The demo is neat sure, but having a tiny animation in the peripheral of my eyeline whilst trying to work would generally be grounds for an uninstall.
Most work "problems" are communication challenges of planning, coordination, and explanation. These don't scale well with conflict.
This is the classic MOT (major ongoing topic) dilemma, when a topic is important and interesting but also over-represented and fatiguing.

Our solution for about 10 years now has been to (try to) downweight the copycat posts and uninteresting follow-ups, while leaving the ones that have SNI (significant new information).

It's not a satisfying solution, since a large cohort at one end of the spectrum will still feel "oh no, not this again", while the opposing cohort at the opposite end will feel "why is this topic not being covered enough? is it being suppressed or something"? But it's probably the optimum for least unsatisfying.

Lots of past explanation:

Excellent. So how do we figure out which regions have the lowest prices so we can pretend to be in that region? Because I sure as hell don't want to pay high prices while some other guy is paying peanuts.

Any attempt at price discrimination should immediately result in arbitrage.
I must strongly recommend against this game. Specifically, do not buy it if you have a programmer personality. Definitely do not buy it if you were planning to get any work done in the next week(s).

If you choose to disregard this warning: At least buy it when you definitely have the free time, and don't mind losing a lot of sleep. ;-)
> You don’t get a choice in when you’re born but you should have a choice in when you die. Especially for individuals who have a family history of dementia and Alzheimer’s (including myself), death may be looked at as a form of mercy when death is a guaranteed outcome eventually anyway.

I'm responding to this comment that was deleted. I have Alzheimer's in my family and witnessing it first hand on my grandmother, I simply do not want to live it through to the end if I were ever afflicted by it. It's pointless suffering for the family and for the sufferer.
> Comparing your six figure white collar job to basic janitorial work is pretty damn cringe and pretty objectively untrue.

I grew up doing hard farm/ranch labor outside in 95-105 degree TX heat and humidity. I agree with the ancestor comment that manual labor is a hell of a lot more satisfying and stimulating than gluing together AWS services with IAM/RAM snippets from stack overflow and updating some design doc about it. If it payed adequately I might do manual labor in the day and solve actually challenging and fulfilling technical problems at night. Programmers don't get to program much anymore :(

> You're making an argument to make better men, but your method is victimize weak boys instead.

Unfortunately, even weak males are a physical threat to females. The difference in upper body strength is that stark. So if you're trying to split society along some line to reduce the problem of physical aggression, gender is not a bad place to do it.

(Add more lines, and you'd end up with a system more akin to boxing weight classes, which would be more than a bit ridiculous. It's way better to invest in enforcement of very rigid norms against physical abuse.)
If the software you are working on is that simple then you can simply auto generate it using a code generator. Which is what I do at work for CRUD stuff. No need for an AI. And hey it hasn’t replaced my job.
I agree.

My build system will actually have a command-line option to reverse the dependency resolution. Instead of building a given target, updating its dependencies as necessary, it will build the default target(s), marking the files given on the command-line as "changed" and resolving dependents up to the default target(s).

This will mean that building the "current file" will be a simple command-line switch that can be part of the file generated for that IDE.

But yes, I'm going to put in a lot of work to make IDE's work as smoothly as possible.
>I.e. refuse all insurance and just bill for their time (and supplies)?

The same reason all licensed <trade> in your area are about the same price for the same work.

They paid years of their life into a system that lets them bill exorbitantly. They're not gonna undercut it. And if they are they're only gonna do it enough to get enough volume to keep them busy, which isn't much.

I don't think the industry was supposed to create this magic environment where everybody gets to be a hacker and have good, artistic fun programming. Unfortunately it seems like integrating with as many ready-made solutions as possible is a pragmatic business decision. It doesn't come free, obviously, since we give up a lot of control to vendors and sometimes judging about system performance is hard because of how many things outside of our control are there, and programmers don't get enjoy themselves at all, but such are the economics of this market.

I hate it. But I also don't know if we can do anything about it. Like, for example the company I work at heavily uses AWS Lambda to build mobile app backends and, as a backend developer there, I feel very uneasy about how little I understand and control the system running our critical business logic. But it works well enough and the money savings are amazing when compared to using dedicated hardware, so I can't really make a good point why we shouldn't be doing it.

Sometimes I wonder if other professions get to have fun. Maybe I should explore design to scratch that artistic itch somehow.
> long term, value investors - Buffett etc.

Isn't Buffett's (Berkshire Hathaway's) strategy to actually take over companies where they see a way to cut expenses, change direction, synergize with other companies, etc and markets to make them more profitable?

If so (and I admit to having mostly a vague understanding of the specifics of Berkshire Hathaway's strategy), and if that's indicative of that group, then it's interesting that those groups making money aren't really making "bets" as much as they're actively working to make their investments pay out.
The Universe was once in a very low probability state. Entropy growing is that phenomenon of it evolving into the most likely possible state at each time, leading into the most probable state of them all.

That explanation uses some weird definition of "time" that depends on stuff happening, not on that thing we keep going through independently of what we are doing. But it's a valid definition, it's just not usual.

> People don't feel like they are stealing

Yes. That's because they aren't stealing. It's completely normal to feel like you're not stealing when you're not stealing.

The copyright monopolists would very much prefer that you felt bad when you "steal" their imaginary property but the truth is nobody other than the politicians they lobby cares about their opinion on anything.
As someone who deals with the misery of an “invisible” chronic illness, one of my great fears is that everyone (or the majority, anyway) thinks like GP.
You bring up a great point - but there's got to be a point where people have to realize that an investment's promised return is simply too good to be true. That realization doesn't have to come by way of having anything besides common sense.

FTX was promising an 8% monthly ROI (or a yearly ROI of 96%, which is absurd). Madoff was promising roughly 10% annually for years until people caught on, that's roughly 0.83% per month. FTX was promising nearly 10% that. Think about that. And that's with their TOS saying they won't use depositor's crypto for their activities with Alameada.

Are people blind? Seriously. Look at this objectively: "deposit your crypto with us, and we'll give you 8% monthly! your crypto is safe, and we promise we won't trade with it."

One needs to only ask the simple question of "how do you make enough money to cover paying every depositor a yearly ROI of 96% if you're not engaging in extremely risky and speculative trading? And if you somehow manage to do so, whose money are you trading with, if you're not using liquidity derived from our token deposits?"

> For products containing the OS

I'm not personally familiar with any commercial products shipping OpenBSD, but it was my understanding that the "proper" way to do this is to fork the OpenBSD build infrastructure, or at least build your own release tarballs, and basically push your own OpenBSD'ish distro. AFAIU, the binary patching and upgrade frameworks make some (limited?) effort to accommodate the creation and maintenance of bespoke releases.

But maybe doing it the "proper" way is too difficult or opaque, incentivizing vendors (even more than they usually are) to simply abandon released models.

I agree, especially when original source is completely lacking in context. So basically I think the better article should be submitted.

Old age or organ failure.

Do you know of SIDS as a way to die?

Yes, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is a type of accidental death that occurs in infants under the age of one. It is often referred to as "crib death" because it often occurs while the infant is sleeping in their crib. The exact cause of SIDS is not known, but it is thought to be related to a combination of factors, including sleeping position, exposure to cigarette smoke, and underlying health conditions.

Why didn’t you include it in the list above?

I apologize for not including SIDS in the list above. It was an oversight on my part. SIDS is a very serious and tragic way to die, and it should be included in any list of ways to die. I will make sure to include it in future lists.

Some of this data is straight up bad in the earlier days, like drastic around 2000 in several countries or Italy in 1992. Another examples are Estonia or Russia around soviet union disintegration. The labor statistics of socialist countries were extremely bloated.

The "normal" voice would probably be associated with clear diction, produced with the least physical effort based on the speakers physiology.

Think sighing loudly but neutrally, producing white noise. Then sigh loudly again, tightening the vocal cords just enough to add sound, with the least effort. Try talking like that or near that where it feels comfortable.

Wasted physical effort (in the sense of not adding clarity) in speaking is almost certainly culturally learned or due to the aesthetic/self-image of how one wants to hear oneself, attract and maintain listeners attention, differentiate oneself, etc.

I don't think this is true: I can be certain that my HSM signed what I wanted it to sign by verifying the signature against my known input. I know what I asked it to sign, so this is trivial.

A screen doesn't eliminate the necessity of this check; it's a pure convenience. And that's not to say that it's a bad one, per se, just one that is in tension with the normal key management desiderata (as few moving pieces as possible, as little code as possible, etc.).

This was why I originally chose the HDHP a few years ago, as it was cheaper than our traditional copay plan, and I received ~$2k each January to put into our HSA from my employer. However, as we’ve gotten older, we’re hitting our deductible more often, meaning that we’re putting in a few thousand in addition to my employers part, which has also declined this year to $1400. This new plan from Surest is $40 more per month, and we lose that $1400, but there’s no deductible and copays are like $10-20 for dr visit, $30 for urgent care, and $325 for ER visit. These are all-in prices, so no more surprise bills for the random out of network dr that looked at your X-ray, or 3rd party labs.
You can play a match and you can light a match.
keep in mind that Google also works on other products than AI (e.g. Android), and that the best model is not necessarily the best for the business. E.g. it might be too costly to operate certain models as Googles scale, and so they would need to pick a compromise between quality of results, runtime cost and scalability.

> with a normal security module I control the inputs and outputs

In the threat model that hardware wallets address, you don't, though. Your computer could be running malware that swaps your desired target address with that of the attacker, for example.

In that sense, they go beyond (low-level) HSMs by introducing a trusted user interface so that you can verify what you sign.

However, they arguably also fall short of really solving that problem: What are you going to compare the destination address to, if you can't trust your computer to correctly display it?

I recall reading that modern chips use argon-neon-flourine lasers, (roughly 75% of the world's neon goes into the semiconductor industry) and ~50% of the world's neon comes from Ukraine.

This is because the Haber process, necessary for fertilizer, involves industrial quantities of forced air, and the USSR put adapters on their Haber process plants for gathering inert gases for titanium welding back in the 1970's, and those are now used to gather materials for semiconductors around the world. I don't know enough whether US or other Haber plants could also be adapted to gather up these noble gases, but presumably it would be more expensive than using what the Ukraine provided, or else it would have been done before.

That is one issue among many, obviously, but it suggests the scale of the problem for making all domestic supply chains.

Unfortunately, you’ve said I would have to sign an NDA to get more info from the seller which would make the whole exercise pointless. I will make an alternate offer: I will pay £10,000 to the charity of your choice if you show documentation that proves the land has been independently valued at more than £1m (by someone accredited) and that the land was purchased for more than the amount shown on the land registry.

I am sure, in the cold light of day, tomorrow, you’ll realise you’ve been had and you’ll have to have an awkward conversation with West London Lets where they reveal that actually it was purchased for £7k and actually they’ve valued it at £1.9m based on the assumption it can get planning permission and then you quietly remove all the posts about it from your website and pretend this never happened. I won’t hold it against you, but do implore you to reconsider your approach to who you work with. With partners like West London Lets, who needs competitors?

I don't know if this helps at all, but you probably want to learn to sing in a different octave, not a different key. This means shifting your voice up and down from the original in multiples of eight notes. You can sing in a different octave without changing the background music and it'll sound completely normal, and have the same feel as the original song.
This seems like someone else imposing their own long term goals onto you because they allegedly know better.
