Buying a rural hospital is like buying a money pit, if the money pit had another money pit inside it that was constantly generating new money pits. Judging from this guy's state filings, he's pretty much getting the right to lease an empty building for $100/year, as long as he refurbishes it and runs it as a 49-bed hospital; their pro formas are, I think, somewhat optimistic, and I'm worried about the number of physicians per beds they imply, but if they're very, very good and their pro formas hold they could get back in the black in about six years. There are definitely better ways to make money than this out there.
Nobody that would be confused by this would ever use Konqueror. Chrome or Firefox, those are the choices.
It would require a very, very large tarp. The simpler solution is to stop drying it out to begin with, but that would require more or less halting extractive agriculture in Utah (as well as much of the rest of the Mountain West).

Depends on what you mean by "they" and "fixed". There's a few clients. They do threading in different ways. I'm sure you'll find one that does what you like.
#1 is weird. I would never look at a bipolar sensor with a wide hysteresis and think "latch", but after re-reading it that's totally what it is and makes me rethink my idea of a latch. And here I just thought they were for non-intrusively measuring current.
Not sure about special agreements or contracts, but Tweetbot along with other high-profile third-party apps (like Twitterrific) had way, way more API tokens available because of their size when Twitter started restricting the number of API tokens an app could have assigned for the lifetime of the app. API tokens for new apps were way more limited, around 10,000 I believe. Tweetbot and Twitterrific, while they never disclosed how many tokens they were given as legacy apps, were still to this day accepting new users, so the number seems to be way more than 10,000.

And they had access to a less limited API (request-wise) to make their app work better without constant rate limiting nags.
ChatGPT, write a poem about "considered harmful"

"Considered Harmful"

A label too often placed,

On thoughts and ideas unbraced,

By those who fear the change it brings,

And cling to what familiarity brings.

But progress waits for none,

And stagnation must be undone,

For growth and evolution's sake,

We must make the considered harmful, break.

For every idea met with disdain,

May hold the key to progress, attain,

So let us not be quick to judge,

And keep an open mind, a mind that's not sludge.

For what is harmful in one's eyes,

May lead to breakthroughs, skies to skies.

So let us not be afraid,

To challenge the status quo, and let the considered harmful fade.
A bit of an overreaction. In time, ChatGPT will fade into obscurity like every other over-hyped AI offering.
Really? So who answered for it?

Last I heard, literally zero folks went to jail (or even lost their jobs).
McKinsey style interview question. How many road intersections are there in the US?
I tend to do this too but in a team environment, and I've gotten mixed feedback with some people pushing back on the number of changes or extra scope, and others being excited for tech debt being paid off and the value add.

If the volume of changes really gets out of hand I'll split it into two smaller PR's, then deploy one PR, merge main into to the other, and deploy the other. It's a balancing act sometimes to know where to stop and call it "good enough."

Haiku's icon format[0] seems to solve this issue: not only it supports per-shape level of detail, allowing elements of an icon to be hidden, appear or replaced based on the icon scale size, it is also much smaller than SVG (supposedly average size for Haiku icons is 500-700 bytes) so it can be used directly.

Missing in a lot of discussion about “return to office” is that someone (maybe these same CEOs) had made offices completely intolerable even before the pandemic by introducing the “open plan” office layout where you can’t work because the constant noise makes it impossible and you have no personal space and no privacy.

Small wonder workers don’t want to return to the office when they’re treated like chickens in an industrial henhouse there.
It is fairly straightforward to outlaw this kind of thing.

Extend the same laws that we have about commercial speech to the public, to any speech that is to the public.
Not speech that is in public, speech that is to the public at large.
Must be warrantied, with due diligence.

You know how people talk in the court, so they don't accidentally lie (and get the punishments that that would entail)?
Imagine if politicians (or anyone) had to abide by that when they speak to the public.
I have a feeling their bombastic claims (and lies) used to incite and defraud people would be greatly tempered and have more qualifying statements.
Fraud, libel, and slander laws restored.
Well, look at that. Thanks!
If a giant tarp would work, we probably would have started with the Salton Sea which is a paltry 350 square miles in area.

Of course, you could try covering the 1700 square mile Great Salt Lake with a tarp and then somehow maintaining it.
I made something I know for a fact a lot of people under 20 use, and the entitlement in the community is really something else when compared to other projects. In this particular project it helps to remind yourself that people are most likely under 20 as you don't let children and teenagers get to your head the same way an adult would.

The internet is a weird place where you'd think everyone is probably around your own age.

Personally I've just learned to ignore negative feelings in bug reports and general entitlement over wanting features.

A pattern I picked up from all of this and even caught myself thinking a few times is if more than 2 or 3 things are not working as it should you'd think everything is broken. You end up with a bug report that is 95% negative emotions about you and your project and the remaining 5% describe what the actual 2 bugs are.

It usually happens when you decide to rewrite something for a better future. You're told to roll it all back rather than fixing what's wrong.

I think it helps to find people in the community that act more like adults and involve them in the project more. They will often help you in return to manage entitlement from other people.

"much out of him" is a relative qualifier. At the least his tweets haven't been making news unlike the week where he was taking polls whether he should step down and unban journalists.
I started composting last year and combined with bottle return (takes 5 mins once a month at the grocery store) it's amazing how much waste and recycling I've been able to reduce. My next goal is all but eliminating my plastic use, through refill stores, laundry sheets (not pods!) and the like. It's not actually that hard to reduce our individual impact, just requires unlearning some wasteful habits

What do you mean that we “only need” 63 decimal places?

A computer can calculate and hold a lot more than 63 digits.

So I guess my question is more like: if the universe was just one big computer dedicated only to calculating (and storing) digits of pi, how many digits could it get to calculate, max?

There's an alarmist aspect to this article, but there is no doubt that things like ChatGPT will be used to produce an enormous amount of garbage texts that will flood into and destroy the value of content-driven sites like news, recipes, social media, how-to/tutorial, education, etc.

A higher value will be put on socially administered and validated content providers, where reputation will be king.

Worth noting that this is a very common method and used by high profile RTS's such as Starcraft 2. It does require your simulation be deterministic, of course, which can bring challenges depending on what you're simulating. Supreme Commander had challenges with determinism and physics if I recall correctly due to CPU bugs, although they eventually worked it out.
the uranium needs to be enriched to be used as fuel

"In the United States, there is only one uranium conversion facility — it’s in Metropolis, Illinois — and it has been on standby since November 2017. Its reopening is “pending market improvement and customer support,” according to a power point presentation from the partnership between General Atomics and Honeywell that operates the plant, ConverDyn. It won’t be able to return to operability until 2023, when it could convert 7,000 tons of uranium per year. To ramp up to 15,000 tons per year, it will take the one plant longer than 2023.

Therefore, Dabbar and Bowen said it would be prudent for the United States to wean off Russian refinement capacity “a period of years not months.”"

The safety issues at JFK stem from the fact that it is a very old airport, built for the turboprop era.
I've had one team member push back more than others.

One solution has been to do a 1:1 screen share with someone else who has more context or feels the impact of the changes more in their day to day, and work with them to get more constructive feedback and to approve the PR.
Your examples are as much cultural as religious, at least in this era. "Under god" was added to the anthem in the 50s, and I doubt it'll last another decade.

Plural marriage isn't widely practiced or supported for pragmatic reasons.

Holidays are religious artifacts, yet not all of them, and there is no forced participation anymore. (Except in so far as government services are unavailable.)

Abortion rights have and are evolving. As the old, more religious folks die off it should swing the other way soon.

I think the sense entitlement goes both ways. Sometimes maintainers get the wrong idea that their work is above critique because it's open source.

Such that even when presented with reasonable feedback, they balk and snap at the contributor. "Well if you don't like feature X, why don't you GTFO and fork it". For some reason it's okay for contributions to be critiqued but not the projects. Who gave this poor author this wrong idea?

>No offense intended, but most PMs I've met are fucking useless

Beyond basic horse sense, technical credibility, customer outreach, market sense, & roadmap development by nurturing sheafs of competing priorities while constantly mindful of critical constraints...

...A PM has to make their management happy. Who increasingly isn't technical at all.

Show me a 'pointless, clueless, idiotic' user story or epic, & I'll show you the result of PM negotiations with stakeholder(s) who asked (demanded) something far worse.

EVERY non-technical %VP, C%% and VC I've met just Loves to say "it's just software; it can do anything"... & completely miss the bitter irony that statement should embody.

I always ask before I send an invite, and it's on my business account - not a personal account.

Plus every once in a while I have one where we get to know each other quite well and it's fun to see where their lives take them.

I know of women photographers that literally go on trips with their "senior models," so I think me following them on social media is pretty tame in comparison.
Just sandbox mode for now.

The rivers don't meander in the way that real rivers do- real rivers meander because of differences in flow velocity across the width of the river, but the simulation doesn't run at that sort of resolution. If it did, the area covered would be far smaller.

The vast majority of road intersections do not have traffic lights. This is because they are expensive. People die every day at intersections without traffic lights. The money to put up the lights just doesn’t exist. A basic 4 way stop is about a quarter million to put in traffic lights. And even at that price you do not get lights with high availability features.

If anyone is entitled in this discussion it would be the people expecting to be spoken to in their preferred tone.

Perhaps consider that you will never be able to control the actions of other people and that you can only control the actions (and reactions) of yourself.
teams should push for a 70/30 feature to tech-debt ratio. product is so good at feeding the dev machine, devs rarely get time to evaluate the landscape and push back.
I don't understand your point. Are you agreeing that you should simply shrug it off because not everyone will have your opinion, or are you disagreeing?
I had a sort-of hobby of learning and listening to ATC at one point. Some of these guys were scary-unintelligible . I remember this Chinese ATC at some major airport saying as fast as he possibly could “clah de leh” which was supposed to be “Clear to land”. It’s amazing the system works as well as it does.
Anytime you see the words “considered harmful” in a blog title you can ignore it. Just another guy looking for that “goto considered harmful” fame. His time is probably better spent renting a movie, doing laundry, looking for one of those 1935 double dip Denver pennies, etc.
I found this interesting.

> "[...] give people rocket science without knowing that it’s rocket science. It’s kind of the wolf in sheep’s clothing model. I wanted C programmers to be able to look at a Java program and think they understood what was going on. And mostly they did."

In the case of the synchronized keyword, it gave Java developers the misconceived notion that concurrency was easy and (mutexes were) composable. The truth is that until the Java 5 (aka 1.5) memory model specification was published no one did or could know what was going on.

People get what radio buttons are even if they never saw a radio with the mutually exclusive buttons[0] that these UI elements were inspired from - they were obsolete even back in the 80s.

Personally i never made the association until almost 2 decades after using computers with radio button elements, despite growing up having a monochrome TV that had actual "radio buttons" (or TV buttons in that case, which probably helped to avoid the association :-P).

And most people know what a phonograph/gramophone is without ever seeing one in person. I don't think a floppy icon will confuse anyone if they know it is for saving and is consistently used as the "saving icon", regardless of if they've seen a real floppy disk or not :-).

From the article - “While an agreement had been reached last year to work one to two days per week in the office, badge swipes indicated many employees “are not meeting their minimum promise,””

Reminded me of this quote from Office Space.

“Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? Now if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, okay? You do want to express yourself, don't you?”

I mean, employers are free to make whatever policies they want and employees are free to stay or leave. I think things have their own way of normalizing.

Is your comment self-referential?
In the current market with tons of layoffs? not soon.
I agree that ChatGPT's ability to generate convincing arguments for complete BS is concerning. But I'm not convinced it's a clear negative, in the long run. Humans have been concocting convincing arguments for complete BS for millennia. Perhaps having non-humans generate such arguments will make humans less inclined to believe BS based on such arguments. Eventually AI's will be able to think logically, barring any catastrophes that prevent further improvements. And eventually, the AI alignment problem will either be solved or human civilization will fail in one way or another. In the meantime, things will be very strange, but not clearly better or worse.
Isn't that completely unnecessary? Do a deeper comparison. If the elements are absolutely equal, then it doesn't matter.

In the rare event that you have to sort a big stack of paper, merge sort is also super intuitive and easy to apply by hand.
It’s worth noting that often lockstep is not appropriate. Fighting games, for instance, require frame-perfect inputs. Fighting games become hard to play perfectly if you introduce jitter into the timing by requiring frame synchronization. In a fighting you’d just unwind whatever happened and replay the simulation as if the “real” thing happened, which could mean undoing things a user saw in certain circumstances.

Your reaction to and obsession with the word "woke" tells us all we need to know about your propaganda driven mind.

I agree with your point about how the personality of (technology) companies doesn’t fit the security minded person well. As a software engineer, I feel I am in the small minority whenever I mention security or privacy concerns at work. I feel that most technology is evil at this point because of the immense ability of it to violate people’s privacy. It is sad to me that this is the state of the modern tech ecosystem.
Incorrect. What we now call "Christian fundamentalism" did not exist prior to the 1800s.
I am confused. There was indeed a reconfiguration of twitter in the last couple of days.

On WWW, I see the tabs

* Following (which appears to be the chronological feed)

* All my favorited lists as separate tabs, which previously had to navigated to on WWW. But which were available as tabs on Android before and still are.

There are few measures by which Korea is still an emerging country and by many other measures it's more developed than many other OECD countries. The status of Korea 40 years ago doesn't change its current reality and how it compares to other countries today. Nor does its current GDP growth; we wouldn't suddenly stop calling Germany a highly developed country if it started posting the exact same growth numbers that Korea does.
Correct about fashion, but wrong about the icons. Glassy icons are like concrete boxes, not cathedrals. They never looked good and were just the fashion for a while, like shag carpets or powdered wigs.
Imagine TweetBot and Twitterrific just silently became dual Twitter/Mastodon clients, automatically following Mastodon accounts that are followed on Twitter, and when Twitter API is unavailable, customers don't notice a thing.
Hey there!

Long story short i have been working in IT for close to two decades. I think it's finally time i start writing my thoughts on the subject. As of right now i focused on Android because i wanted to share some tips with friends.

Figured out it would be easier to put it on a website and share it to the world. To make it more accessible, i translate everything EN/FR so as many people as possible can have access to this.

It was also a way for me to finally learn wordpress. I went with the platform but eventually i will port it all to self hosted.

I went with a no bullshit approach; no ads, no sponsored content. I want to share freely for people to enjoy just like I have enjoy a plentiful of free software throughout my journey in IT.

I made all the icons and the logo by myself too. :)
