Oh, you meant just doing whatever it is parents have done since forever, and deliver culture to their children? Sure, I guess, if you're a good parent, and your culture isn't shit, then yes, that's certainly preferable.

If you're not a good parent or your culture isn't something your child should grow up in, I'd still prefer Amazon. Better to have mindless consumer drones (though I don't believe Amazon is good enough to make any actual programming) than another generation of ISIS.

> If part of the population is not fed properly, intellectually, especially in its development, it is a big global concern.

Let's make it simpler: if people are starving, and Amazon offers to ship them Amazon Crackers™, Amazon Water™, and Amazon VitaMix™ and what not, would you say "no, we shouldn't. If we can't provide home-cooked meals to them, then we should just consider it a global concern, but not use Amazon's mass-produced, middle-of-the-road not-really-tastes-like-anything nutrient slime"?

Because that's the alternative I see. You can get Alexa to read something to a child, or you can let that same child watch The Dancing Primary Colors And Squeaky Sounds show on the TV. Alexa is far superior to what plenty of children are currently getting with regards to parenting.
> If I had become a doctor or a hotelier I definitely would've stayed in my home town.

According to the study, you would likely have not stayed:

"By linking young adults to their parents, we can see that this migration is primarily driven by individuals who grew up in affluent families."

A low-income family is less likely to send their kid to school to be a doctor or hotelier.
In the EU. Only some accounts were flagged for this restriction and I believe in the past year it was removed or changed. But for a period of several months I could not watch Battlefield trailers.
Right but that's just a blanket "good" or "bad"

I hit the green check, but I wanted to leave a detailed comment
If I were to give a bad faith argument, I would say that Rust’s compiler, while being written in Rust is not famous for its speed (but I do know that it is due to it doing more work).

I honestly fail to see why would a lower level language be faster, especially that compilers are notorious for their non-standard allocation and life cycle patterns, so a GC might actually be faster here.
Historically there was never a vaccine with only 80% adoption rate, in the U.S at least. Anyone would have considered that a failure for the polio vaccine. All the major vaccines are 90% coverage or better, or at least they did until recent years.
I see why you like the suburbs. But it's essentially a hoax, it's like living above your means on a bunch of credit cards - at least for most people (not all).

Affordability for a lot of suburbs is when you allow for degrading infrastructure and moving more and more towards bankruptcy of cities. Budget analysis for a lot of suburbs show very troubling trends. In essence, living in a properly maintained suburbia is not affordable. Too much street, pipe and wire per capita.

Cleanliness - it's only in appearance. The dirtiness is externalized to the environment by means of CO2 and other emissions due to personal transport. A lot of concrete and asphalt being poured require massive excavations and destruction of nature elsewhere. More than cities.

Quiet is also externalized - cars are extremely noisy and suburbia basically requires a lot of 4000 lbs metal hunks with mostly a single person inside.

Privacy is there, but it costs quite a lot in total societal costs.

Aside from many sane and clever design choices, a key feature of Zig is that it's not Rust.

Why does it matter?

Because (some of) the Rust community is turning out to be toxic and repulsive.

Zig is different player in the same space (C/C++ replacement) with a much less toxic community.
"Do this or you will be unemployable" doesn't sound like force to you?
this is likely due to LLVM being involved in the WASM generation and it being able to perform all of its optimization steps before outputting code.

whereas Zig's C backend has not yet gained the ability to perform all the same optimizations.
I was delighted to discover a full chapter dedicated to troff in a textbook I picked up on Berkeley Unix. Raw documents written in troff (the ones that I’ve seen) seem so quaint. Like little homemade chicken pot pies.

I’m mixed on the state of desktop publishing today. I’m missing that quaintness.
>We also cant just disable a timer temporarily

Sure you can, comment that line out of the service file. It is ultimately just a text file that you can edit.
> Lots of games have been sold with that angle, and few that I can remember were able to come even close to the previous titles.

Troika? Obsidian?
Systemd and NixOS feels like a great fit. It is easier to configure than the real thing and also short scripts are easier to tie together with services and timers. All in one file instead of 2 or 3.
> We can not envision anything 4-D, can we?

We definitely can draw 4-D in paper. It just needs much more work.
Agreed, go has kept me liking programming because, for me, it most the most reliable tool for making trustworthy software. All langs have tradeoffs and areas they excel in but go brings me the most joy/motivation.

Its nice to see a language with similar philsophies tackle the space where go isn't as good at: when you don't want a GC and you need to interface with C. For many that is Rust and I respect it, but I think Rust values concurrency "safety" too high and makes too many compromises in language design to achieve it. Memory safety is a BIG deal to me, without it, sufficiently complex software has never ending CVE's but concurrency bugs just doesn't cause anywhere close to the same number of security problems (orders of magnitude) and crashing programs is fine in most applications and I find concurrency bugs usually are easy to fix early in application lifecycle.
Doctors have to see multiple dozens of patients a day. Often their life sucks, have to sleep on the job in the hospital, etc. Never be envious with their plot, private capital sucks the juice out of everyone unlese we fight back.
That isn't really an interesting statement, it's perfectly possible to make memory safe programs in C or assembly. The question is, how easy is it it to ensure a program is memory safe in Zig?

The trend toward memory safety is marked by languages and tools making it harder to inadvertently write exploitable code, and easier to verify that the program is not exploitable. My understanding of Zig is that while it does some of the same things as so-called memory safe languages, it is not a "memory safe language" in the same sense as they use the term.
I find it kind of strange that the products many of us have our money in are so static. I use the Schwab robo-advisor. It re-balances to a target allocation. But moving to high inflation regime with a recession on the horizon, with the fed hiking rates, and absolutely nothing changes in my portfolio.

They are doing tactical over- and under-weighting of sectors and asset classes in this report. What can retail investors invest in that does the same thing as the big guys?
This isn't about Microsoft vs Sony. This isn't even about anti-consumer tactics. This is about preventing consolidation and monopolization of an industry. Monopolization stifles competition, which always hurts consumers in the long run. There is no reason a consumer should want this deal to go through, even if you're the biggest Xbox fan.
Ah, gotcha. That makes sense!
Whoa, slow down there :) Go is certainly a success in absolute terms, making it to the top ten in some rankings, but at age 13 -- an age by which virtually all languages have either reached or neared their all-time peak with only a single exception I can think of -- it's only ~1/10th as popular as Java [1][2], and not eating nearly as much of its lunch as PHP or Ruby did back in the day.

We use it in production at Amplified! It’s been a joy. We train our own large language models and have fine tuned and deployed using Elixir. I talked about it at ElixirConf this year (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2Nr4dNu6hI).

We were able to completely eliminate a few python services and consolidate to all Elixir for ETL and ML.
Thanks! Right now we do have an "expected" structure that differentiates between client/server/shared code. But as a former Rails person myself, I can say everyone on the team appreciates how "convention over configuration" plus best practices can really help devs and it is something we try to do as well. So I think we will continue to make improvements in this area. Feel free to give it a go and drop into Discord and let us know what you think!
Because as the FTC will tell you, exclusives are generally good for competition except for a few circumstances with monopolist companies. They clearly think Microsoft owning Activision would be one of those circumstances.

Salesforce does this pretty well. Allowing users to put something together to automate a business process quickly.

Their concept of custom tabs, custom objects, fields, page layouts and the way different layouts are assigned to groups of users by profile make it easy to stand up a lot of record keeping and management that's needed in a lot of plain boring business.

Granted, Salesforce is so immensely wide and deep that many of those advantages get lost in the complexity of the platform itself.
A fact that has essentially nothing to do with the safety or efficacy of the COVID vaccine. There has been a deliberate ideologically-driven campaign to undermine that trust.

Ask a COVID anti-vaxxer to explain their position, and it will almost immediately include at least one outright falsehood. Not a "difference of opinion" or "interpretation" or "risk tolerance", but just an outright lie. And correcting that will not result in any reconsideration of their stance.

Most people don't really understand any of the vaccines they're taking, but they put their trust in a medical system that has largely justified that trust. Some people have suddenly decided to disagree with the entire scientific and medical establishment, seeking out specific individuals for their ideological agreement.

There is a large difference in trust, but it's not founded in science. It's founded in a bias, and that's dangerous.
Apparently it's 155 engineers (if LI data is to be believed), and about an equal amount of Sales employees [0].

There's definitely value in the space, but I struggle to imagine how the ends (capturing that value) justifies the means (how they're pursuing that value).

If you know your way around CalDAV [1], you can build the most valuable 20% of their features in a weekend. A team of 3-4 could build the most valuable 80% in a month or two. In fact, some people have not only done that but kept going, and we have FOSS tools like https://cal.com as a result, that are arguably easier to use.

As a board member/founder/executive, one has to in the mirror each night, and feel confident saying "I'm running this company responsibly".

Especially if you're working in a purely digital space (which Calendly is), you have to bend really far to justify hiring that many people. IDK, maybe I'm a standard deviation or two away from norms on frugality, but this baffles me.

[0]: To contrast, WhatsApp sold in (!) 2014 (!) with 32 engineers (~50 total heacount), servicing 450mm active users. So, Calendly have 10x the headcount, on .2x the valuation.

> making the price 29 Euros would mean double the expected ticket sales

Do you have any justification for that claim, or is that just pulling figures out of thin air?

If reducing the price by less (!) than half would that clearly mean double (!) the sales we wouldn't have had the debate we had now – which partly apparently was because the original 3 billion headline figure was estimated based on a ticket price of 69 €, but then the oh-so-wise politicians thought that 49 € would be an even nicer figure. Only on closer calculation it turned out that the additional sales from that lower price very likely wouldn't offset the additional losses generated by all already existing customers paying even less.
> "they're intentionally and knowingly hurting others"
this is an unproven claim, one that was never actually tested. and quite honestly, its very clear the 'vaccine' does not prevent spread, nor even you getting it.

"but it lowers the chances of death!"

Ok... so why are you mandating others getting it because 'hurting others'.
I always see these referred to as "a regional bank".

Why don't you tell us the name of this specific bank so we can look into it?
False. Children, people traveling for emergencies, and anyone medically unable to take the vaccine may travel to the U.S. without it.
I suppose that's fair. I dont want to conflate EA the org with EA the movement or with Givewell - but still the pitch I usually here is "If you give you know your money is going directly to efficient programs where it will actually save lives". The pitch is not "If you give you know your money is going to an administrative org which will multiply your donations by advertising, workshops, and branding"

If I am trying to do the second (influence behavior of others or multiple givings through sustainable orgs) then I would probably donate to Democratic politicians, not EA.
One of the exceptions from the vaccine requirement listed on https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/proof-of... is:

> played the scripted campaigns against the AI and thought they could sit there for the first 30 minutes slowly building up an army.

This right here is my fundamental problem with multiplayer RTS games. The fun I get out of them is in the slow burn long buildup, but other players always find ways to optimize the early game so they win fast and never actually get to the fun part where everyone has massive bases lobbing nukes at eachother. The fun way to play is not the optimal way to play.

It's now been about 10 years since I've even bothered trying an RTS online.

The main user of this bootstrapping process are core contributors, normal users are still supposed to download prebuilt executables from the official website.

Distro maintainers also are not the target user of this bootstrapping process, since it involves a binary blob provided by us.

The real users of this procedure are Zig contributors, so that they can trivially build latest zig always, and without the annoyance of having to keep a C++ version of the compiler in sync with the main one. That's it.

> I want quiet, safety, cleanliness, privacy and affordability.

Most of these are pretty cliche. New York City is one of the safest cities in the country per capita. But as with “cleanliness” is usually trotted out in a dog whistly kind of way that really is about something else. And affordability: yep. You’ve got that for a couple reasons: 1. People LIKE living in cities. Good old supply/demand. 2. As this thread is discussing, suburbs are massively subsidized to the detriment of the cities they neighbor.
Former Twitter engineer on How I’D rebuild a social web app like Twitter today
Thanks for trying it out!

We can definitely be clearer on our focus for programming related queries. We usually don't display code snippets for non-programming questions but definitely still tuning a couple things there.

We're not focused on simple factoid answers like population of cities because that's not where people get the most value.

AWS API is a bit tricky because it is a rather broad technology with SDKs in different languages and thus the search results for a question will return a mishmash of solutions which we then try to make sense of. If you share some sample queries you tried related to this, I'd be happy to look into them and improve our answers there.

Business model: We're currently just focused on building something developers want. Agree that ads and dev tools aren't the most synergetic.
These guys are legacy.
Point taken. It depends who you listen to though. In the right circles, there are plenty of thoughtful discussions about the (de)centralization of protocols (that haven't imploded). See [1] just as an example.

But yes, in other circles, there are "crypto personalities" who cater to an audience that's just hoping to get rich quick. Such people usually don't know or don't care about things like contract upgrade mechanisms.

There are lots of kinds of evidence. I was thinking more like evidence of how the data was handled, who knew what when etc.

Ed: more to the point, if the evidence we have today is all we ever get, it's simply not enough to prove fraud, so it's very premature to start saying past comments "haven't aged well".
I agree that it's almost certain that AI will just concentrate wealth and power. I observed years ago that the reason billionaires were so scared of A(G)I is that it was basically the only thing on the horizon that could disrupt their wealth/power in any meaningful way.

Now that those same billionaires have invested enough of a stake into AI, they seem a lot less concerned.

In my age+health cohort, the known and documented risks of the vaccines outweigh the known risks of COVID-19, but you assume “bad reasons” because it’s not a religious objection or medical contraindication. What makes your risk calculus any more valid than mine?

I would go so far as to say it’s anti-science to lump 99% of the vaccine rejectors as “uninformed”. I’d venture the average mechanistic knowledge of these products is higher than in the rejectors than in the vaccinated set.
Hosting your own instance of Sanity Studio is new.
https://www.sanity.io/docs/embedding-sanity-studio
>Embedding Sanity Studio
Sanity Studio is a React application distributed as a single dependency on npm. The application bundle is also ESM-compatible, meaning that it can be imported directly into browsers as a dependency on an URL. In principle, this means you can embed the Studio in any web application, as long as you can control the routing to redirect all Studio URLs to the page it‘s hosted.

But then, there is also this:
https://www.sanity.io/docs/development
>Sanity Studio always connects to a dataset in the hosted Content Lake, also when run locally. Your content is never stored locally. This means that you can have differences in the schema between a local and a hosted Studio. If the Studio finds content in a document that doesn't match its schema, it will display a warning.

What is the use case for hosting your own instance of Sanity Studio, while still having to rely on Sanity for hosting the content?
Fair point! Thank you for adding nuance to the discussion.
On an unrelated note, I think this lack of downtime is partly responsible for StarCraft pros suffering as much from RSI. There's no clear downtime while playing and the hands have to be going at speed the entire time.
Yeah, and this also shows that the future is not necessarily all decentralized/run by crypto punks in basements. There is an elegant way we can move to a safer, more reliable Internet all while using the current stack that might be hyper-centralized, but has proven to be the most cost-effective and reliable way to do things.
Yeah, I definitely realize many people have had to deal with this sort of thing longer than I have. It was certainly eye-opening.
Sure, and I wasn't a fan of the approaches they used, but I do understand them.

The alternative is either to accept their willful ignorance that will have life-threatening impact on third parties that weren't willfully ignorant, or to cut them off from societal institutions for anything that follows from their decisions.

At least in Germany, that was the debate, and the folks who didn't want to get vaccinated didn't favor living with the consequences either. It's pretty much why we have mandatory retirement programs, because we don't trust the population at large to make smart decisions and we don't want them to rely on society after the consequences of their decisions manifest.
That's funny because I've found the exact opposite. Most everything seems to use roughly the same utilities, but Clojure lets me move more quickly in getting the inputs parsed correctly.

For example, I often start with something like `(slurp "inputs/day-2")` and keep wrapping that until I get a structure I'm happy with. Then I split it into a few fns so I can keep testing with the smaller input

Tesla's Troubles Are Piling Up While Elon Musk Is Distracted with Twitter
Really? I like Go, I might even love it.
As it happens, a friend recommended me the Manna story almost a decade ago! It's been on my mind for the last couple weeks, and I definitely think if we're not careful and deliberate about how we shape our future, we will definitely end up like the first half of that story. Unfortunately, it seems to me like that is exactly what the powerful want. When capital doesn't need labor anymore, they will happily let the rest of us starve.
In my case, I had nighttime images from the same camera, so all the calibration was already done... I was just looking for a rotated version of the nighttime image in the daytime image.

But even in the general case, smallish image patches don't have enough distortion to matter, while still having plenty of oversampling, and only have 3 unknowns. You can probably do some kind of fft trickery to reduce it to 1 unknown. And you can probably use some kind of hill-climbing to further reduce the search effort.
The built-in locking is IMO a big deal.

If you have a script that you run every 24 hours, what happens when it takes 25 hours to complete?
