The starbucks idea is most on the money and I can see free rides could be subsidised by destinations.

A bit like some casinos will pay for your cab to get there I am sure a shopping centre could pay $10 for an uber contingent on spending say $500 in stores and this reduces their parking demand too.

Restaurants and bars would consider it surely. Each beer is $1 off your ride home. Might discourage drink driving!

Eventually, like a Bangkok Tuktuk you will be taken to a shop for an hour to buy some emeralds and shit on the way to your actual destination!

> I was an avid reader until ebook readers appeared

Same here, though possibly not for the same reasons. I go through phases of reading a couple of ebooks a week, but if I'm not careful I get reading deserts where when I look back I've spent weeks curating/buying more ebooks and never actually getting around to reading them.

I love reading, but it's a constant battle to be a reader and not just a collector of books, something I never have an issue with when it comes to my physical collection (which is large but also largely untouched due to tired, aging eyes).
* And if you're buxom? Forget it. You have to own an array or be in pain.*

If you are buxom enough, you might not be able to afford or find an array of bras. If I buy in my size - generally around an H cup - bras easily range from $80-$120 each. I always have to buy a specialty bra. I had never found my size in an actual store in the US: I had to move to Europe for that.

All that said: Once I was able to find bras in my size, I did find that many are well-made, they fit and aren't rubbing nor digging in, and wearing them through the day hasn't really been an issue. At least, until they are wearing out and needing replaced.
My parents had a highly computerized feeding system on our farm. In the summers I worked student jobs in highly technological green houses picking tomatoes and pig slaughter houses besides the work on the farm. I've grown some form of scepticism from experience of the high degree of automation in food production systems from a consumer or operator side. Do mind I work in automation but it needs to bring more value than just playing with toys. Permaculture systems are designed to reduce or optimize usage of all resources also labor. You set up an ecosystem where pests are kept under controle by other organisms instead of relying chemical or mechanical controls. This is even more puritanical than classic organic farming where you rely on natural pesticides. I am from Belgium where we have the belgium blue white cow which is very highly yielding in meat because of a genetic mutation but you are very dependent on vets for giving birth via caesarians because of the high degree of muscularity. There is a trend towards other races like limousin for meat production. In biological systems theory of constraint applies very much were you are very dependent on limiting factors like micronutrients, vitamins or in this case microchips. Humans and hamsters are both the only animals that can't produce vitamin C which makes fresh fruit a limiting factor for us or we get scurvy. The reliance on natural gas for nitrogen fertilizer via the born haber proces is already a handicap in a polarizing world. Imagine being reliant for operation of your food production system on a geopolitical hotbed like Taiwanese computerchips. I do think technology can also help with the design of robust food systems. I know the food forest institute in Belgium has a course on using drones for surveyance.

While Cmake has a large share of idiosyncrasies, a build system is much more graph oriented and must therefor at some point have a way to declare such dependencies, often using a DSL, for concurrency and incrementals to be reliable. Lets not forget IDEs that need to understand the project structure as well.

Workflows on the other hand are more conditional and imperative, mapping better to normal programming languages, with the exceptions of transient error handling, long timers and distributing workload. Here, writing a custom DSL would be a much bigger mismatch.

Best for build configuration would be a hybrid, where the declaration of dependencies is done with normal programming language, which at the end calls a build(dep_tree)-function where all the magic happens. With the risk of developers abusing this setup-step and run half the build in their own reinvented imperative flow here instead... trust me, I've seen this happen even in makefiles that run shell commands outside of targets. This is what Scons tries to be, it seems however not to be very popular compared to cmake.

Weird stuff and how to test it

Not exactly a getting started guide, but if you want to learn about Prometheus and PromQL, I've recently made a tool to spin up an instance and send fake metrics data to it: https://github.com/pb82/prometheus-toolbox

This sets you up to play around and learn PromQL.

Author here!

This is a short post about how to apply tests to problems outside the space of normal code. It covers two strategies – snapshot testing and verification of real production systems – using examples taken from my career, where investing in a way to test was really worthwhile.

The broader point is that processes or strategies you find in one part of software engineering can often be used to great effect in others, if you're willing to try.

I've got weirder examples, such as hacking TypeScript/BigQuery/dbt/Metabase to inject user-defined-functions into a production system, but these felt the most generally useful.

At least in the U.S., you can get refurbished Dell OptiPlex Micro and Lenovo ThinkCentre M Series PCs for just over $100. I opted for the moderately more expensive Intel Nuc because I could buy the barebones version since I had some spare memory laying around that I wanted to use up. Plus, I only needed one such computer for my server needs.
Thank you.

I plan on adding new words and introducing levels as well.
Right now offering 35 words as for beginners it might get too much at once. With new levels complexity and number of words will increase.

About right/wrong answers: I don't want to feed wrong information to the brain. Idea is to allow users to make mistake and at the end only allow them to swipe in direction which is right.

But I will think about pros of your idea as well :)
I think we need something like Uber pool but run as subsidized city infrastructure. Like a fleet of small bus or maybe even a full size bus without a fixed route, picking up and dropping passengers throughout the city.

I feel like there's valuable information that could help planners plan bus routes and potentially local transit train tracks but why would someone like Uber ever voluntarily share this data with planning authority?
We used to have that in the UK (the "Net Book Agreement") for most of the 20th century, but it collapsed in the 1990s, I think under pressure from big chain bookshops like Dillons that wanted to be able to attract customers with discounts on books.

> But you won't have 10-messages-long discussion with anybody if there's 1010 users and 10 of them are human.

In such a place it doesn't really matter whether anyone is real, does it? You're probably there to get a few laughs or something, not build relationships with people.

Though there's more serious places with real people. Off the top of my head there's two large discord servers I'm active in: One is to find people to play a certain video game with, the other is a community of developers who use somewhat niche technology and probe each other's brains for knowledge that often can't be found on the internet. In either community a chat bot would be immediately obvious.
If a background check is done there is no point in asking. And arrest records are confidential unless they resulted in a conviction.
We ran a pilot with one carrier for a subset of their crew for maybe a year, but eventually failed to gain further traction. Very tough sales and implementation cycle in spite of the fact that we could convince many individuals (bothe crew and management with their competing concerns) of the benefits of our system.

A few days ago, someone asked on a forum suggestions for spending a large Amazon gift coupon on books and games.

I started looking for rare, expensive and/or old books that I know about, and at the first result page I realized how futile it was, between unknown quality, unknown marketplace sellers, unreliable listings, the chance of scammers, and the ridiculously inaccurate mass of irrelevant search results that drown out relevant ones.

Other people actually recommended, in harsh terms, to buy electronics etc. on Amazon and get books and games from proper sources.

It is quite obvious to the mass public, not a special insight, that Amazon doesn't love to sell stuff: not only books and media, but anything except maybe Prime subscriptions.
I much prefer working on my fast Ryzen "NUC" to a Pi4, but for electronics tinkering, I miss it having decent memory-mapped GPIO+SPI+I2C. From time to time, I search around in case someone's done a nice PCIe (or M.2?) card with a handful of I2C and SPI buses plus a bunch of GPIOs, but haven't found anything decent.

Ironically, I'd be happy to pay much more than the cost of a entire Pi4 to get the same GPIO as an add-on for a fast, reliable amd64 machine.
I'm curious to why you've that view? care to elaborate?

Perhaps the temperature of the perfectly healthy state can vary between people as can their sensitivity to deviations. As for me, though, it has always been exactly 36.6°C. The idea of somebody telling me 37°C is healthy drives me mad because I feel terrible at 37°C, such temperature indicates I am surely sick and will probably infect others. As soon as my temperature deviates from 36.6°C (36.65°C is Ok, 36.7°C is not) I immediately feel physical discomfort in my whole body and that is not a placebo effect - I feel it first and confirm it with a measurement after.

I measure my temperature in my armpit using a classic mercury thermometer. I tried an electronic thermometer but found it imprecise.

This way I want to defend 36.6°C as the normal temperature and to abolish 37°C being considered normal as well. Perhaps it can be normal but that would be an individual trait of a specific person. Unless such a temperature is proven normal for this specific person, a person with 37°C armpit temperature should not be allowed to visit the office, attend flights etc.
I wonder how much it would cost to run if it were designed and run with 2022 modern best practices of Kubernetes, Helm, Node + React, on a fleet of cattle servers hosted on AWS, paired with expensive add-on services because running PostgreSQL is too hard.

The cynic in me says it would cost at least 10x that, require a full time team of 5 devops, and we'd suffer at the very least the same amount of outages, if not worse.
Sure, we can go with the other option that humans will stay the most intelligent species on Earth until the solar system dies, history just shows that it's quite improbable.
Tell that to FTX, BlockFi, etc. customers.
As we learned in Europe in 2022, electricity isn't some infinite resource. When it gets rationed, the price goes way up.

A raspberry Pi costs up to 1€/month in electricity to keep running as a server, while any used computer will cost quite a bit more. When suggesting old hardware for server use, make sure to consider the total cost, not just the cost of the hardware itself.
Dude reuses a private key all over the place and then throws a fit when someone gets it and takes his money. This is like wanting a lock company to give you money when you bought a new house, didn't change the locks, and the previous owner walked in and took the money from under your mattress.

Is that really still true? I've traveled in many poor counties where people live in shacks with no plumbing, yet still all have internet connected smartphones. Only in the most remote villages with no electricity or phone signal are people still truly disconnected.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply but I have already build e-commerce solution. Going to launch website within 15 days.
I was surprised at that as well. And there ended up not being a category that even fit the use case of a spam or phishing comment. I just chose the one that seemed to apply to spam or phishing code.
My introduction to the Internet as an immigrant back in 1996 was hugely thanks to accommodating librarians at the middle school I attended. Netscape on a 486 running Win 3.11 was not ideal, but it's also where I created my first website, a Simpsons fan site on Tripod (rip).

Imagine if forgetting your bank account password meant your account was unrecoverable.

Or if a bug in the bank’s software meant you could lose your life savings.

All these things and more can be found in the incredible world of crypto.
What is the underlying purpose of an open forum? Is it the openness itself, or something that openness allows? I think it’s the latter: allowing people with common interests who wouldn’t otherwise connect in real life to interact meaningfully.

If that’s the case, 100.00% open might not be optimal if 99.9% open yields better results for the resulting community.
"Kaplan was assigned to the case on Tuesday, after the original judge recused herself because her husband's law firm had advised FTX before its collapse."

I'm using discord a lot, I'm on around 20 servers. Most of them are in the 10-50 users range and they are for specific purpose (like playing D&D or computer games, remote working in a small team, talking with a group of friends). These won't be affected cause they are invite-only.

Then there are 1000+ users open servers - usually for developing some open source projects or talking about $RANDOM_HOBBY. These would definitely be affected if not for the requirement of giving your phone number to access discord.

You can imagine the problems that 1000 bots posting proceduraly generated bug reports could cause :)

Does the algo work? Is it better than the status quo and under what circumstances is it susceptible to failure? Does it know when the whole system is over-constrained?

If we assume the algo rocks (because you have operations research veterans), what stage of planning does your system address? What is the experience required and cost of manual intervention?

Fun problem. Human factors and edge cases abound. So much is at stake for a system that already works (to any predictable degree).

I'd love to hear more though.
Definitely true (not that should stop anyone, little projects like these are a great way to get exposed to other languages).

Free of defects is the least of the problems. Doing what a customer wants is the major one. One could argue that customers will be able to write their code alone but they'll always have something else to do and will pay somebody to do it, exactly as for all the other parts of their business. On the other side maybe one wouldn't have to know one of the current programming languages, much like we don't have to know machine code nowadays. English and a good dose of perseverance could be enough.

Indeed it is how blockchain works within crypto currencies. I find it interesting that many participators (i.e. OP) don't understand how unsafe their coins are and this has to be explained as such by the commentator. Admittedly, perhaps not everyone finds interest in the same things as me.
