It disappoints me that americans are seemingly so ambivalent to this particular government overreach. The same thing appears to be playing out with drones now as well.
I'm not sure how clear Strachey's definition can be, considering he never provided one. But his description of ALGOL procedures as second-class mentions that they can "never be represented by a variable or expression":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-class_citizen#History

In Ruby you can assign a function to a variable, pass it to a function as a parameter, return it as the result of a function, and test two function objects for equality. Ruby has first-class functions. If it didn't, you would easily be able to provide an example of a program using first-class functions that cannot be represented in Ruby.
Yeah same here. My dryer stopped working. Had someone come out and tell me the heating element and thermostat needed replacing. $275 for the part, $250 for the labor. That’s a $525 for a $650 dryer. Not worth it. I bought a complete heating element and thermostat kit on Amazon for $29. After a few YouTube videos and about an hour and a half, I had it fixed.
You’re focusing on the specific numbers in the example, but missing the point. Imagine the salary difference is larger.

Basically, you have one company that has already paid $250K recruiting the doc and another company that paid close to $0. So if it comes to a bidding war over salary, the former company will always be at a financial disadvantage. And budgets always have limits.
Solo basketball shoot around at the local rec center while no one else is there, four laps around the indoor track, squats with a low amount of weight, home by the time a podcast has finished. I take a long walk on off days.
And to top it off, disabling auto recharge doesn't prevent Twilio from charging your account. They won't charge your card but they won't stop processing requests when your balance reaches 0. We were just hit with toll fraud and even though auto recharge was disabled, they continued processing requests until our balance reached NEGATIVE 4,000 USD and then suspended the account. We received to emails in total:

1. Your balance is running low at -65 USD

2. (30 seconds later) your account is suspended, I checked the account an hour later when I saw this email and the balance was -4,000 USD

I asked support why they continued charging our account even with auto recharge disabled, but they just ignore the question.

Support says it's our fault, asks us not to dispute the charge (although there has been no charge yet as we disabled auto recharge), and said it will take 10 days for finance to issue a partial refund (that was 24 days ago).
Imagine the aching shoulders people will get :D.

We need real life contact, not digital contact for god's sake. This is just another oppression device.
Hey, I appreciate that you're trying to be helpful - but a service business doesn't produce the return on time investment I want. It's kind of like recommending I buy franchises near an airport. i.e. super time intensive, but can be very rewarding in the right conditions!

I used to run a WordPress services business before SquareSpace/Wix commoditized the space.

If your wife decides to start an IT consulting company, tell her to shoot me an email.
People already do that. But if you think a sizable proportion of the population will do that, you are mistaken.
A few people claim photographic memory and say they can remember everything exactly as seen but I don't think it has ever been proven.

I've heard of actors than can memorize what they read almost immediately but they actively want to memorize the text. It does not happen automatically.

I like most people remember the jest of what I read or hear. Every once in a while I remember text verbatim. It usually has to do with how impactful the passage is so I tend to remember it. It's never very long.

Remembering everything sounds good but that means you'll have to remember both the good and the bad. Imagine remembering all your bad experiences forever. It does not sound that good.
Yeah but I'm glad they are trying new things. If it isn't better, then revert.
I'd guess they're shooting for a higher performance process & that it just doesnt work very well for the analog/rf design a wifi chip might use. Or they're just not experienced yet adapting tbese smaller nodes.

I'd love to know what kind of nodes various bits of wifi hardware so use. And what nodes existing (all wireless capable) Espressif chips are on.
How much do they get paid?
I wonder if that’s the predecessor to the CA99. I played that in a showroom and the Grand Feel III action is fantastic. I’m just not sure if I want to pay like 2-3x over what a portable digital piano would cost.
AI-as-extreme-compression seems like a subfield with a lot of fascinating applications. Kinda like how MP3 used a perceptual model to define what sounds were least important, AI compression could have a conceptual model of what features were least important
True, electrical and plumbing can be exceptions to the rule. They're also the two areas I've never had any trouble getting help with small jobs, so maybe that's why. But most any construction-related work, I've had to learn to be comfortable with a handyman for all such jobs.
Yeah, I don’t get most of these plug-in companies. They require an internet connection to work. I love using software synths, but knowing that any time from next week to next decade I won’t be able to reproduce the sounds I’m using to record my songs scares the hell out of me. With a hardware synth, I can at least have the ability to back up the sounds and buy another instrument if the current one dies. I can literally use the same sounds I made in the 80s on many different synths (Rolands, Yamahas, etc.). That’s worth a lot to me.
I expected to hate this and walked away thinking it was a pretty ok idea. Good job!

The idea of curating alternate services together and offering it as a product feels novel - does anyone else do this?

I'd love to see hosting offered for curated open source services that are interoperable. Sort of like all those WordPress hosts of yore (and today!).

Edit: omg.lol, is it AOL?? :D

Edit 2: The price is even the same! $19.95 vs $20
I look forward to their removal of the anti-theft display cases pictured in the article.

Tracking down the store employee just to get an item that is locked up is very inconvenient.
There really isn't any practical non-hobbyist use, just a community built around being a user in an old-school multiuser remote computer and basic web services.
> I guess so? They are also very easy to dispose of

I take it you didn't read the article nor watch the video in the source. It took a full day's effort of several state workers to hike up, remove, and safely bring all that crap down in unsafe winter conditions.
May as well really be fair. If the employee isn't allowed to work in that industry for 2 years, neither is the company. They'll just have to find some other source of revenue and retool their business for a couple years.
Correct, more unhealthy and old people died of COVID.

More drunk people are involved in car accidents than sober. Yet I still put on my seatbelt.

I feel like recognizing crypto giving it some sort of official provenance from the real world (fed, sec, irs, FINRA) is a net harm. Certainly genisis/Gemini/miners/etc would benefit but I think this ill placed legitimacy will just end up bilking end users. I recommend against. I def agree with parent,: buyer beware. There's no guarantees; not insured, and no recourse for the most part if you are hacked
I've been a happy omg.lol subscriber for years, originally as a fun little joke but it's actually pretty useful and I use my profile as my "link in bio" for twitter and other social sites.

The founder, Adam, is a genuinely good dude. He just keeps adding more features and the service gets better and better.
I see people bring scooters on the train. The issue is people have these huge hulking scooters that they refuse to fold up (not the kind bird uses these things look like they are 50 lbs), so they are standing there holding the handles while 3ish feet of scooter is sitting behind them taking up valuable floor space on the train. Plus it only works with a few people on board, if the entire train of people each had a scooter we'd have to redesign our stations to be way longer to fit the longer trains needed to accomodate all the wasted space. Bikes are the same way on the train honestly: great if you are the only one with a bike, clumsy if you aren't.

My skateboard on the other hand, I just stick it in between my legs and its like its not there.
I’m not extremely concerned with sound quality, both because I intend to play around with lots of VSTs and because I‘ll be upgrading from a Roland RD-700SX which has served me incredibly well but which is very outdated when it comes to the sound engine!
Depends on where you drive. I live in SE PA. Roads here tend to be winding, even in the suburbs. Like "slow down to 20 mph so you don't slide off the road" winding. Never mind going into Philly with its weird intersections and tight turns.

Maybe 5% of your driving it's worse, it would be more like 70% of mine. I don't need to see the entire dashboard, I can get all the info I need just fine through the wheel, which adjusts. Also, cars with HUDs are a thing if you go for top level trims.

But when muscle memory matters, I want a wheel to grab. One double-take because the yoke isn't where my instincts expect could be one too many, it's like taking the shoulder-harness off your seat belt so that you look better while driving. Just serves no good purpose beyond vanity.
I have a Model S Plaid and they do have haptic feedback when you press them, but the problem is they require muscle memory to know the exact place to press to get left/right turn signal or horn.

I'm 6'1" and the horn is particularly problematic because it requires stretching your right thumb an uncomfortable amount to hit it. It reminds me of using a very large smartphone and trying to use your thumb to reach a tap point at the top of the screen. Terrible UX. There have been several times I've needed to honk at someone quickly and been unable to hit the right button.

The other issue with the yoke is that it still requires the same amount of turns as a normal wheel, so 3 point turns and U turns become more challenging. I've adapted, but you also have to use the touchscreen to select forward/reverse, so 3 point turns are like this:
- Turn the wheel hard left (hand over hand but you have to grab only the sides)
- Brake, then slide reverse on the touchscreen (taking your eyes off the road)
- Turn the wheel hard right (hand over hand again)
- Brake, then slide forward on the touchscreen (taking your eyes off the road again)
- accelerate out of the turn while straightening the wheel

I"m a pretty capable driver but this is way harder than it should be and I can't imagine my wife or many "normal" drivers being able to manage all of this, while taking their eyes off the road, and not causing an accident.

Tesla makes great cars, but it's amazing that NHTSA hasn't recalled the yoke yet...
Knew about svelvet for some time now and i finally tried using it just yesterday to create a collaborative mindmapping section in my project. Was very easy to set it up! Is there an event system we can listen to when a change is made? Like on:nodemoved (similar to fabricjs etc). I couldn't find it in docs or anywhere else. Or am I wrong in using svelvet for this purpose?
> your competitors are offering cheaper, faster jobs why would they pick you?

Quality and availability. Fewer better paid jobs in the pipeline means they can decide to pay extra for less waiting and a not-rushed job.
I use virtual cards generated on privacy.com for streaming services. You can set the limit based on how many months you want to pay for, and not worry about forgetting to cancel.
Would the USD and by extension the USA even be possible (in their current powerful form) without SA creating a world wide artificial demand for the USD by selling oil denoted in USD?

Isn't that the essence of why Saudi Arabia gets to do whatever they want without the world police interfering?
Good on Netflix. And good for the engineer who lands that role.

Hard working Engineers- 1.

California virtue signaling bureaucrats - 0.
Currently we run "tsc" to "compile" the code and tell us about type errors. "This method passes as string to something that expects a number" etc.

In a world where JS has type notation, we'd need a similar command that could analyze the code without running it.
Isn’t it inevitable that conventional RAM will continue to get larger and faster as well?
It may feel better at the time but repetitive motions in most physical jobs will eventually catch up with your body. In an office job you can exercise on your own terms and without long term chronic pain.
You made me smirk with the combination of "I'm super ignorant on physics" and "I'm quite sure that there would be a viable way to engineer an airship in such a way" (:
The price is a big barrier though. An electric scooter is $1000 less.
I've always thought of them as a maker of reliable workhorse stuff. The MIDI keyboard I have from them has been rock solid and it's outlasted at least two others.
SDF also has paid memberships. I've had one for a while.

FWIW I paid about $100 an outlet recently (as part of a much larger project). Yes you can get 99 cent receptacles at Home Depot, yes they will be crap (residential grade) and likely not up to code. NEC requires all circuits in the kitchen and bathroom be GFCI protected, and all kitchen outlets to also be tamper resistant. A GFCI, non-TR receptacle costs bout $15 at Home Depot, and again you're talking bargain basement units that a professional electrician may not want to install for risk of having to eat the cost of a return visit. Commercial and hospital grade outlets both cost more ($30+, $50+ respectively for tamper resistant GFCI). The outlets with USB A+C ports start at around $60 per.

In some jurisdictions you may be able to get away with one GFCI outlet per circuit, but then you're paying for their time to map out which circuits are which.
I believe the Nord Grand uses Kawai’s Responsive Hammer III action, which is also on the much cheaper (and excellent!) Kawai ES920 portable digital piano.

One issue with this is that many ML tasks are more memory bandwidth bound than compute bound. A forward pass through a neural network is a bunch of simple operations on gigabytes of data, whereas with protein folding there's a much higher ratio of compute to data.
But Youtube controls how much they pay creators to a much greater extent than Netflix does.

Netflix commissions shows, and they have to have hits to drive subscriptions.

Youtube pays a percentage of the ads shown on each channel, which scales directly with the popularity. As the channel becomes more popular the creator gets paid more, but Google makes more money because the advertisers pay by views too.

Netflix doesn't have that property.
If they won't let you use a manual scooter I doubt they'd let you use these. The issue is probably that someone would suddenly round a corner and you'd tackle them going at running speed.
I’ve also seen plenty of career helpers, but they’re almost always screw-ups, unambitious, or both. After all half of the population is sub 100 IQ, and some otherwise smart people just like slamming beers, chasing tail, and showing up hungover every shift more then getting promoted.

Making journeyman in most trades around here means a comfortable middle class salary, sending you kids to the less expensive private schools, a boat if you save up. Beats what you’d make being a teacher, social worker, or librarian.
Yeah but with the wheel you can grip it loosely and let it slide through your fingers whenever you want. With the yoke you'll be forced to constantly let go and grab it again to silence the nagging.
I'm skeptical there's a single C compiler out there that makes the first two behave as expected but not the third. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the real oversight is that the standard meant to say all three, or that the authors thought it implied.
Having no previous knowledge or awareness of the author or the story of Abramelin the Mage (besides a hasty skim of the Wikipedia page): your summary of the plot does not seem as disuasive (or persuasive fwiw) as you make it out to be.

So many fictional plots can be reduced to absurdity by such descriptions.
Only on HN would this be so highly upvoted. Most electricians and plumbers are doing commercial work or residential construction. The plumbers and electricians doing house calls are a tiny portion of their business. And before YouTube university people were just as handy and could figure it out by going down to the local hardware store and talking to someone rather than ordering it on Amazon and watching a YouTube video.
Wow, I hope you’re having a blast with that piano, I’m jealous! I have been intensely lurking on the Piano World for a while now. :)
Not to mention RSI, eye problems, and other issues from performance-enhancing drugs lots of tech workers take to stay focused
You aren't even supposed to skateboard in the rain because you could corrode the bearings.
Not Tesla's. They have a camera but it still requires wheel movement very frequently. Though Elon did say they'll remove that, who knows.
Wait, drones as in bzzzzzzzzzzz?

I've worked on low data rate projects that would be a good fit for the Helium network.

Biggest issue was uncertainty about the future of the network. The only reason people were interested in running nodes was to collect payouts, denominated in the Helium token. If the Helium token price crashes (as it has), the network will stop expanding at best and start shrinking at worst.

Meanwhile, regular cellular data contracts dropped to relatively low prices for low data applications. When retail pricing starts at $1/month, you can imagine how cheap we're getting contracts for 10,000 devices locked in over multi-year contracts.

Also, the Helium founders seem to have realized they squeezed everything they can out of their first project, so they switched their attention to a new 5G project to try to repeat their token-fueled success once more before crypto speculation ran out of steam. They didn't quite make it.
To be clear, the $50 was labor only.
Valve doesn't want the Linux desktop to become mainstream. They want a viable Linux gaming ecosystem. That's a different task than ensuring that Linux is a viable alternative to Windows for the millions of HP/Dell/Lenovo laptops that people buy each year. As for what's wrong with Gnome pursuing "the masses", I'd have far less animosity towards Gnome if they pursued the masses without actively spitting on their existing users. However, they seem incapable of doing that.
You could have three electric scooters for that money and rotate them out in the mail truck as you tap out the battery on each.
The situations are different enough that people today couldn't and shouldn't expect the same kind of government and I don't think it's worth nitpicking the details because they're not germane to the central idea.

Personally, I think the general idea stands.
Not who you are responding to, but I have a tall sitting height and I suspect that the steering wheel is too low. Consider this diagram of a properly adjusted steering wheel (instrumentation is where the "II" is):

/----\
/ II \
|------|
\ /
\----/

If you are tall what can happen is:

/-II-\
/ \
|------|
\ /
\----/

A telescoping steering wheel helps quite a bit because you can adjust your seat back/forth more to get a good angle, but in cars without telescoping steering wheels, I have the second sight-picture at any position in which it is comfortable to hold the steering wheel.

If you are suggesting:

II
/----\
/ \
|------|
\ /
\----/

then this will render the airbags ineffective.

A bit off topic, but I’d love to see something like Wikipedia references added to YouTube in some way. Being able to cite something at a point of video would be awsome. Sounds like it might be sorta impossible tho
WHAT? Facepalm.
Everytime I read something new about the yoke, I m amazed how incompetent the people are, that put that in a car.
“without affecting cognitive performances” - does that mean calorie restriction makes brain even more efficient by pruning unneeded parts?
yet another reason to avoid using SMS to verify users. It's a very poor method that's subject to spoofing and even account takeovers
Which will also cause an array-bounds error. So you're covered!
Can’t say this was the source but it harkens back to DEC BASIC-PLUS on the PDP.

It has the concept, I think, of “statement modifiers”.

You could do things like:

S=S+A[I] IF A[I]>5 FOR I=1 TO N

It always read really well.
Not worried about flu vaccines because they’ve been around forever. MRNA vaccines are relatively new and weren’t observed for long term side effects like other vaccines.

Johns Hopkins to me is part of the same machine making anyone who doesn’t get a vaccine an outcast. I would trust them about as much as the CCP regarding COVID’s origins.
tsc does that, but yes, you'd still have to run tsc which was part of my original point
IDK, I got the impression that while RAM was getting larger and higher-throughput, that was coming at the cost of higher latency.

I think I've commented on this in the past here. Once you accept non-lossless compression, there's always a trade-off between compression efficiency and fidelity to the original. We're not yet to the point where ET can be compressed as, "a movie about an innocent alien stranded on Earth who gets help from some kids to contact his people for rescue," but we're not too far away from it, either.
Same here. Love the song, checked what it was about and discovered the guy. He seems like a true weirdo though.
It sounds like you are past crisis stage and into survival stage. I have been in crisis stage a couple times but never survival stage.

1. Get a job- ANY job, any pay. If there is a job, apply. Get some stability. We are going into a hard economic time and the longer you wait the harder it will be. If you can get a retail job you might get bonus networking opportunities.
2. Look for a recent law school grad who passed the bar and is trying to get up and running. They often take cases pro-bono and can help keep you out of jail. A lawyer friend of mine used to hang out at a library looking for clients.
3. Your landlord sounds accommodating, leverage their help and square up once you have income. They could be your only lifeline at the moment so preserve that relationship at all costs.
4. Try to get into one of those entry level tech consultanting companies. You will be a star there.
You simply must keep your accommodations and take any crap job you can or it could quickly become impossible to recover.
I’m sorry that I am not in a position to help more. Good luck and now is the time to soldier on.
