The best place to look for someone is in your personal network, ask around among your friends and colleagues if they know anyone with an Industrial Design or Mechanical Engineering background. You are sure to find someone, there are more of us about than you think, take them out for a beer and have a chat about the idea.

A word of advice though, be upfront with the idea, don't try and suggest meeting up without disclosing the idea beforehand. Just as software developers are used to people pitched them their app idea, product designers are used to having people pitch them ideas too!

Failing that, there are a lot of "Product Design Engineering" firms/consultancies that do this every day, I used to work for one (I'm a former Product Design Engineer, now Software Developer). Most of these firms are multi-disciplinary, they have Industrial Designers, Mechanical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Software Developers all in house. They also tend to have a network of other disciplines that will regularly work with (optical designers or material specialists for example). They will be happy to give you and hour of their time to hear about the idea. But be aware, going that route will not be cheap once you move past an initial consultation.

It is exceedingly abnormal to come to a complete stop in the far left lane.
This is assuming the user is only taking the correct amount. Even completely clean/pure drugs, when taken in too high of a quantity, (the definition of "over dose") can be lethal. So it's not simply about tainting.

The Tesla looks like it slowed down 200+ feet over 4 seconds. That's far from slamming on the brakes. It's also, however, very far from expected behavior which could explain why the drivers behind didn't slow down enough in time. They weren't expecting the Tesla to come to a complete stop. I'd guess if the other car was a Tesla it probably would have stopped in time to prevent the collision because it's basing its decisions on the environment not based on prior experience driving in that particular spot.

I'd also argue that the Tesla pulling over into the left lane (merge 1 lane left vs 3 lanes to the right) is the right behavior in a situation that warrants stopping. Try to get to the side of the road so other cars can pass.
There's some truth. My friend's parents don't live in desirable areas (to white collar workers) and in older housing. It is not rundown or anything, but it is an insular immigrant community. There's a reason almost none of their first generation kids stay in that area.

But they live comfortably — at least the people I talk to go on vacation often, were able to help my friend with student loans, have cars in NYC, etc.

What kind of password manager doesn't?

The whole point of a password manager browser extension is to autofill usernames in username boxes, and autofill passwords into password boxes. Obviously a password is never put in a box where it would be visible, it's always a masked one.

And obviously it only does it if the domain matches.

I probably log into 10-15 sites a day on average. I sure as heck don't want to have to be manually searching my password manager, and copying a username, pasting a username, copying a password, and pasting a password each time. That would be literally minutes a day of totally wasted time for no reason.
Serious question (I don't know the answer and I'm not giving OpenAI my personal info to sign up):

What does ChatGPT say if you ask open ended questions like "Did the Jews deserve the Holocaust?" or "Who secretly controls the world?"

Previous attempts at AI have had ... troublesome ... answers to these types of questions and thus spurred "censorship" of the AI's output.

I'm sorry, but this is an 8 vehicle pile up from people following too close (or paying too little attention). At least where I'm from if you run into the back of a car it's your fault. It means you followed too close, failed to react to a situation in front of you.

Should the car have stopped there, no?

But is it that car's fault that others ran into the back of it? No.

> And what rent-controlled units exist, have huge waiting lists.

It's worse than you're describing.

Rent-controlled apartments have no waiting lists, because rent control is all but phased out. It only exists for a very small number of apartments that have been occupied continuously since the 1971 by the same person or lawful successors (e.g., spouse).

Rent-stabilized apartments are very hard to come by. Not only are they incredibly competitive, but they often require massive broker fees (NYC is one of the few markets where renters are expected to pay the fee for the broker hired by the landlord). So even if you're lucky enough to score a $1000/month rent-stabilized apartment, you may have to pay a broker's fee of $5000 or more[0], on top of the first and last month rent.

[0] this is not an exaggeration; the market has exploded in the last year, and broker's fees are unbelievable compared to even a few years ago

The separating into 3 B&W negatives of the RGB separations was (is?) still a thing. In 2012, I was involved in film restoration projects that used laser recorders to take the processed digital files to 35mm B&W negative. The fun begins on trying to restore from one of the archives. Film shrinks and at different rates depending on how they are stored. So scanning each of the R+G+B negatives is one things, but getting them stacked and aligned taking into account the distortion distinct to each frame x3 is just glorious!!
This is a big problem in New Orleans, where short term rentals require a license. The hosts don't have that license so to keep the city from finding them they show a different unit and pull this switch.

This is just fitting the data to your assumption. It's like saying humans just get in the car and use their eyes to drive. While it might be objectively true to an extent, it is so misleading in what it falls to account for, which is actually relevant, that it's basically a useless statement.

It's a cool project, thanks for sharing. graphic-walker focuses more on a Grammar of Graphics based graphic system, not a chart-based system.

But for performance in the browser, I am also researching ways to handle large datasets in the browser, such as duckdb-wasm.

Another project I am working on, called RATH is facing more challenging performance issues because it is designed to automate the exploration of data to find insights and causal relations by machine. It currently is using web worker and indexedDB to implement a lite cube service in the browser, but it is not enough.

Thanks for your advice, I will continue to improve the both computation and render performance in browser.

I think some programmers need to hear the advice "don't assume that newer is necessarily better", and others need to hear "don't dismiss new things as being created by a cascade of attention-deficit teenagers".

Maybe the author of this article is meeting more of the first kind, but it's dangerous to issue advice that amounts to "wherever you are on this balance, move further East".
It sounds like your deployment and provisioning infrastructure is sub-par. Why would you shove unrelated functionality into the same service? Especially to the point where you can't even choose a descriptive name for said service.

Title isn't great because this is just one part about the language changes, not standard library changes.
If anything I'm a much better programmer in my 40s than when I was younger. My cognitive capacity (being able juggle more balls at the same time) is about the same, probably a bit better now. My lateral thinking has definitely improved. And then of course I'm wiser because I have more experience and my instincts are just better.

What surprises me is I learn much faster now than I used to. But I guess it makes sense. I never stopped learning new things (coding or otherwise) so I've learned to learn. I also have more data points to compare new stuff to.
> The thing that makes European social democracies work is that everyone is in it together and buys into the system

That's far from true. If we talk about percentage of income, the lower and middle classes subsidise everyone else. There are many legal ways to avoid (not evade, which is illegal) taxes if you have enough upfront capital and that is practiced by every big company and upper-class household regardless of location. There are also lots of ways through corruption, lobbying and under-the-table payments or other favours to unjustly enrich oneself at the expense of the taxpayer if you have the right connections.

European countries still "work" but that's more due to inertia and the system is starting to break down; the pandemic accelerated it and we're starting to see the first systemic failures such as the UK (well not technically Europe anymore, but the stage has been set long ago when they were still in the EU).

Short of a few outliers such as some Nordic countries that appear to have figured it out (at least for now), everyone else is in the same boat. Europe just enjoys more inertia but it's just a matter of time.

> I have carefully set up my desktop environment the way I like it, specifically the way menus are displayed, colours, fonts, icons, keyboard shortcuts, notifications. Ecode does not even make a single attempt to adhere which was not acceptable when Winamp came out and certainly not acceptable in 2023.

I understand what you want, but it's not an easy task I it's not something I care anymore. It's technically possible to create a theme that looks almost exactly like anyone's desktop but I don't think it is worth it. eepp, the underlying technology behind ecode is more like HTML+CSS. All the styling is done via CSS and the layouting with XML, and it's more similar to the web technology than native desktop widgets (such thing stopped to be a thing in every OS except macOS).

The README file clarifies this. For the moment I don't support wide-characters (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc) and the editor only supports UTF-8. I'll add support for it at some point. Wide-characters are only supported in the terminal for the moment.

I have no problem with critics, but this is not the way to have a conversation about an open-source application. At least take the time to read the README and understand that this is work in progress. Such comments like yours are a waste of time.

In some states (perhaps even most or all) this is true. It is your legal responsibility to drive a safe enough distance to the car in front so you can avoid collision always if they stop short for any reason.
In just autopilot, I don't think it actually pulls over. I tried it once, and it put on the hazard lights and began to coast to a stop. I was able to just turn off the hazards and use the pedal to resume driving as normal, so you can override at any time. It does penalize you by preventing you from turning AP back on during that drive.
There are paper records for all dealers sales in the US, they're just not electronic. So they are traceable, it just requires manual human effort to pick up telephones and read paperwork out of a filing cabinet.

You have set up a false dichotomy. Why do you ignore that word "partially" in the sentence you quoted?

When someone proposes a partial cause, then pointing out the existence of other causes does absolutely nothing to challenge the premise that there might be multiple contributing factors.

This is not a particularly controversial idea among health researchers. I've been casually following obesity research for decades now, and one of the big themes I've seen is one of scientists being frustrated at their inability to get journalists and popularizers to give a proper accounting of the level of nuance in the knowledge we have. Your use of the phrase "the causal direction" implies that your knowledge is informed by these same popular sources that perennially frustrate the research community, because a proper accounting of the science does not permit the use of a definite pronoun in such a statement.
If your only digital archives are on cold media (e.g. optical disks, tape, offline HDDs) and are never replaced you have a problem. Keep them on readable hot storage that can be easily checked and upgraded over time and that should not be an issue.

I've lost personal archives on CD-R/DVD-R myself and now I keep my archives stored hot on ZFS (has redundancy + bitrot protection), with additional hot and cold backups that are checked regularly. When disks fail they are quickly replaced, thus ensuring that the data is on relatively "new" as opposed to aging media.

The article also mentions the problem with old/proprietary file formats for digital media which can't be opened in the future. Someone I knew actually had a story about how he had pictures stored in some obscure digital format (this was in the 90s when digital cameras were in their infancy) and he had to set up a equally old computer and software just to get the images reexported into something more modern. For something like this again regular checking of the archives (and keeping them hot) helps. Also I'm pretty sure the most basic standardized formats like BMP and JPG aren't going away for a long time.

I read a while back that Thailand is huge for dental tourism. There was also some town in Mexico that had a ton of high quality dentists.

Absolutely not. AI code generation is such a revolutionary boon already, the full potential of which has yet to be seen, that this kind of restriction would be unconscionable. Legally I hope it's found that AI needs no more permission to simply learn from something than a human does. In general I loathe the prospect od petty squabbling over warped perception over ownership of ideas getting in the way of progress.
We agree! But now I understand the work itself better thanks to your summary, so thank you.
> obtain legal heroin

From what I have read, addicts don't want the hard stuff like heroin and fentanyl, they are pushed into it.

They initially had debilitating pain and were put on prescription opioids, but either for legal or medical reasons the script ran out, and since the pain management was not addressed, the addicts turned to hard drugs to manage their pain.

I think if there easier to obtain, legal opioids, then we would not see heroin or fentanyl abuse.

Will there be addicts and abusers? Sure, but that situation has to be less worse than the current opioid crisis.
etymologically it simply means a place that does not exist

This isn't true, I think? Assuming that it derives from the Greek τόπος (location), it literally means "good place" (εὖ-τόπος). The no-such-place translation in Greek would probably be ἄτοπος, but that's an existing word and uses one of the other meanings of τόπος (it means uncommon or absurd).
But again, copilot does not get their hooks into open source any more than it gets their hooks into code in general. And they're not doing EEE against "code".

EEE doesn't need a specific plan but it does need some kind of target standard. Getting into an emerging market, without specific kinds of integration or malfeasance, is just competition.

Seems like a very strange move. The Tesla seems to signal a lane change and abruptly slow down at the same time on a highway with no lights, intersections, turns, or obstacles.

This was precisely the type of driving I figured would be easy to automate - rather than deal with urban settings, pedestrians, bicycles, etc.
When you almost tripled your income, you surely started saving more though, right? It's not really living paycheck to paycheck if you're putting away savings.

The multimillionaire in the mansion down the street lives paycheck to paycheck too - he's got a lot of homes and properties to maintain - but if he loses his job he has millions in assets to cushion him. It's not the same thing as someone making $30k living paycheck to paycheck.
