I used to play MtG back in the early 90's, but got out because I needed money for college books, not cards.

My son got interested recently through some friends and I started looking about getting him into it around the time WotC released the $1000 old-school proxy packs. Needless to say, it turned me off.
LinkedIn is good for finding potential contacts. Message people who seem like software engineering managers and ask if they have internships. See where your classmates get roles and ask if there are some openings or if they can vouch for you. If there's a meetup, try going to one. Don't discount looking at company's websites either.

All but one job I've gotten was because I knew someone or someone knew me. The other one, I just applied through the company's website and they called me
The definition of execute is killing a legally condemned person. The cartels can kill someone execution-style.
Why do people repeat this corporate propaganda, against your own interests? Just think about it a little; it's nonsense in every aspect.
I used to live on a popular surfing beach in Australia. Every day people would see the surfers and think it was a good place to swim and get into trouble (In general, if you see surfers then it's a bad place to swim). Always swim near the lifeguard's tower and pay attention to the flags
I'm under the impression that in the USA copyright doesn't protect rule systems[1]. I imagine a clean rewrite of the SRD would be relatively straightforward. I expect it would take some lawyering to make sure it was done properly, but it clearly can be done.

I also know from people in the legal business that Hasbro is notoriously litigious. They will happily drag out a suit and make it as expensive as possible even when they don't really have a case.

My take is you should always just store any third-party data sources in your data warehouse, where you can then join it with all the other data. Having a feature like this just enables bad practices, and we'd rather be opinionated about how the data stack should look.

Since this is the "best practice" architecture, we've made the decision to focus on integrations with data warehouses specifically— Snowflake, BigQuery, etc. I don't think Chartbrew has these.
"Stuck in time" is a positive. Why should I pay attention to a writer who's constantly changing their mind and retracting their work?
The "IT director" was probably too busy going to zoom meetings, fighting fires, etc. to do those sorts of reviews. He should've delegated it to a lead dev, though.
I profusely apologise, I was incorrect.
A Mental Health App Tested ChatGPT on Its Users
Although I think you're right that they're mocking the OP, something similar saved my friend from serious injury/death.

He saw a car barreling towards him as he was walking on the street, instinctually jumped up, rolled over the windshield and roof and landed safely, albeit not on his feet.
> I don't think people care so much about a messy address bar as a messy chat/email message after pasting a URL.

But it's painful how few care about that!

I always clean them up before I send them (just manually - typically meaning all query parameters, e.g. with Amazon the text description after the actual ID) rarely even feel the need to check they still work, it's pretty easy, but maybe I shouldn't bother because it's only me that cares; they don't seem to notice that their links occupy half the screen and my don't!
Well let’s remember, after my initial experience with the police I didn’t even bother to return the call from the detective who “followed up”. Not having the cooperation of the victim is a guarantee nothing will come of it. Perversely it also probably reinforced the attitude the officers demonstrated - “Knew it, this guy was doing something shady and finally realized he doesn’t want to get in trouble”.

I feel bad that my inability to deal with this could contribute to it happening to someone else. But, certainly at that time, I just couldn’t bring myself to even talk about it.

Oddly, years later, I can talk about it on HN and think nothing of it. Occasionally my friends will have me tell the story to someone else and we’ll all laugh about it (occasionally to the horror of anyone hearing it for the first time).

It’s been a very strange experience.
> the ability to load environment variables from a `.env` file

make can do that too. Put

at the top of the Makefile. Works for me on GNU Make 3.81 on MacOS.
My response to this materialist argument is that it essentially goes full circle.

Once everyone has no responsibility, you are just left with what are they and what did they do. Did they act like monster, independent of the upstream causality?

I try to apply the same logic to myself when I get into a deterministic ego trip.

The question of if I can choose to go the gym today is irrelevant. The relevant question is do I think I am a dedicated person who will go to the gym today. If I am are kind, loving, and charitable to myself, I find that the answer is "Yes, S1artibartfast is the kind of hard working person who would go to the gym".
Could be. OTOH taste is subjective :-)
> You put a bid om a home and then try walk away usually means you get sued.

You might forfeit your earnest money, depending how the offer is written. But there are ways around that, and that's part of why some people advise having an attorney help write your offer. An attorney will include escape clauses that a realtor might not. Of course if there are too many escape clauses, your offer might get rejected, so it's a balancing act.

People back out of home deals all the time. For example, if the seller counter-offers your bid price, or asks for any other change in the offer, you can just drop the whole thing.
>There’s something very odd to me about the modern progressive position that, more or less, if you can explain a crime, then you can in some sense excuse it.

I'm not following here. Who, specifically, is claiming that those who commit crimes shouldn't be held accountable (prosecuted, incarcerated, etc.) for those crimes because they had a rough childhood/suffered abuse/etc? Please do name names.

As a mild example, just as being drunk is a reason for being obnoxious/nasty, it's not an excuse.

As a person who is somewhat to the left of what other Americans call "progressives," (who are center/leaning center-left), I don't think that understanding something makes everything okay or that crimes should be ignored because of negative stuff in the perpetrator's past. In fact, I've never heard anyone make such a claim.

Many folks (at least in the US, and I'm sure elsewhere too) have been abused by society and the legal system. And we should make every effort to combat that.

However, there absolutely are folks who should be removed from society, as they've shown they cannot live in a society without harming it and/or those within it. And those people should be kept apart from society -- for the protection of society.

>That description of his childhood works for me in sociological terms — let’s avoid stuff that we know to create monsters — but not on individual ones (i.e. the monster, having been created, is indeed a monster).

Seems like a good idea. But no one (AFAIK) is trying to "excuse" criminal behavior even as we try to understand the causes.
At the risk of sounding like a tesla fanboy, this seems crazy to me. NHTSA investing significant resources into 36 crashes over the past 6 years? This seems like an impossibly low number of crashes.

Intuition tells me there must be _many_ more crashes caused by various other manufacturing defects or various other issues caused by "scant oversight".
More like, gas is harder to get (Russia) so to keep profits and an appeased consumer, you redirect the issue and get them to switch themselves.
I mean I didn't say it was all of it, it's just another small part of it. Those are more important factors, yes, but minor issues by land area are more important if they especially affect urban areas. Parking minimums and setbacks are like that too.

> and public transit systems (when they are even present) that are very clearly built for the 'poors'

This one's funny because it's true, but the way you write it makes it sound disparaging - whereas if you said they were designed for "equity" then everyone would agree that's what it's for and that it's good.

Another way to say it is, American transit planners will happily make a project worse and take longer to build, as long as it reaches poorer communities first.
The trick was that over a large number of machines it becomes likely to happen.
I'd prefer "Binance processes $12B in withdrawals in under 60 days". It's newsworthy both because total assets invested in crypto is falling, and because Binance is still processing withdrawals successfully after over 15% of AUM were withdrawn.
This idea might be a bit too naive but it seems like it could help

1) Record the IP address and edge of connecting clients
2) Use an IP API to determine the rough location and ISP of clients based on their IP
3) Spatially query the edge closest to each client and graph/log serious mismatches (>x miles off)
4) Cast the spells required to route offending ISP better
5) See if the data improves :)

For example, the IAD edge would record that I connected from San Diego via Cox Communications. My closest edge geographically is LAX so that's ~2500 miles of excess travel!
Throwing my hat in for the cheap Mr. Coffee

It's probably my highest consumption of plastics per day based on it's "boil water in a cheap plastic container" design but it turns out if you buy simple things and use them simply they do tend to work for quite a while. I love my Roborock but I'm not going to freak out when it bites the dust in a couple years +/-

If you need to run tmux in git bash, this worked for me:

1. Installs msys2 (which includes pacman package manager) # can be done separately from your git installation

2. pacman -S tmux # install tmux to msys2 within msys2

3. Copy tmux.exe and msys-event-2-1-7*.dll from msys2 to C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin # may be a different version msys-event

4. Uninstall msys2! This was important to me because I found edge cases where msys2 did not honor directory links as "not msys files" and it borked things. YMMV
Compression is one of the closest things to real life magic I’m aware of. Especially now that people have basically compressed the entire internet into a couple gig AI models.

And then when I think about biology/genetics and what kind of unfathomably weird and convoluted compression is going on there, and then think about whatever it is our brain is doing… and then when I think about how like all of our perception is probably some kind of weird inescapable compressed representation of true reality…

It’s all magic. Real life magic.

Not the OP, but:

Oftentimes data teams have those data sources in the warehouse already (or a process for ETLing new ones in).

Copying data only once means lower costs (maybe) and fewer inconsistencies.

Plus if they’ve done work to join/clean/transform the data in the warehouse they can take advantage of that for product analytics without having to reinvent the wheel in ChartBrew or Mixpanel.
That's the problem, the market keeps thinking the Fed is bluffing.

This. 2 weeks (or whatever the legal minimum is) during probation, and 6 months at senior/management level in my org.
They usually state in the offer how and under what conditions they’re paid, and when they can be clawed back. Usually it’s a short period after your start date, but you still have to be working and have to continue working there for X days/months.
TBF, Malcolm Gladwell is more fiction that is "inspired by a true story". It's fun to read only if you aren't familiar with the subject. Otherwise, you just want to yell.

This has soured me on the genre of pop-nonfiction in general, because my trust is absolutely zero at this point (it's not like Gladwell is the only confabulist there) - and if I have to cross-reference every single fact, I might as well just skip to the bibliography section. If there is one.

That has, in fact, become my criterion for most non-fiction I buy directly (without reference/recommendation) - does it have a bibliography section. I recommend it, because at the very least it gives you a great shopping list for round two on the subject :)
Same! The fact that Make is pre-installed everywhere and you can create a consistent interface to tasks across projects is a big win.

It's not a bar. It's a process. Good authors + good editors are a great process to create good content. A single author + no editors is a significantly worse process.
Most things that are incredibly dangerous won't kill you individually. Something incredibly dangerous might kill 10%---one in ten.

Generally, it's so difficult to hire technical talent, that it would be very difficult to maintain a blacklist anyway. Basically, some companies would just break the blacklist, because there's a good source of talent, that some companies have decided to overlook for petty reasons.

The world is too busy and too chaotic to really care that you decided not to join a company or that a company decided to withdraw an offer. Life goes on.

You're paying people off to go away and leave you alone and not be your friend, in a way that doesn't make you look like a jerk like you would be if you just didn't loan them money?

The only way this makes sense to me, especially at that kind of money you're talking about, is if you are fairly wealthy.

And, man, to me what this says is that it's impossible to have real solid relationships with people if you are rich and they aren't. It makes me think of all these people who only are interested in you for your money, and your fear that people will think you're a jerk if you don't give them money (over and over again!) anyway because you have so much money, all these people approaching you with "sob stories." It seems like it makes it almost impossible to be real friends with people, if they aren't as wealthy as you.

I guess it's a reason to be glad I'm not that rich, after all.
It is a detector, as is the wall. But you still don't know the state of that detector until you observe it, so now the photon+detector system is itself in superposition as far as you're concerned.

(And if you observe it, but nobody else observes you, then you are in a superposition as far as the rest of the world is concerned.)
Thoughtful, well worth a read
Thanks. If pcie support in 6.3 pans out, that isn't long to wait at all.
It’s funny you say this, because it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. If you take the materialist position to its logical conclusion, then, in my view, instead of being exculpatory, you arrive back at an essentialist position.
I'm ruling it out because I don't consider it an acceptable level of polish (let alone ease) for any product I'd sell.
The thing about automation is that it is really hard to automate workflows completely while getting everything right. One approach I like is the "Pareto automation"[0]. Normally, you can automate the most fragile or tedious parts of a workflow with little effort and keep doing everything else manually. Also, sometimes you don't even need automation, you just need a checklist.

Funny how the replies are full of people explaining how bank deposits work. An exchange is not a bank. They're a custodian that holds something on the customer's behalf and facilitates trades. That crypto "exchanges" act like banks, but without any of the banking regulation we spent the last 100 years learning the hard way is why they keep failing.

My stock broker and the NYSE can't secretly sell my shares and loan out the proceeds. They just hold the stock.

That Crypto "exchanges" think of deposits as assets makes it clear they're more like a hedge fund than a bank or exchange.

Oh I wish it was easier to build these custom compression algorithms (or to help the existing ones). Whenever you know something about the file format, content, ranges of data, even sequence information...
I'd add that an insulated carafe is a big improvement over glass on a hot plate.
> The FSF also cannot change the rules of the license a posteriori.

GNU can and has changed the rules of one of their licenses. Specifically the GFDL 1.3 was released to allow all the wikis licensed under GFDL 1.1+/GFDL1.2+ to migrate to CC-BY-SA.

This is arguably a case of using the power for good, but fear of them using the power for bad is exactly why e.g. Linux is GPLv2-only rather than GPLv2-or-later
Play the odds.

I ride a motorcycle. (Well, I kinda used to. It's been a while.) I've been down a couple of times, but I wore the gear and didn't drink and ride, didn't speed, and didn't go out of my way to do stupid things. Those improve the odds a lot.

That won't save you, but it cuts down on how often you need to be saved.
As someone who uses neither Just nor Make, I'm trying to understand the value proposition.

From what I can tell, Just accomplishes what a set of scripts in a directory could also do, but in a more ergonomic fashion. Since the justfile is a single file, you're not cluttering up your directory. You don't have to look for all *.sh files, but can instead do a "just --list". And using "just target" is probably easier to type than "./target.sh" since the just version has no punctuation.

What are some of the other benefits of Just that makes it superior to "a set of scripts in a directory"?
Does GPT 3 have the ability to take in all the texts in a book as the input tokens in one setting?

Unless I’ve missed it, I think the author didn’t use the actual books as input, and instead, just the titles. So, being a language model, GPT probably based it’s own book reviews on existing book reviews of the same title.

My own experience with ChatGPT and books is that, much like its math abilities, it does not produce dependable answers with regard to the content of the book. It sometimes attributes things to different characters, gives wrong summaries of plots, etc.

Being a language model, it is really good at generating coherent answers that is in the style of what you are looking for, and it is a lot of fun to play with. But you shouldn’t rely on it for any task where veracity is important.
Developers will often do the cheapest thing they can, that doesn't necessarily lead to big differences in the end cost to buy but putting in copper to save a little on construction would be pointless overall given the changes that are happening.

More importantly I think this law forces right of access for installing fibre in various situations, which has been a stumbling block for doing the work in other cases. Just from a quick scan of the coverage though.
At least one company seems to have asked their lawyers to send a letter[0] to WoTC as discussed in this comment[1] on another HN thread here[2].

The wording giving them 10 days to respond to the questions seems to sound like it's heading towards something like what you suggested?

"I tried telling myself that it's a childish and idealistic way of thinking and that it's all a part of career progression regardless of where you work at..."

It's most definitely not! Many seem to think it is, because of perceived status ("how are you still a developer in your 40s?!"). Be whatever you want to be, not what your current boss wants you to be.
I take "locked on to the locations of at least 30,000 cell phones" as sensationalist embellishment, rather than any sort of technical description. The articles you linked are exactly what I'm talking about. It's abhorrent, but not illegal as there is currently no general privacy regulation. It's not wiretapping because it's not audio. It's not illegal interception or any other kind of tort because the subjects "agreed" to their telcos and app providers doing this when they signed up for their cell plans and installed apps.

It should be illegal. The US needs comprehensive privacy legislation akin to the GDPR, which crucially defines 'consent' in such a way that it cannot just be nullified by unilateral terms of service. Until then, surveillance companies will keep building totalitarian surveillance systems ripe for abuse by the government, politicians, and plain old commercial interests.
> you can't just pick out the bits from the 1900's that you liked, and then abandon the bits you think you dont like, independently of each other

Wait a second, sure you can. Why can't you? Your example isn't as good of an example as you think. The rest of the people in the world can hum along on their current trajectory if they want; what do I have to do with the production of those electronics in the hypothetical world? I don't have anything to do with it in the world we're actually in.
