You suggesting that I am a "troll" does not exculpate you from answering the question.

Your argument is that programmers should use less-convenient and more painful languages to save energy.

The argument that agriculture should be performed by unpaid peasants or slaves is exactly the same.

Edit: it doesn't actually matter if they are paid or not (although they generally weren't).

The history of human progress is pretty much defined by using energy to replace human scutwork.
A deviation from this that I've seen are apartment complexes near town centers, where kids rarely have to travel via car to visit friends, go to a park, go to a store, go to school, etc.
> It's more of the fact that all popular scientific libraries in python are written in an object-oriented way. That kind of forces you to write your own code in an OO way.

I'm not sure I see why. The object orientation in libraries like numpy or scipy is to provide the user with fast implementations of the kinds of mathematical objects they will need to do computations. But unless you are defining additional such objects in your own code, there's no reason why your own code needs to be object oriented. You can just write ordinary functional programs that use the mathematical objects the library provides.

For example, say you are doing matrix computations. You are of course going to use the matrix objects provided by the library; but your own code shouldn't need to define any new matrix objects. Your own code can just be straightforward computations using the existing matrix objects in the library.
If this seems like a project that this other company actually uses for anything important, you could start doing things like deleting random cloud resources, like compute instances, storage buckets, etc. (I guess it depends on what permissions they granted your account, though.) That'll definitely get their attention, since they seem to be ignoring your emails.

There's risk, though, whenever you do something that looks malicious: your account might get suspended. Also not sure if you could be legally liable for anything bad you do.

Whoa. People in the region have been incensed about the registrar's slow count. The NAACP has called for recounts in a very very tight mayoral election. And there's been some serious confusion about how ranked choice voting works. In every case, the registrar has operated as untouchable and perfect.

And somehow they got it so wrong a race was actually decided the wrong way in their original tally? Uh. What?
> Chrome and Firefox haven’t found the time to get P3 color working in five or six years?

The irony: Chrome and Firefox do support Display P3 on iOS because they use WebKit as their rendering engine. And yet Chrome doesn't support Display P3 on Android…
This feels wild because it basically boils down to Amazon repeatedly setting the situation on fire and then putting the fire out, to the cheers of the crowd. Why do they get credit for taking the steps needed to fix their erroneous ETA, then their mistake in routing the package?
That's a fine point. I guess I presuppose that a sexual interest in children includes an interest in violating another human's sovereignty. (Thus, all pedophilia is to the X-axis right of "violating consent" on the taboo scale on the chart... because it includes violating someone's consent and goes further than that in violating someone who can't consent).

But I mean, the mundane fact of wanting to have sex with someone you can't have sex with (for any number of reasons) doesn't mean you're going to rape them. Or woild ever want to rape them. Why? Because you want to have sex with them under the condition that they want to have sex with you. Consensual sex is the kind of sex you crave and want to have. Sex is, obviously, different and better if both parties consent to it, to you, because you're not a rapist.

So my contention is that potential rapists are the subset of men who aren't concerned with consent (not those who just desire someone they can't have). And pedophiles are a subset of that.

In other words, you're assuming that attraction means someone would rape; I'm saying that an abnormal and antisocial impulse to violate someone's rights is a prerequisite for most rape, not simply attraction.

RTK Query is an excellent package! Coming from the React Query world, I inherited an RTK Query project and was initially disappointed, but have come to prefer it over (the also excellent) React Query.
I'd also note (assuming the local news I saw had it right), that the changes also only require manufacturers to provide such "assemblies" if and only if they are manufactured in New York state after June 1, 2023.

The news may have it wrong, but that's an oddly specific claim to wrongly make, IMHO.

I'm also reading here that you can't leave the money into the bank account that is attached to the stripe account, because Stripe can get back the money from that account. They can automatically put funds in, then they can take them out.

So you need to sweep out accounts from both Stripe AND your bank account connected to Stripe.
> I really don’t understand the American obsession with voting machines, I believe there is always a manual count anyway and American election counting is extremely slow anyway.

American elections usually have a whole ton of races on them. I've usually got about ten elected officials to weigh in on, and then five issues to give a yes or no to (down since I moved out of California). That would make manual counting all the races a major pain. AFAIK, ballots are machine counted, a sample is taken and hand counted, and as long as the sample is consistent with the machine count, and the machine count isn't too close, that's that. Unless a candidate wants to pay for a hand count of their race. But each state has its own rules, and races are generally handled at the county level, so there's room for a lot of variation.

The slow parts of the counting is usually validating the ballots before opening them, which may not be legally allowed before election day and recently, many states allowing for ballots to arrive by mail after election day if they have a timely postmark (details about ballots that arrive by mail without a postmark vary, of course). Sometimes there's issues with transportation of ballots or polling places have to stay open for a long time for voters in line, and generally counting in a state won't begin until all polls are closed, which can be a coordination issue. Otherwise, counts are usually available night of, which is good enough for me? The certification process is slow, because it takes a lot of manual work (as discussed above).
I like Mathematica a lot, but a couple of issues limit its usefulness for me. First, I'm an experimental scientist, so a lot of programming is in the lab, automating experiments, running tests, etc. Makers of specialized software tend to choose their battles in terms of the application of their product, justifiably, but this means no single app is general purpose enough to serve me in the office, lab, and at home.

Second, unless an organization is enlightened enough to approve a site license, specialized software tends to create a "silo" of people who can use it, and forces it to be used in a centralized fashion. With Python, I can literally install my tools on every computer that I touch -- in the office, multiple labs, at home, etc. It makes it more likely that a tool will be woven into "how I think."

I can also share things and/or encourage others to try them out with minimal friction. Almost as easy as sharing an Excel spreadsheet within an organization that has purchased a site license. Free means free site license.

The friction of approving a license also discourages people from learning a tool by just giving it a try on some trivial project, or taking it home.

That's democracy. If you water down or prevent the democratic will through ANY means to empower the will of the minority over the majority for ANY reason, then you end up implementing the governance of an elite.

Minority rights of the people are a different matter - they would be guaranteed by the civil law governing human rights in a country - they dont have anything to do with the democratic will.

If the “certified” election results are potentially incorrect then people are right to lack faith in them. The problem is the lack of correctness, not the lack of faith.

I feel like I see this a lot, this concern about second-order effects over concern about the problem itself. It feels like a way to draw attention away from the thing itself. Like, if a member of some particular group does something bad we start worrying about hypothetical repercussions against that group so we don’t have to talk about the act.

This was my exact experience.

Chin straps don't work with me. My face shape is kinda flat, and my temporomandibular joint is kinda messed up and doesn't hold my teeth together naturally. The chin straps I've tried all pull my chin down towards the airway.

A mouth guard plus chin strap may work but yeah there's that front teeth holding up the whole chin pressure.

My internal customers at my current job like to DM me on Slack at all hours of day and night to ask me banal questions about their password or MFA device status. All of these have well documented answers I've sent them before, and have a general availability chat room I've sent them to, meant for them to be able to reach any of the members of my team who could assist them, and an entire ticketing system that could resolve their issue.

But no, they've decided it is my personal touch that is needed. Thankfully, I have a manager who is willing to stand behind me to ignore these customers who need me personally to hold their hand. I've been ignoring one of them for 3 months now. They still haven't reset their password the way they were told to the last two times they forgot it. They evidently don't need that account, since it's been inactive for 3 months and they're willing to wait to personally make it my problem.

There's classes of customer that really like to use their relationship to exert some power over their world and another human, whether it is remotely reasonable or not.
Fair enough, but you need some sort of data classification and usually that tool can also do protection and leak detection. This tool is focused on just the canary part, if you have documents that can just get copied on a usb drive or emailed and exposed to the public there are plenty of good solutions before you accept that as an inevitable reality and implement leak detection via canaries. Don't get me wrong though, I'm a believer in deception tech in general.

$20k of that, as called out by them is invoice debt. Aka they will are owed that amount but amount, they just have yet to get it from the distributor. Leaving them with the $216k number given.

Spec author here - I appreciate the points that a perfect solution may not be possible. Perhaps I'm a delusional optimist, but I still think it's worthwhile to draft a spec despite this.

The security landscape has a similar problem. If I want to buy a SaaS tool from you, it's prudent to check if you have good security practices before I buy. But how can I know if you are secure? What does it even mean to be secure?

ISO 27001 certification attempts to address this. To get certified, you present documentation about your management practices to an independent auditor and if you can prove you implement the required controls, you get the certificate.

Then when I ask you if you are secure, you can present me with your ISO 27k1 cert. It can be gamed, and it's not a guarantee that my data will be free from breaches, but it gives enough assurances that the distinction is still useful.

If the security folks can have nice toys why can't we AI people? :)

There are jobs in places like Nashville and Cleveland. And you can find a decent apartment for less than $2000/month.
I mean, housing markets have ensured that they will live at home for longer periods of time and may never be able to own, or even rent a place by themselves.

Same thing goes for starting families, the costs are insane and even if you have kids, you will barely see them in order to just pay for their childcare itself. Good luck if you can't afford health insurance and care, either.

The opportunities to do "adult things" are pricing out pretty much everyone except the adult children of high earners or the wealthy.

Fedora works very well. I used the instructions on https:///www.asus-linux.com and everything except the fingerprint reader works. I used a ThinkPad T14s AMD Gen 2 before this, and while I loved it, Lenovo is becoming increasingly difficult to order from.

Why do civilizations need to be built to the honor of something? I see plenty of art and architecture created independent of any mythical deity.

No, as this is at the granting org level - so the org owner may restrict it to their domain and anyone under it won't be able to assign privileges to an identity from a random domain, but that's not what this is about - If I own the org and project I can opt to not restrict the domains and invite anyone.

However IIRC Owner Role grants require email invite acceptance, just not sure if that's policy driven as well - https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/111843590?pli=1
Yes.

Blockchain-based OSS regularly gets negative comments here on HN, but they do implement such workarounds (personally I think xx Network is well-protected), as do non-blockchain based Open Source projects. The problem for the latter is no funding for devs and independent, decentralized infrastructure.
My sample of 1: I’m (45) dating a younger person (25). In some ways he’s much more mature than my friend group was at his age, but in many ways not. It’s been fascinating to see what his expectations are. His other friends are slightly older (late 20s/early 30s) and all of them still party and do shit me and my friend groups stopped by our junior/senior university years. They just seem to have different expectations of what life is supposed to be like.
It's also worth noting that although some restrictions are definitive (like the one to prevent changing the type of a variable after it has been defined), others, (like the one restricting the current use of `f-strings`) are merely due to the state of the implementation.
Same. I'm hanging out in Mexico taking lessons every day.
I think it’s interesting to observe that science is a fork of religion both in historical record and in substance, but with the “belief in something” removed. At its base is the same problem: nobody lives long enough to know what’s going on, so we write it down in a literary cannon of truth. Science’s entrance requirement is based on the scientific method (repeatable experimentation). Religions tend to have differing entrance requirements. Perhaps the most common (and useful to this convo) is the opposite of science: things I saw that break the pattern (miracles, disasters, etc….divine interventions) and which cannot be repeated.

If we do live in a simulation this is the only kind of evidence that could point to it… external signs that break the rules of the game. But by definition science cannot discover this kind of information.

Also religions have a knack for solving collective action problems through locally irrational beliefs (like karma). Science has trouble allowing these into a cannon. In the case of karma this is because it’s unscientific. It’s not enough to believe that karma would be good for society scientifically and thus we should believe in it. This doesn’t solve the prisoners dilemma. It’s only by (everyone) literally believing in karma that it can have its effect.

It’s things like this that science structurally struggles to contribute to society. Proving things outside the system (we’re in a simulation), consciousness, collective action, etc.

Not: It’s also worth noting that many of the greatest scientists and artists were religious. Hard to know where to give credit there.

> In my mind it kind of seems like the value as a public company was (at time of purchase, at least) $44 billion,

There was an offer at the price, which the board jumped at and the buyer had immediate remorse and tried to avoid until legally compelled; that rather suggests tbe sale price was a upper rather than lower bound on the actual FMV.

Yeah I had similar experiences with GCP support a couple of years ago when I discovered that killing a k8s cluster takes hours. My issue was technically related to billing since I was getting billed for GPU VMs the whole time, but their free support was completely useless. They probably exist only to meet some checkbox requirement for accepting credit card payments

“More greenhouse gases are emitted in the manufacture of EVs than by the drilling, refining, smelting, and assembly for gas-powered cars.”

It sounds true but no evidence was provided.

Example they could compare a Ford F150 and one of the new F150 electric models. If there is a difference, the percentage is also significant.

The life time environmental/economic costs extend far beyond manufacture. Which is all this is claiming anyway at the highest.
> More greenhouse gases are emitted in the manufacture of EVs than by the drilling, refining, smelting, and assembly for gas-powered cars.

To be flippant, no kidding, that isn't surprising. Maybe we can power our cars off the energy spent talking past eachother over EVs the past decade.

The design goal of an EV is less emissions at the tailpipe, and to eventually be propelled by renewable electricity depending on your local grid.

The benefits of that are cleaner city air, and eventually lower carbon emissions from the generation of the energy that propels them. A current downside to that is the minerals used to make the batteries are costly to get.

EVs are one option forward, hydrogen ICE might be cool too. Neither is perfect yet, but they both have promising futures to be more sustainable than petrol/diesel.

Mining itself is an industry currently undergoing more electrification, which will bring down the carbon emissions of mining those minerals. Hydrogen from renewable energy is also possible, it just isn't cost effective versus fossil fuel derrived hydrogen while we still externalize the impact of fossil fuels.
There were some own-goals, to be sure. But the reason I give them credit here is that they ultimately ate a $600 purchase and reimbursed me for a purchase from a competitor. We got the Tumi item for free, and then some.

That's better than just putting out a fire (that they started).
It's easy to see this behavior when it comes to the flood of gym memberships that coincide with the new year. Everyone simultaneously decides, "THIS is the year I finally get in shape!".

Right. Except by March all of these people are back to sitting on the couch. I'm sure if it were as measurable as gym memberships, we'd see the same thing happen with all resolutions.
Older generations had the incentives of getting to own a house, having a car, having a family, and having enough free time after work to enjoy these perks. Exploitative land lords, congested traffic or long commute times, and working late being a requirement for progression have extracted all the reward. Why do you think the stock market has bubbles so well recently? Boomers have gotten much better at extracting our wealth.
