange(i + 1)
x[i], x[r] = x[r], x[i]
You can set Intent Handling to a local command (instead of Home Assistant in my example) [1]. I never tried that, but according to the docs you get JSON on stdin and output JSON on stdout. From that you should be able to hack in any pipeline you need.

I think what you’re really asking is how do I pursue my dreams, of starting a business, without putting my family in a tough spot and especially how can I convince my wife who doesn’t believe in startups (risks etc) that it’s worth a try because it’s important to me!

I think you personally know the lifestyle will dramatically change - even if you take the money / income out of consideration by raising a lot of money from the jump. The time commitment alone will change things!

It’s an incredibly difficult and personal and even somewhat selfish decision that requires you to get the family onboard to somehow support you since it will effect everyone.

This is in fact your first sale task, that you must try and focus on.

Here’s my experience-

About two decade ago I was in your exact position- but luckily for me I had a side project that was showing promise but nonetheless it was a risky and consequential decision to make with a young family.

My wife at the time (hint) didn’t believe in entrepreneurship or startups for that matter. She was raised that a corporate/stable job meant success (which it does in may respects), whereas I was raised a hustler and I knew from age of 9 that I would be an entrepreneur. We couldn’t be more different…

The options were - 1) hold on to a job forever and live a missable / depressed existence (not good for everyone) 2) Somehow convince her and family (yes in-laws included!!) that it was worth the risk or 3) pursue my life’s calling without approval anyhow and risk everything.

Obviously, options #2 is ideal but for me it ended being #3 (after almost 9 years of trying) - which effectively ended our marriage. Regardless of the choice , it would indeed doubly suck if business doesn’t make it - so keep that in mind (failure is not an option mindset)

I’m not saying that’s all the options you should consider… but since you asked for experiences I thought my experience might help put things in perspective for you.
Could anyone comment on simpletax?
The submission guidelines suggest to use original titles (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).
I understand but I don't think the title is very representative of the game. Regardless, Dwarf Fortress gets posted here a lot so I definitely think it's relevant: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=dwarf+fortress

For more modern DF storytelling I would encourage you to check out Kruggsmash on YouTube, in particular his Scorchfountain series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXX7Rp0iXj0l998LmVC6xIRHj...

Krugg gives due reverence to the generated descriptions of his dwarves and their world and incorporates them into his emergent storytelling and illustration in a very elegant way.
I'm not sure if you misread my comment, but my point was that it's far too easy to accidentally introduce bugs in merge commits that go unnoticed for a long time.

I've never seen a rebase gone awry introduce production bugs, but I've known multiple gnarly bugs caused by errant merges. YMMV.
Ah... so you can tell if a specific font is loaded, but not list which fonts there are. That makes sense, thanks.
Cool! I've seen similar ideas before and made my own inspired by these some years ago. It's a simple bash script based on Flameshot [0] for taking the screenshot and Tesseract:

rm -f /tmp/screen.png
flameshot gui -p /tmp/screen.png

tesseract \
-c page_separator="" \
-l "eng" \
--dpi 145 \
/tmp/screen.png /tmp/screen

if [ "$(wc -l < /tmp/screen.txt)" -eq 0 ]; then
notify-send "ocrmyscreen" "No text was detected!"
exit 1
fi

xclip /tmp/screen.txt
notify-send "ocrmyscreen" "$(cat /tmp/screen.txt)"

And

val aaa = aaa ?: return
val bbb = bbb ?: return
val ccc = ccc ?: return
val ddd = ddd ?: return

if those three-letter friends happen to be "getter vals" that might change behind your back (the compiler is perfectly aware of the difference).

That's the one gripe I have with kotlin, those "getter vals" that aren't even remotely related to immutability. Likely a consequence of building closely on top of java, there's simply no way an interface could promise to never return two different references from a call on the same object without that promise being a lie. And as usual, kotlin provides gentle damage mitigation on syntax level: "val x = x", as in the four lines above.

I would have preferred something even more consise like "val=x" though, where the name overlay is promoted to explicit intention by not typing it twice, as in "call that getter and nail its return to the getter's name for the remainder of our scope". People tend to be reluctant with that name hiding, unsure of it's good style or bad, if there was an explicit shortcut it would be blessed as The Kotlin Way (and, as you said, it's so much better than getting pulled into that let/also nesting abyss that feels clever while writing but turns on you before you are even done)
Our society is built on the backs of those who work hard at things that don't raise their income. Why should they have any hope?

The technical complexity got me through a really tough time where I could hide in the world, ascii only on a pavilion convertible laptop. Good times, impenetrable gameplay.
I'd love to get connected. I've been working on an online DAW interface to make trying out these models more approachable. It also currently contains many useful heuristic based generative models. https://neptunely.com -- see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T93tfPgKhhA for a recent demo of the generative radio station.
> How is the Google Maps, OsmAnd, or Mapbox experience on your phone? They also use vector map data.

Google Maps (in Firefox) seem to be slow when loading data in, but decent when panning around. Though it does appear that they're using raster based tiles (I can quite literally see pixels when I zoom in, before the new tile loads and replaces the one for the previous zoom level).

Google Maps (Android app) seem to be really smooth when panning around, but also similarly slow when loading data in. Zooming is a bit sluggish, but not as bad as vector tiles when viewed through the browser.

I also remember using the HERE maps application a long time ago on an even slower device, somehow those performed way better than Google Maps application though.

My suspicions: a browser might have greater overhead, maybe not everything plays nicely with Firefox or my hardware. The slow data loading seems to be caused by the CPU/GPU instead of the network connection, because if new tiles are loaded in while I'm panning around, the movement also lags.

> If you need to support old underpowered devices you can serve raster tiles to them. I don't know how to automatically detect which type to send to a device, one way would be to just time how long it takes to render a frame of vector data and switch to raster maps if the device is too slow, or at least present the user with the option.

This is a good idea, provided that the people serving the maps would be interested in supporting both formats.
a handful of my wife's coworkers and friends (she's a teacher) have onlyfans accounts to supplement income. That's certainly a lucrative side hustle for women but comes with risks as "lucrative side hustles" usually do.
EA is about being data driven, and even if teachers are undervalued. (I think they are) It's probably not enough to make up for the difference in pay when that difference is donated to the most effective charities.
Is the UI getting an overhaul as well? I could probably deal with the ASCII, but I'm picky about UI design, and what I've heard about the interface sounds like it would make me have a tantrum and smash my menacing rhyolite cave sock.
Looks like it would be defeated by the dreaded leap second.
GitHub wikis or something similar can work well as an in-between option: edit in browser or git clone, whichever is easier in your context.

>So reliable that New York State generates approximately 70% of its electricity from hydro.

Which, it's worth noting, is also the proportion Canada's national electricity production happens to be. And of that remaining fraction, half is nuclear.

Canada has very favorable geography for hydroelectric generation to the point where they're synonyms (people will sometimes call it "the hydro" here). Having vast quantities of unproductive land on what's functionally bedrock is still sometimes useful.

Do you actually think it would be a good thing if an IRB was required for this type of thing? Sure, it's "human experimentation" but the likelihood for any serious harm is basically zero.

It goes with the zeitgeist to argue for what makes the life of big tech companies hard, but they are big enough that they can afford things like that. It's smaller companies and academics that would end up not being able to innovate as much

Go down that road and you end up with an IRB evaluation requires for an A/B test that changes the color of a button

I am rather skeptical of the notion that this can be meaningfully quantified.
I may have missed it, but where's the statement about what those black spots are in the micrographs and how that was determined. It seems like they're just declared as atmospheric particulates but where's that determined exactly? It would be great to purify them somehow and run the slurry under an electron microscope. Something along these lines of https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-04-02/the-micro... to see how such raw particulates accumulate in some tissue in the body.
I've seen I think a single one of the RimWorld endings and honestly "beating the game" is so not interesting to me at this point after hundreds of hours played.

Starting up new colonies and getting established to the point of "yeah I can handle all the raids thrown at me at this point" is when I move on to start a new colony with a new religion/race/theme. Actually going from "solidly established colony" to "you win!" credits is I think the weakest part of RimWorld, although I haven't tried being a nomad yet which has what sounds like a way more interesting path all the way through to the victory screen.
If you just want map tiles you don't really need much of anything. I run a map service on cheapest hetzner box, cost €4.50/month. Sure its not massive scale, but it would cost about $1000/month on mapbox (about 2m tiles). Just nginx + tileserver-gl + certbot.
