Rational in sense that syntactically most significant characters are swept to one side:
- left.
So they can be observed (checked) in a single glance.

In contrast of the conventional ("irrational") zig-zag pattern where:
- starting delimiter is somewhere in the middle of the line (if not in Allman and similar style);
- separators are mostly at the right end of the line, sometimes pretty far, depending on line length;
- closing delimiter is mostly on the left.
- Plus separators and delimiters can be scattered among single line, if they "fit" there.

Again, I'm not telling this is "good and YoU ShoULD USe thAT!1!", only that compared to rules of other conventions I see least amount of "rules" and "exceptions" in this. And it is usable only in syntaxes with separators (JS to some degree, JSON, CSS), not for languages where ";" must finish even the last statement in a block (PHP) - there you'd have dangling two characters.

As for readability, I concur, yet I'd be very cautious of raising judgments like "it is utterly unreadable". I know that readability is largely matter of habit and I'd not be surprised that if we lived in such "Haskely" alternative universe where this convention was a norm from the start, we'd probably scream in terror when confronted with "Prettier" ("Stroustrupy") conventions.

It would be good if people remembered these piecemeal costs when comparing to Google Play or Apple App Store particular in year 2+ of a subscription user.

At that point, the mobile app store offering is effectively costing well under 10%.
> I wouldn't mind owning an EV, but every time I've looked into buying a used one, it's never made more financial sense than keeping my ICV. The same can be said about buying a used ICV, albeit at to a lesser degree.

I've had the opposite problem. I just bought another car, and I saw some great ICE options that seemed really appealing. Very long range, great utility, etc.
But when I priced in the cost of gas (currently $3.5 here but it's been much higher as recently as a year ago) versus the cost of the electricity (4.2 cents/kWh in the middle of the night), I couldn't make the numbers work. Given that it's an appliance for the family and not my personal hot rod, I couldn't justify spending extra for ICE. We'll suck it up and deal with DC fast charging on road trips.
I'll try cooking them some time. They only sit for 24 hours and the fermented taste is not overpowering (I've let some sourdough starter sit too long on the countertop and know what that smells like). The oats are completely soft though, as if just boiled. I tried adding steel cut oats, but they're too thick to soften overnight. For flavor I add a pinch of salt, nuts, and raisins.

Do you cook the raw beans before mixing with the starter? Or cook afterward? Is the bean starter raw or cooked?
I've been using command-line git for data backup to a RPi over SSH, once it's set up it's pretty easy to stay on top of, and then everyone once in a while rsync both the local storage and the RPi to separate USB drives. Also, every 3-6 months or so, rsync everything to a new USB drive and set it aside so that something like a system-wide ransomware attack doesn't corrupt all the backups.
That's true, but my point is that, at least in my car, taking your foot off of the accelerator does not ever engage the friction brakes, and when I drive it's nearly 100% "one pedal driving".

What you're saying, that when you do press the brakes that a computer decides how much to apply regen vs friction, is true, but again, my point is that I don't touch the brakes.
so somehow 0.0.0.0.8.8.8.8 is an extension of the legacy address 8.8.8.8, and ::ffff:8.8.8.8 isn't?
What is a social media site defined as?

In California, the definition includes any online forum and majority of sites allowing user-submitted content. (Granted, California has a minimum revenue requirement.)

Under a similar definition, this block anyone under 18 from having any accounts on the vast majority of popular sites.

Also, if you squint at it, this could equally apply to any video game company allowing communication between players.

You keep talking about "reality", but the actual reality is that these gig jobs don't pay nearly enough to be able to cover these costs. After all is said and done, a lot of gig workers end up breaking even at best, and sometimes even losing money.

Um, it's just an example? Does this somehow help?

1. (term1) `ssh remote pulsemixer`

2. (term2) `ssh remote "pacat </dev/urandom"`

Observe that (1) you can see a new client appear on the remote, and (2) audio will play from the default playback device on the remote (and you can trivially change that device with `pulsemixer`)

EDIT: for your speakers/ears-sake, I recommend turning down the default playback device before doing this.
Some folks on HN will hate this idea due to the genetic fallacy, but I think we'll end up feeling about social-media the way we currently feel about smoking: it is something that obviously requires protections for minors.
It does in Italy and I believe in many other European countries that adopt the Roman Law.
Whenever I read sci-fi stories and there is talk of self replicating robots/factories/machines or even generation ships, there is a huge jump in technology/magic that is never discussed - what technology is used to replace semiconductors - because a portable semiconductor fab seems so outside the realm of possibility now. It would be such a revolutionary change that it's outside the realm of speculation besides handwaving at bioengineered replacements or easy atomic level manipulation ala The Culture series.

This happens far too often. And because stripe handles the PCI compliance, you can't even take your customer's CC info to another merchant account. This is why people need to be using a PCI tokenizer like BasisTheory. Then you own the rights to the CC, without needing to handle PCI compliance, and you can switch vendors easily.

If you were king, I'm sure the carbon tax would be efficient, simple, and fair.

They can consider it cheating, but they themselves use previously-compiled compilers to build, do they not? The only difference is that their previously-compiled compilers are not in the same source repositories as the compilers they are used to build. That is no guarantee that the Thompson attack is defeated.

The best way to defeat the Thompson attack is to insist on multiple distinct implementations -by different authors- of the implementations of each programming language, and even this only makes Thompson attacks a lot harder to pull off -but not impossible- for determined attackers. But one cannot insist on multiple distinct implementations for every new programming language, as that would simply make new programming language R&D to be prohibitively expensive.

Zig could, and arguably should switch to an OpenJDK-style bootstrapping system to please the distros. Essentially this means that using new language features in the Zig compiler has to wait until those new language features appear in a released version. Whether this is realistic, idk. In any case, Zig can also keep the stage0 in the repository for use by developers (but not distros).
Would be cool to get new packages like this on nixpkgs.

A core piece of tooling like this going through four major versions in two years really makes me hesitant to use it: it tells me that the authors of the tool don’t care about breaking changes and I’ll have to do a lot of maintenance work to keep up with the latest release.

I had partnering with a marketing agency for awhile doing implementation of their designs in WordPress. After a few years of clients breaking their sites doing upgrades and other ad-hoc questions/enhancement requests coming via email, I got tired of sending $100-200 invoices, so I started selling "WordPress Maintenance" as a product. It's not fun or sexy, but don't underestimate the number of organizations willing to pay $3K/year to be able to email you for advice, install plugins, add custom post types, and keep things up to date. I've got ~12 clients now (started with 4 in 2017) and it's an "easy" $30K every year.

FWIW, I work exclusively with local clients. Local clients, in my experience, are more willing to pay more to local people.
I haven't used Phoenix personally, but it looks similar.

In Pynecone, the frontend compiles down to a NextJS/React app, and the backend is a FastAPI server. Events are sent as network calls that update the app state, and the state delta is sent back to the React app, which updates the UI.

> pay 70 year old me for 20 hours a week

There are many "startups" that have only have enough revenue to cover 20 hours per week of labor [0]. Basically, you keep the lights on and ship 0-3 features per month. The pay can be as high as $130+/hr usd ($10k/mo).

You'd be on your own for health insurance, but I probably would do this for my retirement.

Depends on the car, the Tesla default setting is not use brakes when you life the throttle or use regeneration when you hit the brake. This lets you control how you slow down, which makes it easier to be nearly 100% regenerated.
Not to mention, what does it mean to use? Is passively consuming content without contributing or even creating an account using? Because, if so.... this means that YouTube gets turned upside down in this case.
Yeah, I incorrectly assumed you had misunderstood that, sorry. I read your “there was no exclusivity agreement” to mean “there was no reason for him to involve his agent”.
I didn't imply that it had to be in-office, so not sure where you got "everyone should be stuck in traffic".

As to "It baffles me that it appears to be so hard for managers to just schedule meeting at 11 instead of 9", this is the exact point I'm getting at. Why is it somehow hard for people to be available at 9? Having been a manager, it's much more difficult to juggle 15 different individualized schedules when you need to have a meeting with a couple people.
This is a crazy way of making laws, IMO.

To recap: a law was put in place 5 years ago that said if you get consent you can basically use data in any way, with some very vague and general language about how consent can be gathered and what it means.

Meanwhile, Facebook has invested billions of dollars in building and developing a platform according to their fair reading of that law.

Then, some random guy says he doesn't think Facebook's interpretation is right, a court agrees, and all of those billions of dollars have gone to waste.

So absurdly inefficient. No regulator has had the idea of just going to Facebook, having a real conversation about what they're doing, then talked about it with ethics professionals and researchers and tried to draft a forward-looking law that will make the whole system better? No; we prefer to thrive by ignoring problems for a long time then smashing them with a hammer.
Counter-point, I've made a career out of doing B2C marketing including spending plenty on Facebook - I'm cheering for this, as are my colleagues.
I compare apples to oranges. At the time apple came up with this marketing term, other manufacturers started increasing the display size of the devices making them more usable for their users. When apple decided to do that 2-3 years later, the high dpi offering started making sense but it had already convinced you of the "retina milea ahead" technology kn a 3.5 inch device
So, yes new tech is extremely cool, doesn’t always mean it makes sense/provides any benefit in practice.
I could believe 10%. It's not an easy apples to apples comparison, of course, because even a basic RWD Model 3 is considerably higher performance than a base model 320i. We may just have to accept that, however, since it's too easy to make EVs a lot faster than ICEVs at the same price point.

Are they making breaking changes? I'll admit I don't frontend and I have no idea what niche Vite fills, but I briefly glanced at the release notes and I don't see a section talking about anything breaking even though this release marks a major revision.

That's extremely condescendingly reductionist. Surely I'm allowed to hate this idea because it's a bad idea.
> Biofuels are basically dead because they cost more to produce than gasoline and people aren't going to accept an increase in energy costs.

That's simply not factual for ethanol.

Also, the blanket term "biofuels" isn't particularly useful here because it can mean many things. I'm talking strictly about ethanol. Not biodiesel, not methanol, not LPNG.

> Electric vehicles are now viable specifically because they have a lower cost per mile than gasoline.

Even if that were to remain true, sorry, I'm not getting another car loan to replace a car that's already working. That's the reality for the vast majority of people. EVs need to come further down in price by far.

> The average car is around 12 years old, implying that if we replaced all new cars with electric, we'd have replaced at least half of them within 12 years.

Half of people aren't going to trade in for EVs within 12 years unless the price is right. The prices for even used EVs aren't anywhere near where they need to be for people who live outside the elite bubble. As long as used cars and aftermarket parts can be sold, people will run all the remaining ICVs into the ground, and that can take a very long time with modern vehicles even when treating them like crap.

> Finding a good deal on a used electric car isn't that easy right now because there aren't that many of them, which changes the more new cars are electric.

Those deals have never been easy to find, but the promise of affordable EVs has always been "just around the corner." I'll wait for EVs to make financial sense in the short term future, but I won't count on it.
You can't just say this, you have to say why. It's going to be a hard case to explain how you can't compare two types of work.

I'm not even sure how you can explain what free market labor is without referring to slavery, or explain what slavery is without referring to free market labor i.e. I don't think it's possible not to compare them and rationally talk about either of them.
I generally assume that other people on Zoom are not wearing pants. It would be quite shocking if someone stood up and revealed their dress pants.

All these replies for and against Montessori schools in this thread are useless without the names of the schools and perhaps even the teachers involved are mentioned.

Pixel clock is generated on the host. All the VSYNC/HSYNC pulse timings are also generated by the host. Monitor has little choice but to respect it, or refuse to operate.

On some embedded platforms, if you can't get a precise clock you need from clock subystem, or massage the display mode timing to fit whatever pixel clock you can generate, you may be running your display at 34 FPS instead of 60 FPS if you're not careful eneough. And you'll barely notice unless you measure it, or try to play video or do anything else sensitive to timing.
Reading the data is hardly the problem. Most R libraries seem to be inherently single threaded. Unlike sklearn where just about everything has a n_jobs parameter. Even stuff like xgboost is insanely parallelizable.

Now I want to serve predictions in real time to downstream APIs. Hello single threaded R runtime my old friend.

Hard agree on lua v. viml. Viml really isn't that bad. I'm certainly not claiming it doesn't have its warts and shouldn't keep improving, but it's a DSL for a text editor...

And as you point out, you still need to know a bunch of viml that you have to wrap in Lua calls.

At the same time, I haven't actually given vim scripting in Lua a fair shot, so I'd be happy if anyone could shed some light on why they might think it's better.
My consistent observation over 30 years experience has been that there are alawys three methodologies in effect:

1. The paper methodology that everybody completely ignores - this is Scrum or waterfall or rational or whatever they call it

2. The management ideology that management actually insists on and bases your pay on - the ticketing system (nowadays it's JIRA, but there's always been something similar). In theory it's driven by the paper methodology but in practice it's somewhat random.

3. The support methodology that everybody follows - drop everything and work on this emergency because Somebody Important mentioned it. This is what your reputation is built around, and is always independent of the other two methodologies.
Hyperbole requires intent and exaggeration, can you point out either? I'm not seeing it.

It's also 100% on topic. You not liking the discussion doesn't change that.

>… neovim has added a Lua engine into the core (increasing complexity that way) and creating a DX-poor bridge for common vim configuration things so that startup scripts can be written in Lua.

And one can look at the explosion of new Lua-based plugins that have been developed because of it. People hated Vimscript. Now that there is a better first class language (guaranteed! Not dependent upon the host environment or compilation target), NeoVim is gaining some of the plug-in functionality that had previously been Emacs exclusive.
