There's quite a range of gas stations, so it's hard to be certain about any specific one.

But a gas station for a major chain seems exactly the place that would have working cameras, because you're going to get people who fill up and drive away without paying.

It's really hard to know if my memory is faulty, so I looked for images of gas stations from the 1990s.

Zoom in on this picture from a Citgo in 1998 and you'll see four cameras hung from the ceiling - one pointing each direction, for each of the pumping islands. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/the-citgo-stat...

On the other hand, the five or so other US stations I found, from the same time frame, don't have an apparent camera. (Which doesn't mean they weren't there, though that seems unlikely.)

So .. I don't know. But I can say that at least some gas stations had video cameras going, and I don't place much weight in your argument that they "very frequently didn't work".

In the mid-1990s someone had a fender bender with a co-worker's car in the parking lot. The building had roof cameras, and he was able to get security to review the video the next day. However, it didn't have the detail for that purpose. So my anecdotal evidence is that it wasn't all that hard to have a working system 20+ years ago.

After all, it wasn't all that expensive for Jennicam to get started at that time, with automatic image capture and uploads.

This is public sector. They knew the pay grade when they got hired (stating the pay range has been a requirement ever since the web page was launched) and it can't be changed without an act of the legislature.

With new grads, we can't hold 'em at all. For people who came in with 5+ years of experience, the average tenure here is 15 years. People are more likely to retire than quit.

When I clerked for a judge (not on the Supreme Court), she sometimes asked me to write two draft opinions -- one where one side wins -- and another where the other side wins -- and she used those materials in drafting her ultimate opinion.

There are so many different things going on in how judges write. I hope that they can get some _sense_ of security again so that they feel the freedom to be as open-minded as possible in figuring out the cases before them.

> I find one of the biggest mistakes programmers have about mathematical notation is that it's somehow just a terse, badly implemented programming language. But this is a very poor understanding of what mathematical notation is doing.

No, we think that because proofs and programs are isomorphic[1]. It's not a mistake: traditional mathematical notation provably is a terse badly implemented programming language. Actually it's worse than that, because oftentimes it doesn't even parse. Now I'm not going to say I can't on some level see the appeal. After all I think Perl is a lot of fun to code in.

Naturally, its adherents are practiced at making a virtue out of its defects. Who wants to admit they dedicated considerable brainpower to doing something in a fundamentally suboptimal way? That doesn't really matter though. As Mathematica and other tooling shows, the formalists have already won and now it's just a matter of mopping up the stragglers, or waiting for them to age out. This isn't terribly surprising to those who know the basics of the history of mathematics. It took something on the order of two centuries before Recorde's innovation of the equal sign was generally accepted.

Here is the big stumbling block with this, right at this step: "Others try to help user with Y, but are confused because Y seems like a strange problem to want to solve."

Of course it is strange. If it were common, I would have, in my due diligence, already found it. I realize the Internet is filled with idiots who cannot or will not use Google, but it sure makes everything else fairly hard.

Worst is having to specify, in the question itself, "This is not an XY problem," only for someone to try to find some way to make it an XY problem (you almost always can, if you try hard enough, and not just the degenerate case of "You wouldn't have this if you just stopped caring about X.") and then, once you have sufficiently proven yourself, those folks are nowhere to be found.

>People are expecting more and more handouts and no one wants to pay for it

I think this is more that we're entering a post material scarcity economy kind of like we changed from almost everyone being farmers. We're leaving behind the economy where almost everyone manufactures stuff to where they do something else.
Definitely frustrating for everyone following as well, since answering the question assuming it's an XY problem is only useful to subsequent readers who are trying to solve the same problem and doing it wrong in the same way.

It is not helpful to people who are trying to solve a different problem correctly, who would like an answer to the exact question that the original poster asked, nor is it useful to people who are trying to solve the same problem but in a different, also wrong way - as they will likely never see the post.

This is way too open-ended of a question for HN.
The `zip` and `map` functions used here are actually functions of the module std::option, and not std::iter. While they are the same idea "in essence", they have different implementation. The std::option ones are a simple pattern match, while the std::iter ones are more complex. For example, std::iter::zip returns an std::iter::Zip, while std::option::zip returns an Option of a tuple.

I'll also add that option's zip and map are also implemented with a pattern match, like above.

One error and one deviation from the established norm for a toy example is a lot. At the scale of a codebase it would be a catastrophe.
Relevant.Page AI Writer Does Something ChatGPT Cannot
Ledyard Digital recently announced the launch of Relevant.Page, a powerful AI writer that does something ChatGPT cannot - write about current events and research websites on behalf of the user. The AI Writer combines natural language processing and an advanced neural network to create articulate and persuasive copywriting at scale.

Relevant.Page is the answer to writers looking for an AI assistant to help them with their content creation; the AI writer can do all the hard work while the writer just provides the basic information, or they can add the webpage URL to research and write about.

I was looking up NRGV, the fraudulent energy storage company (the one with concrete blocks and cranes) which hit $2.4B last year and then fell to a sixth that, before drifting up a bit.

According to analysts, if I read the summary right, it should be considered worth $1B, short-term, and $0, long term. Last I checked it had $90M in cash, down from $100M a few weeks ago.

Now, with $90M they could buy an actually viable energy storage technology to (most likely) run into the ground.

What are these analysts thinking, recommending BUY of a fraudulent company with no better prospects than your average fusion start-up or Hyperloop, and already trading at several times its objective value? Is it a judgment about where ignorant investors will take a no-future company that has been well-hyped, a la Tesla? And, could they be right?

> But just as often it feels like users just dislike change. The new thing feels wrong because it's unfamiliar, not because it's objectively worse.

Avoiding change is an entirely valid concern, which you also share. I say this assuming that you would be upset if I moved your steering wheel to the opposite side of your car overnight, or switched your gas and brake pedals.

Being not "objectively worse" is not nearly enough. A change, at the very least, has to be a significant improvement to make up for retraining time/effort.
They could increase the impact by giving a larger percent of the sale. Amazon sends an email every so often telling you how much you've "donated" via Smile, and I'm always surprised how sadly small that number is. I've been in the program for many years and I buy a lot of shit from them.
From being on both ends of this, just answer the question as asked. It’s especially irritating when people essentially overreach and just decide you’re asking the wrong question. You’re saying “no I’m insisting on being more helpful than you’re asking me to be.” Just answer the damn question and let the person run into the next stumbling block. Why be so upset that the problem you’re now imagining hasn’t yet been solved? Your job is done.

The most I think that’s appropriate to do is to answer the question and THEN ask what they’re trying to do. If they bite, they bite.

Truly where does this end. You could say — they’re asking the wrong question for a reason. Sounds like you’re not thinking about the situation right because you’re not staying sharp. Have you tried doing sudoku puzzles? Maybe your mind is clouded due to anger. How’s your relationship with your parents? Have you checked for a gas leak in the room you’re working in?

Baby Rudin opened my eyes to what you can do with maths.
In general people don't want to hear that they have a problem from anyone but themselves. I've had so many I Told You So moments with certain individuals that at some point you just assume everything they ask for has been rendered incomprehensible in a game of Telephone, either with other people or with themselves. In public policy they call it, "Something must be done, this is 'something', so we must do it."

Neal Gaiman did a compendium of Norse Mythology, and in it he claims that Thor says, "When something weird happens I always assume Loki is involved. It saves time." That's the line that stuck with me the most out of that entire book.

The people who fall into this category will tune you out while you say over and over "this is going to hurt us next year" and come in with a Pikachu face a year from now when they find out that it's been a year and the chickens have come home to roost.

People, as it turns out, are much more accepting of a team delivering consistently 10% slower than expected versus a team that delivers to expectations one year and suddenly drops by 50% a year later. They can't understand that. They can't predict it. It just looks to them like you've stopped doing what you are paid to do, rather than the truth which is you stopped doing what you were paid to do 2 years ago and you didn't jump ship before the consequences showed up.
Now do this for branching strategies.

This is amazing. Humans should only need to read commit messages, never write them.
we don't actually have anti-trust laws, we have laws against the abuse of monopoly power, a standard that can be difficult to prove and well after the commission of the injustices. I think there is sufficient theoretical and practical experience to have anti-trust laws simply be anti-market concentration.

I'm arguing for it because it's an example of "third way" regulation, regulation that should be embraced by left wing socialist and right wing capitalists.

> * Geometric Algebra for Physicists, by Doran and Lasenby. I found the power and elegance of geometric algebra mesmerizing, and even if this book is also about physics and there may be more appropriate math-only books about geometric algebra, this is the one that made it for me.

I've tried to read several of them, and, sadly, I feel most geometric algebra books fail at explaining it. It's a shame as it's part of what kindled my interest in pure mathematics and I still feel I'm nowhere nearer understanding it despite working through several other mathematics textbooks, including just plain algebra. But, it did spark my interest and now I've moved on to other interesting topics, though Geometric Algebra is still my white whale.
I find commit messages have more value when they don't just repeat what you can see by looking at a diff but when they explain the reasons behind.

It sounds like you don't understand the basics of payroll tax.

The SS tax that gets deducted from your paycheck is only half the amount. Employers are required to pay the other half.

If you're self-employed, you pay both halves, and that is one of the penalties of being treated as self employed.
You're exactly right about those two problems, and they actually go together quite well. If a user who previously had access to a secret suddenly has that access revoked, you should rotate that secret. Technically that's only really necessary if the user ever actually saw that secret value, but most secret managers don't expose that information.

At Doppler, we're currently in the process of building out our rotation engine[0]. It allows you to automatically rotate secrets with third party providers (including your database) on a schedule you define. We also provide access logs to see exactly who saw what and when. The ultimate goal is to automatically rotate your secrets as users' access changes. And if you get notification of a breach, you can rotate everything with a single click.

It’s the duty of the court to maintain the public’s trust in the institution: without that trust the law doesn’t matter very much. This court has not been doing that very well, as evidenced by sharp changes in the opinion polling. This leak, evidence that justices are sharing unpublished opinions with interested parties, and the current weak-tea investigation are only part of the problem. But they’re big problems.
