I went into IT. A standard joke I used to say is that everyone who knows something about garden gnomes could go into IT. I knew nothing about garden gnomes (but learned myself C++ to [numerically] solve some nasty path integrals using object orientation) and easily adopted to the IT industry.

That Twillio doesn't protect you is bad. However, would a court agree you don't owe them the money? This recommendation seems like abuse of disputing a charge and will just get you banned from Twillio.

In my state, they just raised the "EV tax" on registration from $100 to $300.

I have mileage records, and even using today's gas tax rate, (which will cause an overestimate) I never paid more than $225 a year, and that was a year 30% above average, and with the lest efficient vehicle I've ever had. 2020 was $80, and if I scale for the mileage I had in a typical year, that comes to $144.

The state gov't came out saying that it was based on the average amount people pay, but the numbers they provided used MPG values so low and mileages so high, you'd think they came from a motorhome doing the coast-to-coast tour.
And if Starbucks closes a shop because of unionisation, can the employees reopen it as a co-op? I certainly think that should be possible, and encouraged.
Ooh, excited to see mention of Grist (I am a cofounder). Python code and structured data are a great combination, and are particularly good for AI. We did an experiment where AI was quite impressive in writing Python formulas in Grist based on simple prompts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33809111

I suppose it's similar to rows.com's ASK_OPENAI("write a spreadsheet formula that..."). Most impressive is that it knows relationships between tables, and can construct correct lookup formulas, and do useful things with their results.
Customers can do that anyway.
As a former iOS UIKit dev I actually prefer react native to SwiftUI. If we have to do this declaratively (and I have to re-learn how to do complex layouts) lets also make it platform independent and reusable with Web.

It feels like SwiftUI is being pushed down my throat and I have a strong aversion towards things like that.
I don't fully agree with the original article, but I appreciate that they've correctly pegged this as a US problem that other nations solved decades ago with a little touch of regulation to balance the needs of the people both when in and out of cars.

Meanwhile, Americans told themselves that a government regulating things was un-American, then invented jaywalking so they could make walking across a road illegal.

> In an attempt to avoid future lengthy elections, Gregory X introduced stringent rules with the 1274 promulgation of Ubi periculum. Cardinals were to be secluded in a closed area and not accorded individual rooms. No cardinal was allowed, unless ill, to be attended by more than two servants. Food was supplied through a window to avoid outside contact. After three days of the conclave, the cardinals were to receive only one dish a day; after another five days, they were to receive just bread and water. During the conclave, no cardinal was to receive any ecclesiastical revenue.

Yep, that might work.

I could probably design and deploy an HA system for way less. Maybe less than $200/month. It wouldn't be the most performant, but would be HA in three regions.

But it leads me back to my original statement - extreme requirements for uptime don't come out of nothing.

If you're in a location where IT related labor is extremely cheap - you're just going to have people keep one server up.

I know I used to do exactly that, because the server was more than my annual income. But that didn't last long. After the first 20 minute downtime, the budget for HA solution was allocated. But before a certain point downtime wasn't expensive.

Non-profits would probably be the only reasonable exception, where HA and low budgets could coincide. Otherwise - nah...
Honestly, it seems like trends for VCs cycle at around the same frequency as paradigms in most academic fields (on the order of around a decade). Unless the VC gets caught with their pants down right at the end of the transition, they'll probably turn a profit.

It is the same in the US, but there aren't always opportunities to learn the trades everywhere. I was friends with a welder who learned welding from the garage of an old dude who ran it as an informal school in her town. If she was few towns over, she might have missed out on that career option.

Even in this thread there are people contemplating switching to trades and asking how to even start.
They explained earlier in the article that root screens were larger, high-impact screens at the top level of the app. They even bolded "root screens" the first time it was used to highlight it as a key word.

It seemed pretty clear to me.
Memory safety is broken up into a bunch of different categories. It isn't just one feature.

Yes D uses the GC for lifetime issues currently, but it does not need it for doing bounds checking, escape analysis or preventing common issues surrounding pointers. All of which are very useful things to have with or without the GC.

Just those features alone would prevent some pretty big name issues that have cropped up in C code over the years.
OP: “A train can go hundreds of miles per hour faster”
Anyway I think this proves the limitations of this analogy.
I'm not even sure that all of the advice--with some nuance applied--is even bad today.

STEM is not a great term in general given how broad it is. The pure sciences as a career path for someone with just an undergrad degree have not been that great since I was in school which was a long time ago. Those degrees can be parlayed into other things that are connected to the degree--or not. Pre-med was the historical reason a lot of people majored in biology or chemistry.

Engineering broadly is not a bad degree to have even if you don't ultimately work in the area you majored in; I only did so for about three years.

Nursing was never near the level of doctors in terms of compensation. But it has been pretty much middle class pay at the cost of what, to me, would be difficult working conditions.

If someone's good with sitting in an office and developing some appropriate skills for that, I wouldn't necessarily recommend the trades. But, if someone doesn't like school, book learning, etc. it seems a pretty reasonable option.

And there are degrees of things. Trades also includes working for things like construction engineering firms. Have a friend who didn't go to college but has worked in various roles of this sort. (My one real mechanical engineering job wasn't all that different in many respects at the end of the day.)
That depends on the construction material used for the house..
> All processes (criminal justice or otherwise) have error rates - yet not all anecdotal stories are covered

Normally this is a correct take on AI criticism; how many car crashes do the news report versus a not-so-self-driving car? But with policing, at least in the US, the past 10 years has been a continuous cycle of reporting and discussion about traditional analog false positive errors in policing, which often correlate with race. Over the past 10 years, I don't think there is another sector of decision-making that has been subjected to as much scrutiny as analog policing in the US.
Is this a regional thing to buy without DRM? I just checked some books from my reading list and many have DRM. Just some examples if you could double check:

While I know/assume that it will be easy to remove the DRM, I do not want to install Adobe Digital Editions to download the books.

It is surprising that our VC based companies haven’t been hit with anti-dumping sanctions. I guess if there are enough extra steps…
You expect kids to not heed the advice of the adults around them? And when those kids grow up to be adults and realize that the advice they were given was all bullshit to suddenly not see the utter waste of time and energy into worthless goals put before them their entire lives?

What are you talking about?

The main responsibility of adults is to prepare the next generation. Realizing that failure is not being jaded, it's confronting reality about the failures of adults.
> Doesn’t D require a GC to achieve the safety guarantees that Rust provides without one

No. The paper covers this. The authors used D's fat pointers, scope, slices, @safe, and ownership/borrowing features to improve code safety.

It is trivial to turn off D's GC, and the authors did not use it in the project described in their paper.

> and many third-party libraries require this GC?

Yes, a lot of D libraries depend on GC, which means they wouldn't be available for use for kernel development.

The D compiler will error out if D code marked with the @nogc attribute depends on GC (or depends on code dependent on the GC), which makes going GCless easier.
You're spot on. At the end of the day there really isn't any bargaining with them. They either forcibly sell to deal with bills or they literally die with it.

"But you can make money look at all the money I made in the past" while you look at their last 3 sales years and it was abysmal because they started to slow down / retire themselves.
I think my goal would be "maximization of [responsible] production of useful things".

Constant job-hopping requires an employer who wants to hire you. If you're a "constant-job-hopper", you'll find few people who want to hire you.

NCs are not only a meaningful barrier to fair compensation, they also seem to be a barrier to the allocation of labor to more productive businesses that, by virtue of their productivity, can afford to pay higher compensation.
Oh wow! Thanks! That looks really cool.
As yes the "it's hard so why even bother" argument, tired.
> First we were told that we needed the college degree for a job. Any degree would do.

Something strange is happening here that I can't quite understand. Jokes about English majors asking if you want fries with that are way older than me and I first started college in 1999. Yes, I heard a persistent low rumbling of "go to college," but the idea that "any degree would do" is alien to me.

Of course I knew that some majors were more lucrative than others. Of course everybody else around me knew the same. Of course people my age at the time actively engaged in conversations about "what will you do with this degree when you're done?" Of course people who majored in less practical subjects thought about this (when they weren't actively trying to put it out of their mind).

A character (played by pre-hairplugs Jeremy Piven) in the movie PCU (released in 1994) ridicules a student for majoring in Sanskrit, saying, "You're majoring in a 5000 year-old dead language?" Everybody in the audience is supposed to get why that's funny.

And yet I keep hearing people say they had no idea that any of this was true. It strains credulity.

Frankly, people have been repeating this line about how they couldn't possibly have known all this for so long that kids in college today weren't even born yet when it started. Eventually people are going to have to admit that they did know (or should have).
Delta plans to offer free Wi-Fi starting Feb. 1
And indeed, that might be working as intended.

The Facebook / Twitter / TikTok "everyone under one tent" experiments may not reflect the best solution for what a social network should look like.
a) i seriously doubt your "most" claim about free disk space. Maybe "most privileged white folks in rich countries" but not "most people"

b) just because i HAVE 10Gb of free disk space doesn't mean i'm going to offer it up for archiving of random internet crap

c) if it was on my phone it'd cost money and now we're very actively ignoring just how expensive it is to be online in 3rd world countries if you're not a rich expat.

> My workplace has a private cloud with some 70PB of storage, plus tape, and tons of desktops and laptops.

Yes, my name is another anekdote. (I had a summer school in Krete, Greece; there were people from the Max Planck institute. And yes, I probably made an impression as the organisers used the spelling of my last name to write down the emailadresses of those from the PlanCk institute;-0.

> why there are so many colors in the example?

Identifiers, like process-names/pids/IPs, are semantically highlighted by default to make it easier to visually match up values that are the same. And, it's this way because I like it this way, so that's the default.

> For example the http 403/404 is red but it does not stand out.

To me, the red stands out. But, I would also have a much wider window, so the red would stand out even more with the rest of the text.

Of course, lnav is pretty customizable at this point, so you can adjust it to your liking. The theme can be changed to something less colorful and the log format definitions can be patched to change their behavior.

No it isn't. You cherry-picked that single report, which was based on 76 turbotax returns.

The point is that if you have a problem with "number sentences," Common Core isn't to blame.
D has attributes @safe and @nogc. You can use @nogc to ensure that your code isn't calling the GC, and (though there are apparently a small number of holes in it) you can use @safe to ensure that your code is memory safe. Of course, if you limit yourself to @safe @nogc code, then you might have some difficulty with the standard library (as well as third-party libraries). There are things that the compiler can statically confirm are safe in Rust, that a D compiler is not yet able to match (there is some work on @live to enable somewhat similar features).

FCC suggests licensing 5GHz spectrum to drone operators
These numbers are usually not premium in the 1-900 sense of the word. It's more like they are international numbers and there are various intermediaries who work with mobile/landline operators in a bunch of countries to set up these kind of numbers and split the revenue from incoming calls/texts if they can deliver lots of minutes to them. One way of doing so is by getting a bunch of 2fa texts sent.

How many paying patients are they turning away on account of this supposed shortage?

There isn't a national nurse shortage. Nurses are being overworked. And in some regions, there are shortages, though that's out of an inability to pay traveling nurse rates.

Right, but because of one-ways the fastest route for me walking is half a mile shorter than on a bicycle. It's the compactness that appeals to me.

No, it's more like they don't think the current price was worth renewing on HBO Max and could use that money for other content. But they'd be willing to license it to someone else (probably less than what HBO Max was paying, but that's still weirdly a win) if possible.

Under AT&T, the whole idea was to keep basically everything created or owned by Warner Bros. under the HBO Max brand, no matter how much more they could be making if they licensed Friends or Big Bang Theory or whatever to Netflix or Disney or Apple or whoever. Because they saw that as an incentive to get subscribers.

Now that subscriber growth has largely flattened (at least in the US), they are rethinking that idea for properties that don't bring them a lot of subscribers or that don't have a lot of views.

Other streamers probably have zero interest in picking most of this stuff up because they have all gone all-in on producing all of their content in-house and have their own budget struggles, but they could do international licensing or license to FAST (free ad supported streaming television) services in a roll-up. Or they could just not have the content on streaming if they are going to have to pay for it. Vault it up. Which is a real shame, of course, but this is why some of us have continued to buy physical media or iTunes downloads.
