I predict the first big crunch is going to happen once we have on-prem models in closed loops with company software. Fwiw looks like writing code will die before reading it will, so maybe get real good at making PR comments and close reading? That might buy a few years.
I really like this idea. I felt a real desire to want to be good at it so it was definitely addictive haha. In keeping with the score idea already mentioned, it might be cool to display a high score streak of correct answers amongst all users. I would think that'd make it even more addicting by comparing your current streak with the best all time streak.
All approaches need to deal with desync and do it in different ways. Lockstep waits causing a hitch for everyone. Rollback resimulates and will pop. Interpolating positions will mean you occasionally need to catch up. It’s just the nature of latency and unreliable network conditions. The trick is how to deal with this without it interrupting gameplay significantly. For example in rollback you need to keep clients reasonably in sync with the progression of time so a lot of the time different clients are either running slightly slowly or slightly fast to catch up to the baseline. You’re dealing with a situation where everyone is in their own universe and trying to make sure they eventually end up in sync. In the interpolated example that might mean giving coordinates relative to a particular entity. For example in an interpolated setup an explosion happening on the server against a fast moving vehicle probably needs to be relative to the vehicle for it to make sense when it reaches a client where the vehicle will naturally be in a somewhat different location.

By the sounds of things you’re sending positions updates and broadcasting them from the server. If that’s the case some bog standard interpolation should just work. If you’re seeing divergence then you’re probably running code with a non-deterministic result on the different machines. Typically speaking you want to work out who ‘owns’ each part of the simulation and make sure anything you do elsewhere converges back to that.
These tired stereotypes aren't true now, weren't true decades ago when I was in school, and were likely never true.

But they work well on sitcoms, is that where you get your perspective on the world?
Common practice for the websites of law firms (and some other fields like private equity) to have the headshots of all employees on their website with job title and description in a nice table.

Example of a different firm where you can even filter by school: https://www.wlrk.com/attorneys/?asf_l=View%20All
But when you remove Snaps, how do you install the apps Snap was providing? I recommend Linux Mint which has no Snaps and everything is in the repo as normal.
You've convinced me. $600 for a monitor stand is a complete steal.
Our electromagnetic shell drops below the noise floor around 15 light years out for say 5 MW military radars. For coherent signal decoding into carrier wave and payload waveforms as opposed to being able to point to a signal and say, yep that's not natural, probably around 5 light years out. Some discussion here [1] to get you started.

Even assuming super duper alien technology that violates what we know of the physics of signals transmission that can pick up the faintest earliest human radio signals, our 200 light year shell is insignificantly sized against the backdrop of the galaxy at large [2].

Yes, if someone out there is broadcasting on radio frequencies, it would be the galactic equivalent of The Russian Woodpecker [3]. That's possibly a Kardashev Type II or at least a very high like 0.90 Type I level technological civilization accomplishment to put out artificial radio frequencies on the scale of naturally-produced ones.

There is lots of discussion on ideal frequencies to broadcast upon and look for [4]. There is even a discussion familiar to IT data protection folks that is the interstellar equivalent of a station wagon filled to the brim with tape hurtling down the freeway [5].

But the gist is we'd do better to reconfigure our economic north star upon moving the metric ass-tons of humans off Earth into habitats and working out how to move us around space faster and faster, than waiting for ET to visit us.

China doesn’t even have to scan now, Github is going to sort it out and send it all for us. Sounds bad.
Are you picturing a world where companies are still making mostly the same kind of products as today, just with robots instead of people?

The change AI brings could be lot more fundamental than that. What that means for jobs though, is really hard to predict.

> If you are ever in Portugal, I recommend seeing the last Templar castle in Tomar. I found its scale and engineering quite spectacular, as well as how well it appears to have been preserved.

The Templar castle in Tomar was probably my best sightseeing experience, maybe because I wasn't expecting anything (her: "there's a templar castle let's go", me: "ok"). It was quite large and there were surprisingly few tourists: I think there were two other pairs visiting at the same time. Yes there's the window and the architecture is quite varied, but the general atmosphere, the vastness and the quitness is something I'll never forget.
> > In this case, they’re trying to get their own law ruled unconstitutional so that SCOTUS will have to agree that the TX abortion law is, too.

> I dont think that is true.

It was approximately true when the law was adopted, before Roe was struck down. Specifically, they were trying to present a situation where the Court would either be forced to rule that the mechanism the Texas law used to try to avoid federal court review of the substance by calling it something other than state action would be ruled as not serving that purpose, or states would be free to do whatever they want by the same method, including things that judges that preferred avoiding reaching the merits of the Texas case given Roe would not approve of.

With Roe overturned, that fork no longer works to protect abortion rights, but that was the (fairly overt) purpose of the law. And it still works on other things, and other states have either adopted or discussed using the Texas mode to attack other rights which remain federally protected that California would have the same issue with by the same means Texas used on abortion, so the basic concern is still active even if the particular issue is less so.
Yes, that's right. It's racist but defended as "anti-racist", which is a remarkably effective phrase.

It was the same thing with food packaging. Land 'o Lakes literally removed the Native American woman but they kept the land! She used to be in every grocery store. Now removed.
I assume that easier installation, reduced attack surface, possibly more lightweight (regarding server load).
Contrast that to mind uploads and humans become practically immortal with an infinite expected value - but I don't want the governments spending any money on that either at this point in time, before the human race addresses certain structural issues.
And Free Bird (1973) is 9 minutes long, and the bane of Guitar Hero sessions. I have seen it explicitly banned from conventions because it is so long.

It isn't the longest Guitar Hero song, but it is probably the best known. And by the way, the infamous "Through the Fire and Flames" is 7:22.
The difference is that, when I am shopping on InterestingContentForSaleSite.com, now I have TWO sketchy companeis to worry about, InterestingContentForSaleSite.com and paidlinkto.com

2 vendors is infinitely worse than 1, because they can blame each other for whatever goes wrong, creating an unbreakable circle of blame. If I try to chargeback paidlink.to, they can say "the link works, not our fault that the user and InterestingContentForSaleSite.com disagree on the value of the link".

At least PayPal has some reputation for consumer protection.
She’s like a badass or something in that movie, right?

I feel vaguely like that was a sendup of a trope that is like: a landlady who kind of harries the main character but isn’t taken very seriously because she’s a woman. But that idea doesn’t resonate as much anymore (which is good!), so the sendup loses some grounding.
That speed vs "fixing it" after an embarrassment trade-off is a hard one - def seen many folks hit that. Avoiding being / having to be reactionary in the first place is probably the smartest, if you can pre-plan!
There's a lot of weird transphobia going on in this thread fam. It's pretty clear a lot of people who post here are deeply uncomfortable people on this site. If our "community" is so good, expecting more respect and care for the groups who were unironically targeted by Hitler is a pretty solid start
Your totally ignore the key element here: a new technology is allowing denying entry at a whole new scale. Nobody really has an objection to organization blocking a single individual who is might cause trouble. But blocking an entire class of people is a) newly enabled* and b) much more harmful to society.

If a venue kicked out a lawyer who was actively working on a lawsuit against the venue, nobody would bat an eye. But kicking out every person on payroll at any firm that has a lawsuit against any venue in the parent company, the scale has now transformed this into a different thing.

The next step people worry about is that this same technology could be applied to more than just busniess you dislike. Why not block people who have disparaged your business on social media? Why not block people with poor credit scores or a criminal history?

So you could draw a line between (3) and (4), but you should also be adding

5. I, as a business owner, should I not be allowed to invent new ways to deny entry to entire categories of people.

* obviously blocking people on visual characteristics like skin color is already possible. And that is widely regarded as unacceptable!
AirBnB should be banned indeed. No good has come of it, and it was predictable. The original investors got a ton of money out of it, and some landlords probably did well, but the rest has to suffer the nuisance and the extra pressure on the housing market.
But is that actually bad? Don’t we want the people making decisions to have skin in the game? People use money everyday to express their preferences, why shouldn’t we use it here?
If programming is out, what could possibly survive the onslaught, besides, I suppose being a plumber or electrician?
Could you provide some examples? I use basecamp 8+ hours a day and have no idea what you have in mind.
Also stupid because client has both a very different technological and semantic meaning.
It was worthless even before the AI advancements. I don’t think my MS degree contributed in any significant way, either in the day-to-day or in the overall arch of my career. I seriously consider it to have been a waste of time and money.

I went to https://astral.ninja then used the authors key (af30bf9b7c8843a1f323699a8320a879dfee4b17512696fec39969db284af14a). I'm able to see who he is messaging [0]. Messages themselves are replaced with "???" but it's a big privacy issue for me that people can see who I'm conversing with as well as how often.

Despite that, I do think this looks cool? I cannot see this ever hitting mainstream and will certainly never challenge Twitter but the ideas presented are neat. I might be playing around with this tonight.

Covid is still around. Always wear your mask in public.

Don't show ID unless it's a cop demanding it (when it's legally required). Private parties can't demand ID. Don't give ID for routine transactions. Practice saying no to routine demands for your papers.

It doesn't improve unless a lot of us start ending the transactions.
> Have you ever heard of gamergate?

Yes. It's what arguably started (this iteration of) this insanity. And it's very much "the wokes" GP was referring to, not "other religions and subcultures".

> Do you have any idea what it's like to be a woman on the internet?

No. I have some idea based on what I've been told by women close to me, but it's obviously a small sample limited by age and geography.
In the US, at least, there are restrictions on 3. You can’t deny entry to black people, for example, just because you don’t like black people.
Many organizations (including the Girl Scouts) have required chaperone-to-kid ratios for trips like this.

Booting one chaperone from a trip could put the entire party out of compliance with the organization's policy and require exclusion of some fraction of the group or possibly cancellation of the trip.

Typical Girl Scout policy here:

https://www.gsnorcal.org/content/dam/girlscouts-gsnorcal/doc...

(Note the requirement that at least one chaperone be female and at least two of the chaperones be unrelated, and note that if you have to split the girls you probably need to send a minimum of two chaperones with each half..)
If I understand your objection, I don't think it is a problem. Wouldn't the preview et. al. be on the web page with the sales pitch? Only after the user was satisfied with what was being offered on that page, would the user request (and then pay) for the link.
The first time I read the book I was stunned that a debut novelist could write such incredibly detailed characters. They just jump off the page.

By the second time I had researched Tartt's life (as the article says...she's almost Pynchon-esque in that she doesn't reveal much in public) and knew that it was based on actual people she had known in college (with Tartt herself as the gender-swapped protagonist).

By the third time I didn't care anymore and just read it because it's such a unique experience. As someone else said upstream it's not a murder mystery...it's a character study that happens to have murders.

The absolute best time to read this would be around 16-24 or so...but it would be interesting to hear the perspective of a first time reader at your age.
Huh. It's almost like writing native guis with cross-platform bindings was a thing for a reason.
Elon Musk profile is just something as an example for no particular reason except that it's someone who has a biography on Wikipedia, there was no intention to make a parody of Twitter's new policy.

"I did not bother. The fact that microsoft, google and facebook invest money into it is proof enough. You reject it because you're being irrational."

Basically, you are saying you are a cargo cultist rather than a serious software developer.

You fail to understand that the software practices of large multi-national companies are rarely good.

I think in the past I've fixed this by doubling the resolution. More precisely - detecting device pixel density and setting the canvas size based on that.
I like pwgen:

pwgen 32 1

This creates one password of 32 characters of reasonable classes. There are options to adjust character classes if the site enforces something like that.
Change "dislike" to "actively works against you".
From an experiential point of view, this reminds me a lot of the "computer science is useless because of outsourcing" claims I heard when I was in college. It didn't prove true then. It could be true now, but I admit it's harder to take the sky-is-falling thesis seriously now.

From a theoretical point of view, I believe we are a ways off from AI replacing software engineers. The hardest part of most real world software development is the translation of requirements into a workable product. I don't have firm proof for this, but my argument would be that that translation is itself something that would require general intelligence AI and that we are a ways out.
Hopefully they didn't pay $millions...the source is completely unminified, it checks a cookie, calls Google Analytics, then changes the login link from display:none to display:block.

function LoginButtonClick() {
var selAccount = $("#accounts").val();

LoginCookieSet(selAccount);

if (typeof ga !== 'undefined')
ga('techcu.send', 'event', 'button', 'Click', 'Member Login');

var formAction = "https://online.techcu.com/User/AccessSignin/Password"; // testing url

switch (selAccount) {
case "1":
formAction = "https://online.techcu.com/User/AccessSignin/Password";
if (window.location.host === "dev.techcu.com" || window.location.host === "qa.techcu.com") {
formAction = "https://onlinetest.techcu.com/User/AccessSignin/Password";
}
break;
case "3":
formAction = "https://businessbanking.techcu.com/";
break;
case "2":
formAction = "https://businessbanking.techcu.com/smallbusiness";
break;
default:
formAction = "http://online.techcu.com/User/AccessSignin/Username";
}
if ($('#UsernameField1').val().substr(0, 2) == "**") {
$('#onlineBankingLogin #UsernameField').val($('#UserNameHidden').val());
} else {
$('#onlineBankingLogin #UsernameField').val($('#UsernameField1').val());
}
$('#onlineBankingLogin #PasswordField').val($('#PasswordField1').val());

$('#onlineBankingLogin').attr('action', formAction);
$('#onlineBankingLogin').submit();
}

The direct login link is then visible, you can bookmark https://online.techcu.com/User/AccessSignin/Start for later...but yeah, nonfunctional for ~10% of desktop browsers is not a good look for a technology credit union.
The next time someone asks, "What do you mean by woke? Isn't that just about being aware and kind?"

I thought so at first too, but no. It's use the words we tell you to use. Have the opinions we tell you to have. Otherwise it's harmful and you're a bad person.

This initiative is what is meant by “woke” and ones similar to it. It's a dangerous totalitarianism that presents itself with exactly this kind of empathetic language and emotional blackmail. It's intolerance disguised as tolerance.
This is all about validation of musk narrative. Had zero to do with democracy or free speech. Same as twitter is not a so call town square and a free speech zone. It is a private company with a leader that want to shape and direct a point of view.
Giving the subject "agency" from a handful of preselected poses and backgrounds seems like no agency at all and is forcing a predetermined outcome.

I don't know when this was created but I wonder if a new StableDiffusion (w/dreambooth) powered version would be more interesting since the observer/editor gives their interpretation of "female gaze" for the subject VS what the author tells what agency is. It would be illustrative to see where the public matches or deviates from the author's perspective.
We went with esbuild and regardless of speed (it's way faster) the main reason I like it is because the config is tiny and I actually understand what it's doing. Our Webpacker config was big and fragile by comparison.

Show HN: Dolla JavaScript (a library of methods for the DOM)
Here's a growing library of javascript methods that augment the existing functionality of methods available for working with the DOM. The most helpful method is `createElement` or `append` that adds a wider range of content that can be appended, including support for callbacks, and Promises.
So, so much of our job is not writing code, it's understanding what is going on, communicating it to non-technical people, etc. It is very clear that these tools don't have an understanding what they're doing, it is all an advanced form of pattern recognition.

Some of our jobs may be automated by AI in the next N years, but I think we are quite a ways away our jobs being truly replaced, as opposed to simply augmented.

Don't forget that also in many ways these tools may (and are likely to) spawn the need for more programmers, while decreasing the total costs of development, but we will absolutely still be needed.

Remember, a computer can't be "fired". It can't be "blamed" when the site goes down, etc etc. We work in human organizations and fill in many needs beyond simply the time we spend in emacs.

Based on the description. I read this too and it was enlightening. So +1.
A problem is that during the subjective measuring the optometrists reduce the strength until your vision get worse. But astigmatism does not affect the vision so much. Then they get, you have 20/20 vision with the correct glasses, and 20/20 vision with weaker glasses, so they give you weaker glasses, even though they cause some blurriness
There’s also a great deal outside your control for making accurate estimates that is never accounted for: coworkers who don’t review your PRs, flakey build systems, slow build systems, coworkers who do review your PRs but build an enormous punch list of things that may or may not be in scope for the work, complex merge conflict resolution that requires understanding concurrent work, linters that fail your PR, etc.
I never said we should take the money or even that we should prevent them from wasting their money on cryonics… I was simply stating it was still a waste of money. I can tell someone they are wasting their money without forcing them to stop.
This is less of a problem if when public places aren't private property, but we still have the second part of the problem: can one be forced to do business with someone one doesn't want to. It seems like in this case, she was already sold a ticket, so that seems to be a moot point on this particular case.
And if it’s not far away, we’ll have many other things to worry about! For me, accepting my total helplessness on world-altering events like this makes the anxiety go away. There could be a zombie apocalypse tomorrow, or a giant meteor could be headed right toward earth, or I could be diagnosed with terminal cancer. I’ll either survive or I won’t.
You don't need any facial recognition for that, just get their ID to check if they are not banned while selling them tickets.
> Also, education is a great way to ride out the current crappy job market.

Don’t sleep on this.

In 2008 I had a few friends go back for higher education rather than stay at/take low quality jobs. They graduated with additional debt, but also with credentials that accelerated their job search and earnings during the recovery.

If your personal situation allows it, it’s a good idea to consider.
Thank you. This answers my question adequately
