"The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose 0.1 percent in November on a seasonally adjusted basis, after increasing 0.4 percent in October, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 7.1 percent before seasonal adjustment."

I feel like the rise of only 0.1% October->November is more significant than the 7.1% YOY headline number, which is taking into account a lot of inflation that has already happened months ago. Of course, back in July we had a 0.0% MoM CPI increase that looked promising, but that didn't last long: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/cpi.nr0.htm

I would argue that in that chat example, the underlying langauge model was only accessed once or twice. Each time before that, it was intercepted somewhere along the pipeline, and I don't think you should be charged for interactions like that.

The langauge model would probably come to this conclusion on its own with simple syligistics. Like this:

The strongest factor in IQ is parental involement.
Working class people are less likey to have parental involvement.
Black people are far more likely to be working class.
Therefore, black people as a whole have a lower average IQ.

Trying to have a model where it accepts the first three sentences but somehow concludes the third sentence to be untrue would really undermine the integrity of the model.
return if !User.exists(id=100)

reads just fine and takes less letters. I don't think unless is "bad", it's just unnecessary

> It indicates you don't understand Ruby if you find yourself using an "unless" in a complex boolean operation. It's meant for simple cases like an inline return statement

unless `git status -s | grep -v 'RAILS_VERSION\\|CHANGELOG\\|Gemfile.lock\\|package.json\\|version.rb\\|tasks/release.rb'`.strip.empty?
abort "[ABORTING] `git status` reports a dirty tree. Make sure all changes are committed"
end

is not exactly very readable and this

unless connection.adapter_name == "Mysql2" && options[:id] == :bigint
if [:integer, :bigint].include?(options[:id]) && !options.key?(:default)
options[:default] = nil
end
end

isn't glancable either. Just random snippets from Rails code. You can see how author wanted some bonus points and used unless, if, and ! too. Sure it isn't hard to figure out but it makes it needlesly obtuse
You can use ukuu to get a newer kernel, which will help. I had a similar experience with 5700XT at launch, and it really didn't clear up until the next major release and I had issues with a few things running a more bleeding edge kernel.

Unfortunately, a lot of things don't get shaken out before release because of limited access to hardware. Within around 6 months things are generally a lot better. I wound up switching to a 3080 as I wanted to play with RTX and CUDA, thinking of jumping to an RX 7900 XTX in March/April if prices are still competitive. It won't be as good as 4080 for RTX, but similar to 3080 performance, which for me has been usable.
It depends on how burdensome they expect the law to be. Apple did decide to comply with the USB-C law, but I'm sure there are hypothetical laws they would not comply with. In such a case, I expect apple would be willing to spend enough money lobbying against the law to make sure it never becomes law in a large market. I'm not sure who lobbied against and in favour of the USB-C, or who is harmed and helped by it.
Really? First I've heard of this. All the devs I know love nginx and it has been my go to tool for almost a decade. Although I recently switched jobs and haven't worked with anything web or deployment related for over 6 months now, so my information might be out of date.
I agree with Brett! Plus, if you're not already experienced with ruby, you'll get some exposure to the mruby variant in DR. It's been a pleasure working in ruby!
One thing that you haven't touched on here (and most people don't) is that "professional experience" is highly nebulous in a field like software development where you may have a >10 year head start compared to your peers in terms of life stage.

I started programming when I was 8, and have been a contributor to many software projects from age 11 onwards, with a lot of those contributions still publicly visible on my GitHub profile. Straight out of college, sure I have "~1 year of experience" (that is, if you even count my internships) but I've been programming for more than half my life. If you sum my ad hoc experience contributing to FOSS projects, doing one-off contract work, personal projects, and just tinkering over 15 years I might very well be as good as someone with "15-20 years of broad industry experience", but it doesn't show on my resume as an easily quantified number. I've definitely come across and worked with these kinds of tenured, experienced workers who went into software development not as a hobby or interest but as a mere career and ended up falling behind in their later years due to a lack of drive.

This kind of thing is rare in most professions, so people aren't used to it (and I'm not saying that it's 100% what's happening in your anecdote), but I believe it is becoming increasingly common in software development.
I'm not good
Like the post said, this isn’t the first time Elon has acted this way. He posted the same sort of stuff years ago, also on Twitter. People who ignored him then can ignore him now.

But, just like when certain Twitter users enter public office, Elon being the CEO of Twitter has shined a giant spotlight on him, even outside of Twitter (like this very post we’re commenting on). Elon hasn’t changed, and honestly, not much of Twitter has either. But, by using Twitter, you are ever so slightly increasing the ad revenue the company receives. If that’s not something you can stomach, leave. If you don’t care, stick around, not much will change. Up to you. The author of the post is in the former group.
I agree, but wouldn't consider watching TV to be meaningful research.
Actually LE could. They would re-issue a new valid cert for your domain without removing the old one. That would enable a MITM attack.

Ah yes... Those stories we read where even a hint of a DCMA request results in a takedown, so that the host avoids the legal risk. That could be extremely effective in this case?!
As a Brit, I'm used to rail journeys taking an extra hour or two due to delays or cancellations. When working and living in the US, I dropped off a friend at Denver station on my way to fly home for Christmas. Upon returning , I didn't know whether to be amused or horrified when he revealed that his train to LA had been delayed by ..... a day and a half !! What?!!! He said he spent a very long happy time, basically a whole day, in the bookstore though, and didn't seem to have any complaints about it, said it wasn't unusual to be that delayed. ;)
It was far from perfect, but there were many people there who cared and was working to make it a better place for everyone. Musk throw all those efforts out of the windows, brought conspiracy theories front and center, let banned people for violating Twitter's own rules get back, etc. There's no hope of improvement anymore.
According to metric information at (https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php), about 80% of the known public internet where we know the back-end language uses PHP. About 25% of the internet is WordPress. So... ~55% of the internet is PHP non-WordPress. These aren't the best numbers but try to disprove them.
I would argue that this reaction shows that the exercise was extremely useful for you and should probably be done with the participation of a professional.

No one is too far gone and this exercise literally helped you feel your feelings. That's a good thing, even if it doesn't feel comfortable in the immediate.
Are there any clear descriptions of what constitutes "terrorist content" available? What are the criteria for inclusion in this list? And what are the other types of abusive content mentioned in the article besides child exploitation content? A list like this can be used to potentially harm normal kinds of free speech depending on what's added to the list.
I self-host on a 3-node Kubernetes cluster in my basement. It runs on three off-lease HP DL360 1U servers that I bought for about $120 each. I work heavily with Kubernetes in my day job, so this also gives me a playground for things that I may need to know about for work, or also things I'll _never_ need in my day job, but are good learning opportunities anyway.

I have an overspecced solar install on my roof that make the electricity used by the cluster essentially free to me, so the only recurring cost is business-class Internet service.

AI-generated content poses new risks amid newsroom layoffs
My timeline has just been all about Musk, I hide posts and so on but it's no use. He wants to be the main character and people are giving him attention. It's annoying and I have not that much interest in it.

People hate on Mastodon but there you can actually find insightful content with hashtags and see what you want, I spent a good amount of time curating my twitter TL but I don't see much use in going there right now. I don't preach to just migrate to mastodon or other places but Twitter seems like it has run its course, for me at least, I hope it improves since there used to be a lot of great content from developers once you block/mute people playing the algorithm.

Additionally I'm getting DM requests all the time from bots, today alone I got 3, I don't understand what's happened.
My favorite part is that Elon's follower count has only been increasing since he bought the platform despite his many public admissions that most of those accounts are bots. notice how when he bans bots from posting he doesn't delete the accounts so his fragile ego won't be hurt by losing followers
I managed to stay away from Instagram and Facebook for +3 years, so I guess that's feasible.
You're right that there are a lot of bad actors out there, but in my experience they are pretty easy to deal with if you set things up right. The biggest annoyance for me self-hosting has been ISP refusing to give static IP and decent upstream bandwidth.

I've hosted my own website and email server for decades. It does take a little work to keep up with things like DMARC, reverse DNS etc, but if you get a good score on
https://internet.nl/test-mail/ and don't spam anybody, self-hosted email works fine.
FYI you are misusing "greylist."
They should have left Twitter years ago, instead of tolerating the eternal outrage, CP being posted on there for decades.

The total and immediate collapse of Twitter has been greatly exaggerated as such, they even created a 'days since bad news' schadenfreude page at https://twitterisgoinggreat.com

Twitter being still alive for the 200M+ daily active users and for the screaming minority complaining and coping around its immediate collapse 'any minute now™' stories.

Please continue to have Twitter rent free in your minds.
Ask HN: Are Any of You Tired from macOS and Want to Go Back to Linux?
macOS is nice, but I always feel like everything is controlled by apple and I can't change it. Like using a window manager, which in Linux it helped a lot, but in macOS there is almost none good ones, they all feel like kind of sluggish.

Neumann scammed chump investors out of a bunch of money in ways that were legal, but would have been illegal at a publicly traded company.

For example, selling some of his wework shares, buying office buildings, then leasing the buildings back to wework at above-market rates. Registering the 'We' trademark for himself then selling it to wework. That would be illegal due to being a conflict of interest, were the company publicly traded - but it wasn't.

The Value of iPaaS for Developers
It's not that curious at all really.

The SEC is authorized to pursue criminal cases for securities fraud (among many other things). Furthermore, they can refer criminal cases to the Dept of Justice, which has almost certainly happened.

To the extent that FTX defrauded consumers, these will be reflected in civil and criminal cases.

To my knowledge, the SEC does not protect deposits in the event of bankruptcy. Most individuals with assets on deposit at FTX are unsecured creditors.
I literally mentioned that in the comment you replied to, yes

Comparatively, it's not a bad price... generally and historically it's pretty bad and will turn off a lot of people. That said, they'll still probably sell out for the next quarter or so, as they're competitive and have been a lot of people holding off on upgrading. I know of a lot of people still running GTX 9xx/1xxx, and older RX 4xx/5xx cards.
You've bought a $150k "toy". Assuming its price accurately reflects the amount of engineering expertise poured into it: how much expertise do you need yourself to repair it? How much is it going to cost to hire someone to do that for you? How much more expensive it would've been if it had to be designed for end-user repairability?

I'm all for right to repair, and of course the alternative is to just have a brick. But designing for repairability (and actually performing the repair) has its price tag, and may prove much less practical than we'd hope.
No company is perfect.. I log into Gitlab, stuff works, devs are happy. Everything else is a bonus. No explore page? who cares, devs are still happy. Inactive repositories debacle? No time for that, to be honest! I think you are holding Gitlab to the wrong standards.
My therapist is fond of a similar exercise and I've learned to adopt it.

While it may seem a waste of time, visualizing an emotion, giving it a colour, consistency, texture, material lets you be an observer to it. By forcing yourself to study it, you need to step outside of its bounds, separating the you from the emotion itself. That distance you have created and held for a few moments is a welcome relief and often makes it apparent that you are a separate entity from your pain. The further away you are from it, the less painful it is. And the more you look at it, the weaker it seems. At the end of the exercise you are more aware that whatever tormenting you was just a fleeting moment with little power over you.

I find it is a brilliant and incredibly powerful concept to internalise. You can find this is the exact idea expressed in stuff like Dune's Litany Against Fear (by reciting it, you are visualizing your fear as a third party, outside of you), or meditation (remaining a passive observer to your thoughts)

The Parents in the Middle of FTX’s Collapse
Now I feel that sharing the revenue over and over looks a bit by bragging, but I'm pretty sure it's just because I've already seen too many #buildinpublic tweets.

I'm always reminded by the fact that I myself started selling Lunar (https://lunar.fyi) specifically because in a private discussion with the developer of rotato.app, he told me he makes $16k/month with his apps. I was making less than half of that, working on things that felt useless and ready to be scrapped by the next manager, and feeling miserable every day.

Because of this, I also started sharing my revenue in comments from time to time, in the hope that someone would be inspired as I was.

But I strive to do this as rarely as possible. Some of these #buildinpublic journeys create the false impression that it's easy to get that kind of money. It isn't, a lot of it is chance.

Since Lunar, I've put my countless ideas into some other apps at https://lowtechguys.com, but very few generate more than $100/month of revenue. There is room to grow, but hitting a niche is usually the biggest factor in getting sustained revenue high enough to live on.
We had Rackspace and used them for our managed servers at a prior job. We had a machine with 18-24 cores and something like 768GB of RAM that handled all of our VMs, including our SAS server. It had a bunch of native SSDs and it was connected to a 20TB JBOD of SSDs and a 100TB JBOD of slower spinning disks. They recommended this setup to my predecessor as it was WAY less money than a similar SAN configuration.

So. One day the two JBOD enclosures just start failing. We lose EVERYTHING. Ok, that sucks, but Rackspace handles all of our backups for us through our SLA. Let's get that restored while they figure out the JBOD issue.

Two things come out of this:

1. Their 'fanatical support' were 'backing us up' but they never actually tested the solution and...we lost everything. There were no backups.

2. They sold us the JBODs less than 18 months prior but they no longer supported them and thus we'd have to invest in a SAN--which was a crazy investment more.

---

We had already been planning a transfer to a new local data center over the course of a year's time. We called up the new company and told them we needed to move over to their shit in 7 days. They had us up in 2.

I'll never consider Rackspace for anything.
I agree with most of the other replies, so I won't belabor the point that learning to properly introspect is hugely valuable.

But I will say that Factorio is terrible for my mental health.

It's super fun, and in small bursts it can be great. But it's a crutch on par with alcohol for me. I tend to binge when bored or unhappy. I'd encourage you to find other ways to deal with whatever it is you're distracting yourself from. Using tools like the above, or meditation, can help you confront and neutralize it.
Black market opiate & opioid users need to get off the danger train and start taking kratom. It may not get you quite as 'high', but it can stave off cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and help you find stability. Harm reduction is a viable solution.

Heck, Macros are the only reason why you would need vim today. It's really like a programming language with text buffer and chars as your input, and outputs being cursor movements and text.

Everything else something like vscode already provides.

The deal is the kind of text heavy lifting tasks that truly use the power of macros are rare in most modern programming practice. In fact if you are writing repeated patterns of code you are likely doing something very wrong.

Emacs is special in the case that basically all Emacs commands can be automated.

Long back I had written a Twitter thread(Which I now lost), which tried to capture all kinds of editing patterns for you could use macros to go from O(something_crazy) to O(1) equivalent of editing tasks.
It's an example of latest in many high profile scams.
If you think it's parody that's fine, but you cannot deny the public mood is souring on big promises with out big results.

FTX is simply the latest in a series of media empowered EXTREMELY high profile scams. You can easily put a thousand other different high profile companies or claims in there.
>This is so a US thing.

It's also rather exaggerated. People get injured all the time doing all sorts of activities without lawyers getting involved. And actual findings of negligence have a fairly high bar although companies do sometimes make payments to make suits go away especially if they did something not by the book.

It's cool if it drags more people into vim, but as a vim user, I'm not very impressed.

I mean, he knows some useful commands (:read, mostly) but the most time saving fraction (repeat xxx times a motion) is very basic and nnot very cleverly executed as he splits it in 2 actions.

Using a macro would have helped introduce a new concept to the new users, while completing the task in one step.

I thought Meta is usually Alt? Or am I confusing it with Mod?

AFAIK Haiku has things like copy on Alt. So you'd have to press Alt+C to copy.

Personally, I would prefer to keep the "Windows"/Super key free for OS-wide shortcuts, e.g. tap=search, hold=drag window with mouse, Super+enter=terminal, Super+h=minimize (as in GNOME), Super+w = overview (as in KDE), etc. Using Alt for that and Super for commands would also work, but is somewhat counterintuitive to me as Super has the logo of an OS on it. On the other hand it is the same key order as used by macOS.
