I'm not a huge fan of arguing for or against the sort of straw man you've hypothesized here, but, if pressed, I'd describe that imaginary person (who I must stress is indeed a weak straw man indeed) as someone not fully familiar with any aspect of history or humanity beyond undying loyalty to their beliefs (which are also a cumulatively developed secondary straw man generated in this hypothetical scenario which is, to my knowledge, not held by any actual person regardless of the assumed intent you may impart), and who may or may not be persuaded to reconsider otherwise when faced with even the slightest bit of welcomed antagonism.

That is to say, I don't know how to play in your fantasy world, since you have not developed it very well.
If they actually meant it, they would call it "infinite PTO".

I wish I were just starting out; to get hired at one of these places and immediately take unlimited PTO just as an experiment and see how far it could go.

Also, democratic systems have mechanisms for getting rid of truly ineffective people in a relatively reliable and predictable fashion. Authoritarian regimes have a hard time replacing the top without chaos, and the replacements are also often not vetted to be better.
If ACC speed adjustment let to the trailer losing traction and swerving behind him, then there's something not right with his towing setup, even in a panic stop, I've never had my trailer swerve behind me. That's a serious hazard, ACC speed adjustment braking should not cause any loss of control.

I've seen pickups with too little weight on the rear axle lock up the wheels and get pushed around by the trailer especially when the trailer braking is adjusted too light, but with the advent of ABS, that's not nearly as common.

The problem here isn't the ACC braking (even though many car markers will tell you not to use it while towing), it's trailer setup.
C4 came up with icepanel earlier. I will give one take - C4 is a nice abstraction that is very useful for architects, who spend a bulk of their day presenting things at different levels of the company.

When it comes to the engineers deploying and checking things into git, it is quite a bit of cognitive overhead. Imagine taking a C4 training and then referencing that knowledge every 4-6 months when you actually need to model something new, and having to choose layers to model at. Engineers are the ones expected to maintain system documentation, and usually they know exactly what the network and sequence diagrams for a system should look like. Anything standing in their way of that goal gets replaced with draw.io or even ASCII art editors. In my anecdotal experience building these systems - engineers want a dead simple graph editor that is canonical enough for their company (think shared templates); or they just haven’t fumbled enough with UML-metalanguages like this one enough to realize what they want.

That said, checking in models and having them be in a diffable format is helpful to them as well. There is no reason a visual editor can’t do this.
But those are generally shorter term loans
> The mind of the writer is obsessed by the contrasting positions of two philosophical currents. The first says: The world doesn’t exist; only language exists. The second says: Common language has no meaning; the world is ineffable.

Start at a higher level of abstraction. Everything is information. Some has associated mass. A miniscule amount is transmitted as characters for interpretation in some fashion.
That sounds useful but I can't quite picture what I'd do. Do you have an example?
We have learned nothing. Europe is nestling close to China. Environmentalists continue to block all efforts to wean us off Russian gas. The real economic adjustment to higher energy costs has not come with hundreds of billions of subsidies (so environmentalists win the day politically...everyone thinks it will be fine, they don't see that German unemployment would be north of 20% if this ran it's course).

It has just started.
It's true, but you'd never really write code like this

No one said this was NY style. The original comment was lamenting that Pizza Hut pan pizza doesn't taste as good as it did in the 80s and 90s. I pointed out recipes that directly mimic that classic pan pizza style. Pizza Hut is not and has never claimed to be New York style pizza. It's an entirely different style that's neither New York nor Chicago style. It's closest to Detroit style pizza.
Russia is not operating as a misunderstood "good guy", the person you're replying to is caught up in contrarianism for its own sake.
I am fine with this. I personally have no interest in Copilot, but my understanding is its not small feat to offer a service like this. I think it would be understandable if the "free tier" was severely rate limited. GitHub has plenty of crappy business practices, this seems pretty tame. The honeymoon is over. If people want this technology, they can pay up.

Not sure if this is still the case, but last time I checked Microsoft Office had student discount, but was not generally free. This seems like a similar situation.
This seems like an example of not reading the manual and then blaming the tool.

The switch to dump what is executing is -d or --debug, the manpage has this listed in the list of flags you can pass, and they are even sorted alphabetically which means this is displayed near the top.

As for the time thing, it's not totally clear what you want, but you can probably just use the time command in the rule you want to measure. Most systems have an actual time command that is not a shell built-in at /usr/bin/time if for some reason the builtin doesn't work for this purpose.
I was in Philly a few years ago for a day trip and tried two different cheesesteaks. Both were fine, but they're not places I would ever seek out again.

I've definitely had better delicious hot steak sandwiches with cheese and toppings in other places. Maybe I was expecting something different, or maybe you've got a point?

Guess I'll have to get to Joe's if I am in Philly again!

AR has some very compelling use cases in medicine and manufacturing. There is also the idea of using AR instead of a physical monitor that may lead to drastic adoption. While the Hololens 2 is expensive, FOV limited, and clunky, the user experience is absolutely incredible. They are the only good smart-glasses like experience I know of right now. They show you what a world is like when the smartphone escapes the little box we carry around.

The hard part of AR is the shared experience part. It's close to creating a cross-platform MMO game.
Trump said nothing new. The issue was known for decades but Germany liked cheap gas too much(i.e like the U.S liked cheap labour from China). Not to mention that Trump also said EU is a foe for the U.S and Russia is treated unfairly. Trump was a true clown that just said a lot of things hoping something will stick. It's amazing that people still quote him.
You’re dismissing a very legitimate quality difference in inner vs outer boroughs. There’s like 3 or 4 notable places in outer Brooklyn (s/o krispy pizza) that can compete with the dozens of incredible slices in inner Brooklyn.

I’ve spent less time in Queens, but it seems Queens really does have a lot of great food outside of the hotspots.
This sort of already exists in Vancouver, BC, Canada. There is more to it than just salary, but there is a huge gap at the neighborhood level.

“ But zoom in to the neighbourhood level — what Statistics Canada calls “census tracts” — and you’ll see that life expectancy can vary by as much as 30 years.

The area with the lowest life expectancy is the Downtown Eastside, where the average resident is expected to live 60.2 years.

The area with the highest life expectancy is the University Endowment Lands, where the average resident is expected to live 90.4 years.”

I have found rose color goggles REALLY help. They change the color of the light. Even people with their bright lights on do not blind me. Just annoying.
The goggle is popular with snow skiers. They look goofy on me driving at night, but I can see better. Amazon has many "rose colored clip on sunglasses".

I just had a (to me) hilarious thought. In some distant eons, humans actually manages to colonize a string of star systems. The other aliens think we are super quaint and weird.

Slarti: "Look at them, it makes no sense to me. They always go for the hot, rocky planets deep in gravity wells. Why do they do it?!"

Barti: "I guess there's no accounting for taste."

Slarti: "Maybe they want to avoid competition... no one is going to come there looking for resources."

Barti: "But they had to drain an Oorth cloud for fusion power to get there! You are right, it makes no sense!"
If so, then why the second line of its documentation says that "it is a rewrite of minGPT that prioritizes teeth over education"?
Barring Chicago style tactics. I doubt it wagos, pvc conduit, armor clad instead of EMT and preterminated outlets already save so much time.
The article leads with a house that needed updated electric in the 1990s most likely and as is typical in high priced markets updates were deferred due to the cost of living.
Even given most peoples illiteracy with regard to electricity people to get annoyed with not enough outlets, wanting an outdoor light or outlet or installing a window air conditions which again 30 years ago could have required a new 240V circuit. Doing those updates would likely have required updates to what could be a 60A panel.

Based on the letters, I think "-referanke" is a typo for "preferable." Out of curiosity, do you type the 'b' key with your right hand?

>another is the likelihood that the kind of people who seek power generally aren’t the kind of people who should be put in power.

That's indeed a problem, but only part: terrible people are still just people, and have no ability on their own to hold onto power. They only do so because a legion of people enables them: security forces, police, military, and ultimately the regular citizenry. All these people either happily risk their lives defending the terrible person, or stand back and do nothing and allow themselves to be abused. Just look at Russia: Putin is an elderly man in poor health. He has no ability to keep himself in power unilaterally. But a bunch of security people are happy to follow his orders and keep him in power, and even murder other rich, powerful people on his behalf. It would be easy for them to murder him in his bathtub like another terrible autocrat long ago, but they prefer to stay loyal to him even while he destroys their country.
Why would you be shocked and disappointed? It is the obligation of the driver trailing you to maintain enough distance to be able to stop safely if the car in front of them has to brake hard for whatever reason. The fact that your hard braking wasn't actually necessary may mean that you're also responsible, but it doesn't absolve the other driver.
Nreal is pretty close to regular glasses for AR
I agree, I also think the reason you see every single pain point of the Macbooks is because they're so much more abundant than non-Apple laptops (perhaps aside from ThinkPads).

If you looked at the last 8 years of Acer laptops, you would see a large variety of designs, of which each iteration may have had its own flaws.
Even worse is their vision of people playing complete idiots in public places --yeah, I'm just gonna do virtual fencing in the middle of a crowded street and make myself vulnerable to assailants. The park, yes, that works but a busy street, are they just out of touch with reality?
Philly and New Haven are basically the only 2 other cities that have solid “pizza cultures”. If you go to Baltimore, DC, or Boston you can’t get anything close to an NY slice without traveling significantly out of your way. Even then, the ubiquity of the NYC slice shop can’t be matched
Exactly! For Europeans to develop to the point they could dominate the rest of the world, they took a thousand years to recover from Roman imperialism and develop distinct ethic/national identities. We have to not interfere with the third world and be willing to not interfere for a thousand years for them to sociologically mature to the point they can operate effectively in the first world.

The solution to problems caused by imperialism is never more imperialism. The solution to such problems can only come from within those people.
Mexia. The first time I heard the joke about "how do you say the name of this place?" and the punch line was "Dairy Queen" I was in Mexia.

I used to know all those dirt roads and oilfield lease roads. I learned to drive out there around Shiloh power-sliding around those blind curves at night so you could see whether there was any oncoming traffic.

Some of my family also had deep connections to Hill and Limestone County.

Groesbeck had a great diner near the courthouse where we used to get breakfast every morning on our way out to the Kosse/Marquez area.
>TL;DR - Sometimes the 3 second following distance is just not enough even if someone is paying attention because they can only see the car in front of them.

Yep... the usual advice locally is 5 to 7 seconds gap for freeways and similar, before accounting for weather and other conditions. Of course, that assumes you can leave a gap without some bastard deciding to sneak in and occupy it.
I was younger than her when I found a two-inch specimen in the middle of the street I lived on.

Over 65 years ago in the Tampa bay area it was not very crowded at all. Especially in the summer when all the seasonal residents went back up north. This was when air conditioning was still very uncommon, mostly confined to the supermarkets and banks, many which had large sitting areas where the senior citizens could hang out.

Anyway they were subdividing the undeveloped tracts in town to build homes but the neighborhood was still only about half built. Lots of woods and fields but this was not really a remote suburb, it's part of the city grid about 50 blocks from downtown. But the streets were still white dirt roads back then.

These were actually "shell roads" where the white dirt consisted of crushed fossilized clamshells, basically calcium carbonate.

Turns out it was the cars that did the crushing, too. Every few years a big truck would come and put out a new layer of shells. About half would be intact from half an inch size to 3 or 4 inches all over the place. No more walking barefoot or riding bikes for a while. These were dug up from ancient accumulations along the gulf coast which were probably about like the places where the sea current piles shells up today. But they were pure white after lying undisturbed in their deposits for zillions of years.

When the neighbors came home they would have to drive slowly and carefully, there was even less traction than the dirt road. After a few weeks when it started to get about the consistency of small gravel, this is when the dust was highest. Then another truck would come and drip oil on the roads, no asphalt or tar but more like a dark brown heating oil. Kids who had been safely walking barefoot had gotten accustomed to dusty feet up to their ankles, then it became dirty soles of feet that would not wash right off with a hose. After a month or two the road was white again which is how it was most of the time.

Well one time a couple days after they spread out the big shells, I was carefully tip-toeing across the street in my flip-flops and there it was. Looked like the one in the picture but not as big. The only black thing in the whole street, it was a no-brainer.

It was once in a lifetime for me, everybody was looking for one after that, and nobody I knew ever found another.
Same. I don't have to count days, or worry that I'll need my time later in the year. If I want a day off, even if it's for no real reason, I take the day off.

The referenced presentation is an unusually good talk on optimization in DBMS. I recommend it to anyone interested in the topic. Among other tricks ClickHouse uses adaptive optimization to switch approaches during query execution. [0] It's interesting to contrast this to the costs of upfront optimization.

"The Library of Babel" by Jorge Luis Borges [0].

Borges was a direct influence on William Gibson most notably (to me at least) seen with the short story "The Aleph" by Borges [1]. Gibson had an "aleph" device simulating reality in "Mona Lisa Overdrive" (which many of the characters mispronounced as "LF" device).

Video understanding engineer here.

Tunnels and underpasses are the worst. They are a pain in the ass, because shadows mess with all the edge detection and motion models and anything else visual. Humans compensate by thinking "I'm in a tunnel: things are weird." But without a reasoning model that can take context into account, the computer is stuck.

In the video from behind, you can see the shadow ahead of the car on the floor of the tunnel that it carefully stops just before it would hit. A person would notice that EVERY OTHER car had driven straight through the thing it thought was an obstacle, but that is also context this car isn't going to take into account.
Until you want to update a protobuf definition and then tear your hair out because you cannot atomically ship changes to clients and servers. Even if the code in your source tree says everything is a-okay that one service that hasn't been updated shits the bed when handed a proto with mismatched types.

Thus, proto definitions become an "only add, never modify or remove" thing. Not ideal.
Ground-source heat pumps fix that problem I believe. Of course, drilling a hole is extra work and expense. For multi-unit housing, it should be a lot more economical since you could drill one hole for coolant circulation and share that among all the units.
Actually around 17% of the human population.
We already have a ridiculously regulated, stifling environment. More stifling is not the answer, just look at the wait times and patients being denied basic care in Canada and the UK. We need to end the ridiculous grip the AMA has on the # of doctors; get rid of the hospital certificates of need, and encourage a new industry of medical professionals who specialize in certain areas without unneeded training in other areas.
Thanks for the tip. I probably should start with the fan favorites. I'll check those out when I'm next in new york!
Another way to say this is that diagrams and code have different audiences. Even if it is the aame person, it is in a different context.
As a matter of pragmatism, the person intentionally putting other drivers at unnecessary risk by being an asshole should bear the responsibility for the outcomes of that intentional and unnecessary risk they elected to subject roadway users to.
Best pizza I’ve ever had. Franks in New Haven is close, but just not that crazy about thin crust.

(Ironically, some of the worst “real” pizza I’ve had was at the Atlanta restaurant owned by someone whose “How to make real pizza” page gets posted here every year or two. Yea, it had a nice char but everything about it was just bland bland bland)
One more very relevant one that I missed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31707349
The recommended following distance is "Never get closer than the overall stopping distance." [1], so even if the car in front somehow went from 70mph to 0 instantly, you should be able to stop.

A good way to fix this and relieve the stress for the employees but get the PTO debt burden thing off the books is to just call it RTO.. recommended time off.. pick a number and say “while PTO is unlimited we have a recommended number that we hope most employees will target.. our RTO is 4 weeks for employees less than 4 years and 6 weeks for employees after 4 years.. again this is flexible, but this is our recommendation”
This is disingenuous, an example of twisting statistics for your own karmic gain.

The fact is, if you consider the statistics of it being a rock that also behaves in the peculiar flight pattern that this thing took, it could very well be a probe.
It's not clear that even a super smart compiler can do this. The best schedule depends on the latency of instructions. This is a problem because we can't know statically whether a particular memory load is in L1/L2/L3/DRAM/etc., as this can vary for different executions of the same load instruction.
Not an illustration, but I really like the Hungarian Algorythmics videos
As an example the UK "stockpile" of gas is notionally 9 TWh although in practice you definitely shouldn't treat that whole volume as slack because if it ever runs out everything is fucked.

The UK uses typically maybe 700 GWh per day of electricity. So the stockpile you're talking about is less than two weeks of electricity you've "offset" from the summer. OK, and now what do we do for the remaining months of winter ?
UX note: 1 step = 200 units of worse
Your comment is so weird. China has not shown colonial mindset in the last few hundred years. Even when it had by far, the highest GDP country in the world, it did not colonize other countries.

All China wants is for North Korea to not collapse because that would create a huge humanitarian crisis at its borders.

Also, Chinese people are more practical. Leave this problem to the Chinese and they’ll find a way to solve it that does not involve sending its army to Haiti. They’re not warmongers like Americans are.
Artichoke pizza is serviceable drunk food, but really not very good outside of that context.

The recommended distance is not 2 seconds at highway speeds. 2s is a rule of thumb for <35 mph; for 50mph, it's somewhere around 4s.

But, in any case, it is your obligation to leave as much space as it takes for you to stop your car before it hits the car in front, taking in consideration the speed of both vehicles before braking and the condition of the road. The rule of thumb is there for you as a baseline; blindly following it does not automatically mean that you're in the right if an accident results.

Yeah although pickled or canned stuff like mushrooms, olives, etc. work great and you can just stockpile them in your pantry when you see them on sale. I usually make my pizzas with sausage instead of pepperoni because I find ground sausage cheaper than pepperoni. If you find stuff on sale all the core ingredients like cheese, sauce, etc. can last in your freezer for a long time.
