"You feel it any time you interact with a customer service person. Restaurants, stores, especially any kind of "gig economy" service like getting food delivered. They hate serving you and hate their job."

Have you traveled widely within the United States (including 'boring areas')?

I've experienced this feeling in places like where I currently live, NYC, but don't feel it as much where I grew up in a boring suburb.

Not to say there aren't other problems. But I get nearly the same feeling of safety as I did in Europe or Asia.
I think the statement that "You'll enjoy the music a lot more by adding the physical movement to it" is unlikely to apply to everyone, and may not even apply to a majority of people. Not because humans don't have a natural inclination to "move to the beat" (they might), but because a dance club may be much more intimidating for many people than, say, a music circle.
Sorry to hear Candy Japan shut down. Can you share how profitable roblox games are?
Those comments always come off as extremely pretentious to me. There is not a single way to be “serious" and anybody telling otherwise just has a big ego...
Sorry, but no. Land sometimes appreciate in value. The homes built on the land nearly always depreciate in value.

And when land appreciates in value (aka by being near schools, hospitals, and well-paying jobs), we distribute the higher cost of the land among multiple homes by building taller, denser types of housing. This is presently illegal in much of the US however.
Self custody is hard. And even professionals can make mistakes.

Most people don't think about it: they have a bank holding their "balance", a broker "holding" their stocks, an employer "holding" their salary, and maybe even a crypto exchange "holding" their tokens - until they don't.

Only when you get into the nitty-gritty of self custody, you understand it's a security hassle: you need to save a seed for crypto, or boxes of gold ingots, or precious art in special climate-controlled packaging etc.

People traded this insecurity, this chance of losing it all in one unfortunate event, for the warm comforts of having someone else custody your assets. But ask Greek people in 2008 (or Lebanese people now) how does it feel to come to a bank where you've had an account until yesterday, and find out there's no money to go around.

We're starting to see some strides being made into simplifying and securing crypto custody (MPD, Multi-sig etc.). But at its core, if you want to truly hold your asset, you will need to keep ahold of something (safe key, seed phrase, physical item etc.).
The ESP32-S3 introduces vector instructions which are supported by TFLite already. See here - https://github.com/espressif/esp-nn#performance

S3 also supports Octal PSRAM vs the single lane SPI PSRAM found on the older ESP32-CAM style boards, should be 8x the bandwidth with all else equal. So far I've only seen the octal PSRAM's available on WROOM modules and it looks likes there only support for Espressif branded Octal PSRAM chips at this point.
"The accident happened at the site of a parked Embraer E175 for American Airlines flight 3408, operated by regional carrier Envoy Air. "

SparkSQL + delta lake definitely counts as an open source OLAP separated compute/storage.
I find this to be a bewildering opinion. I get that people are wired different, but I am surprised that you aren't capable of envisioning a situation where a huge percent of the world chooses to live in a city.

> The city is obsolete in the era of WFH

The first thing I did after negotiating WFH is to move to a dense neighborhood of NYC (soon).

> Demand for nicer living conditions

I am. I want to walk down to local markets & restaurants. I want to go anywhere in the city without exposing myself to the main cause of youth death (cars). When I am travel to another part of town, I'd rather absentmindedly read a book, than be stuck paying attention in bumper2bumper traffic.

I want 100s of activities, cuisines & communities to be at my disposal when I want to access them. I don't want to have to ferry my future children around everywhere. I would much prefer a big bustling park with trees like Boston Common or Central Park, than a lousy unsustainable private mound of grass.

I love fresh air & low noise pollution. I wonder what's causing them. Can't be the folks in cars commuting from their beautiful suburbs can it ? [1] [2] [3]

Why do people think that cities have to concrete jungles with no social life & huge amounts of crime. Cities (esp. NYC) are safer than almost everywhere in the US. Having friends & tons of activities nearby encourages social behavior and having parks be in shared spaces means that they continue to be well funded and environmentally sustainable means you can be a lot more ambitious about the kind of big trees and gardens that can have.

I'm an experienced engineer looking for frontend/js/React work—potentially just a very short-term contract, but would consider longer term employment with the right company.

I spent the early part of my career building products for early stage startups; for the last 7yrs I've almost exclusively built with web technologies (as an independent contractor+entrepreneur) and know the space well. I can learn whatever's needed, communicate well, get along with everyone, good balance of pragmatism and strong technical foundations. I have a long history with UX and product design.

For a good example of recent work (React/webpack/Electron/Typescript/Material-UI)—I spent ~10days building this: https://github.com/westoncb/generation-q

> a very arbitrary definition of NIMBY

NIMBY means not in my backyard. As in, I want the benefits of a thing but not its cost. Wanting affordable housing while denying development is NIMBY. Saying no development because you want higher property prices is not NIMBY, it's prohibitionism. (Depending on the environment, it could be reasonable and/or heartless.)

> been told by people who would know that one of Sydney's big problems is that property developers are able to artificially inflate property value by staggering the release of newly developed property onto the market

This is prudent pipeline management. Why would you bid up the cost of materials and labor only to dump the finished product at a loss?

On supply and demand: American house prices are elastic, but over long timelines [1]. In Sydney, dense housing is more elastic than detached housing [2]. The abundance of those historic terrace houses, together with long development approval times, cause the high prices and relative price inelasticity.

Digital sharecropping?

Any country or group of people is welcome to spin up their own data centers and content moderations teams to make their own YouTube.
If you think about programming as information transformation (ie: you are getting information in, applying a certain transformation and then giving some output), programming becomes about how this information flows. Data structure becomes the most important thing.

Here is an example that now frustrates me about JavaScript. I don't know if some variables "MyVal" declared somewhere is global, local or how transfer it around. Global variables no longer makes sense to me. In Rust, global variables are possible but they are obvious and their scope is completely within your control. Now, all the data is there and it's up to you how to structure it, move it around, store it, etc.. You have to think these through before doing any code. If you don't think well enough, the Rust compiler (borrow/ownership thing) will start to give you headaches.
Two essential rules by which to judge this headline and story:

1. Never take seriously as an indicator of any massively complex trend or long-term tendency any headline from a single paper or small selection of media outlets whose express mission is to desperately seek attention and hype up drama from any possible thing, no matter how tenuously related to anything wider.

2. Do not assume that one specific regional weather trend of a certain brief time's duration is an actual indicator of something bigger and more complex, especially if other contrary trends are happening at the same time elsewhere. (human effects on climate change are real, but media and uninformed people pointing to any specific individual weather event as proof of them are little better than someone who doesn't believe there's human caused global warming using a single cold winter where they live as proof of their own contrary argument.)
18th century technology in your jet engine?
That's not really true. Yeah, the term "FP" has been watered down but there was a proper definition: "FP is whene every expression of a program is referential transparent" and that's it. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referential_transparency)

In other words, this is not even a property of a programming language. It is a property of the code itself. It's just that some languages make it easy or impossible to build a program in that style - or they even enforce it. Haskell however has escape hatches. And Scala is considered an FP language because, unlike Javascript/Lisp/Clojure/ML/Rust/... it really allows and supports(!) to make the whole program referential transparent.
The other difference is that one takes 4 years and the other 3 months. That’s 16 times longer, so if you spent only 5 hours a week working on or thinking about programming, then that would be an equivalent amount of time. Which is not mention that sometimes things take a while to sink in.

He is leaving a lot of money on the table. Most youtubers make more money from sponsorships that from ad rev.
Formula 1 racing has lots and lots of wild, random things happening that totally change who wins vs who "deserves" to win. For example, a rookie driver might pop a tire and take out the race leader. These things happen all the time, and make the game more interesting rather than a completely predictable sure thing.
> Great then we should be able to provide food for everyone who needs it right?

as long as those people provide 'stuff' for other people in exchange. That has been the economic model that works.
Most SQL Analytical databases don't discourage joins (think BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, etc.) and all of them are columnstores. I think discouraging joins is something very specific to Clickhouse, Druid, Pinot and others that have very limited support for joins.
This is a good point, YouTube on my smart TVs is logged into my account, my kids are forever mangling my search history with Roblox, Minecraft, squishies & other random things kids are into. I'm sure Google / YT has no idea what type of ads to serve me!
Running for city council
Many SFH's here in Seattle are being torn down to build multiple 3 story town homes with no yards and rooftop decks (I live in one). They still go for a million, but there are plenty of people here with that purchasing power to buy them.

Still cheaper than a 2 bedroom apartment in Beijing.

This cannot be anything but a lie, right? I refuse to believe that there's no way they can't just view some sample emails and approve it manually if it's all above board. I definitely believe they simply do not care. But unable? No way.

I agree with this in totality. Preserving undeveloped wetlands is a way more important than preserving some boomers stake in a low density suburb.
I honestly donno a lot about the US and it’s “projects”, but my understanding is large blocks of units in the US or the west tend to be built and left to rot.

Other than Singapore are there any blocks of units that don’t get run down over time and left to rot? (Seriously question as I’m curious)

>Can you cite a tech company with more than 20 employees that uses voice changers in interviews?

No, I cannot. It seems that despite the big conversation about diversity in tech, people aren't very interested in practical solutions to reducing discrimination.

It comes down to the point I made about helping people vs ideological purification. Many people prefer the latter. This is the sort of left-wing extremism I referred to earlier.

To be honest, I think the main reason companies don't use voice changers is if they do, the ideological purifier types will go after them. Just in this thread you can see how upset you and DrewADesign got, after I suggested the idea.

>the idea that you can correct for ethnicity with a voice changer

If it can work for gender, why can't it work for race?
Just postgres your life
Sort of.

TOTP MFA is crap anyway because it has no passcode and it is so trivial to sync and it’s common for people to do so. So in scenarios where people close to you are a risk, or you’re dealing with other peoples data, it’s pretty weak control. It’s great for preventing spray attacks and mitigating some compromise scenarios.

It’s likely members of your household, friends, coworkers have access to shared devices or shared vaults in 1Password. That makes that type of MFA more like 1.5 factor vs 2 factor.
Sweet! I might have to work on upgrading us from 1.4 to 2.0

I’ve been starting and growing a live theater venue in San Francisco for the past couple years, taking a break from the tech world. It’s finally starting to build some good momentum and I’ve even got some paid employees now. This year I’m hoping to get it self-sustaining enough that I can leave it largely in the hands of capable management and start dabbling on the tech ideas I’ve been kicking around.

I’m especially excited about harnessing some of the recent advances in ML. There’s been a ton of exciting advances that haven’t been fully productized yet. And maybe ActivityPub has some cool things that could be built now that people are starting to actually get the value of federation. The last few years have been frustrating, with most of the smart tech builders I know wasting their time on crypto. But finally it seems like people’s eyes are clearing a bit. Lots of exciting times ahead.

But I’ve got to get the theater to a good enough spot first.
Here are two quotes from the same fellow

> I believe that the existence of protected classes means you do not enjoy the freedom of association you rightfully should

>> Employers (unless you work for the government) are not bound by the first amendment, and can fire you or penalize you for expression outside of the workplace.

> It seems like that is an oversight we should fix.

He believes that employers ought to be forbidden from using your out of work communications to make hiring and firing decisions but wants to scrap the prohibition on using your membership in a protected class to make that same decision.

You absolutely can't make a hiring decision on race. If Joe White and Joe Black apply for the same position you are required to evaluate all applicants and cannot turn down Mr White for his skin color any more than Mr Black. What you CAN do if I understand correctly is make targeted attemps to advertise to and invite people based on characteristics. You can for instance advertise in what is traditionally a woman targeted magazine in order to inspire more women to apply for instance.
Haha, nice. And same — maintaining focus is hard :)
You got scammed. Hopefully this scam is removed soon.
Sophisticated has a Greek root, like sophistry or Sophia, sophomoric, philosophy, etc., σοφος, meaning wise.

Looking it up, it seems like that Greek root acquired a few different meanings or connotations in Late Latin.
Cooperative housing where the tenants are the owners.
Savestate hacking used to be easier because everything in a savestate is uncompressed and raw. Tile graphics, level layouts, palettes, sprite mappings, etc.

To hack a ROM you need to know how to decompress the data, and then recompress your changes. A given game might use multiple compression formats.
Car-centric nations.

Canada and the US lead the way.
I'm not sure how much this matters, but Replica is already the name of a company: https://replicastudios.com
There are some excellent sequels to "The Goal", especially, "It's Not Luck," which goes on to take the theory into product and market design. It overlaps somewhat with Christensen's work on Jobs to do.

I've found lots of value in looking at all kinds of systems with this lens, though, like all things, it helps to not overdo it.
This appears to be the US? It’s not as easy in NZ/AU. While you can do it, the average joe would probably throw in the towel on the whole process.

Also the US still has states you can find good jobs in with houses that are still 200k. In the likes of NZ You have Auckland and wellington and prices that far exceed majority middle income workers.

The whole The Little|Seasoned|Reasoned Schemer plus its other variants The Little ML'er|Java|Prover|Typer are some of the most mind bending books that you will ever read ever. And it is not the just the end result. Reading these books well will teach you socratic method of teaching/learning, which is great in itself. And will help you teach yourself a wide variety of concepts.

Only real problem is many people struggle to adopt to that socratic approach and for somebody who is not into it will just not get it. Have seen this time and again, while I had my jaw on the floor reading them, some of my colleagues could barely progress beyond the first few pages. So they aren't exactly accessible to everyone.

Interested in building software that makes a meaningful impact on end users and a big impact on medicine?

We’re currently hiring for Engineering Manager (https://bit.ly/condor-tl-22) and Technical Lead Software Engineer (https://bit.ly/condor-em-22) roles at Condor.

We have more customer demand and we can currently support, recently raised a large seed round from top institutions, biotech hedge funds, and Big 4 leaders, and are growing our team of “good humans” and former founders from startups, big tech, Big 4, and other experiences.

We're looking for more product-leaning software engineers interested in tackling a big, hairy, complex business domain, value building "code that is easy to delete," and geek out about going "six levels down."

Condor is building a world where finance accelerates human progress in medicine.

Our mission is to help biotech finance teams save time, money, and lives by bringing more cutting-edge therapies to market, faster and more affordably.

We started Condor because we realized that the life-saving treatments needed by our loved ones were held back by billions of dollars in complicated, time-consuming, and inefficient financial processes, which consistently delay clinical trial deployment and growth.

More about us here (https://bit.ly/about-condor220801).

This document only briefly mentions interior mutability, which IMO, is one of the most important things to become productive in Rust.
You can use an encoder on the motor and count the rotations to slow down.

Limit switches can be used to maintain calibration, in case the encoder misses some pulses over time.
