Wasn't there a post a few days ago from the actual paper saying that the core used to rotate a tiny bit faster than the rest of the Earth, and now rotates a tiny bit more slowly? Like, order of fraction of degree per year differences?

I don't think the issue with spaces is primarily about selection; it's about parsing.

They almost certainly have income tax - I can't speak to it though (we chose a different suburb nearby). Many of the cities do have an income tax and property taxes are quite high (I pay $1k/mo on a mid six figure home).

The full-load is still ~half of CA though, in my experience
I heard of an interesting case. A red-haired friend of mine who was born in Russia and, after living in Japan for many years, took Japanese citizenship was detained and questioned when trying to enter Canada on her Japanese passport. The Canadian immigration authorities were suspicious because she didn't look Japanese to them.

She said that she has never had any trouble entering Japan on her Japanese passport.

Those problems should be solved locally and often have no right to be influential on the national level. The fact that some areas are heavily invested in fossil fuel shouldn't cause the nation to stop a transition to renewables, but that's what seems to be happening a lot in the US.

In stead, at a national level, a transition can be started and budget can be created to support the states that will be negatively affected. The way that budget is handled locally will then depend on local politicians who can be voted on and need to show that they're actually doing the right thing locally.

Right now, national level politicians can get reelected locally because they're just obstructionists that want nothing to ever change. They'll never actually have to do anything except fund raise and pretend to care about their constituents by blocking anything those constituents don't like. It's a great way for a couple of people to make lots of money while killing the country.
Why do you assume this?
I'll make an extreme comparison:

"Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror"

If you make some idiotic financial decision near the bottom of the management tree, such as... over hiring, you'll likely lose your job or get demoted.

Do it as a CEO, and get a huge bonus.

It was my reply, I know what I meant. While it could've been written more precisely, I'd expect the HN crowd to practice steelmanning instead of arguing phrasing in order to be right for the sake of being right.
It's easy to throw shade when Bloomberg writes an article that puts the blame on "a staffer". Having worked near some of these systems, the engineering and process are actually quite good. How many companies publish their private network topology, service p99.9 in microseconds, and detailed pricing on the open web? They're in a painfully competitive global market that's ambivalent to names on buildings.

In a week or so there will be a comprehensive internal post mortem, and every engineer in the company will read it because that's why they work there. "The staffer" will not be named, nor will they be fired. The process will be changed. The systems will be changed. You probably haven't heard of Pillar, but the NYSE in your head was replaced by some pretty amazing, distributed, low latency systems. The culture is to over-engineer, over-provision, plan for black swans. And test. That it works. Test that it scales. Test that backups work. Test, test, test. firmitatis, utilitatis, venustatis. This failure was due to daily testing.

Sometimes things still fail. That's true anywhere. In most places your failures don't make the papers, and accidents are swept under the rug. That doesn't happen at NYSE for obvious reasons. They're not building large language models (that I know of), or self driving cars (pretty sure on this one), but they're a modern, cutting edge, "soft" real-time engineering shop.

Fight Club was published in the 90s. That book was responsible for getting a lot of people to read a novel who had previously not been interested in reading.

Also, American Psycho deserves a mention.
I find this annoying and possibly less secure. In addition to the inconvenience of now having to use two messaging apps, how will it work if you exchange numbers with someone, and you both use Signal but neither explicitly mentions it. That is almost always the case in my experience. By default I send a regular SMS, and it's a happy accident when it turns into a Signal message instead. Will this change result in two signal users exchanging plain SMS instead because neither mentioned they use Signal? That seems less secure than the current configuration. Of course, I am in the U.S. and there's no difference in cost to me between an sms and data message.

But (I'm assuming) they're not journalists whose _job_ it is to _understand_ and report on events in Germany. So I think the OP's critique is valid in that context.

Edit: Also, you can get by perfectly without knowing the local language in some cities on the continent, such as Berlin (Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo would be others). That is not true of Tokyo unless you're staying in an expat bubble. I spent 6 years in Beijing, and you had the expats who didn't know Chinese and all lived in one section of the city where you could get by on English alone, but that section most definitely did not represent the rest of China or provide a deep understanding of the country and its people.
Good news is I will be able to ask GPT-like models to summarize me all these articles and I won't have to sift through them.

That community is the one where your kids will grow up and adopt at least some if not most of the values of.

You are deliberately deciding to exclude yourself from it, which is likely to have bad consequences for you and your kids (since you won't be competent to help them).
yeah i kind of thought the entire point was that dan harmon has a very particular view on what fiction is and how it works. He then deconstructs this in every episode. In season 3 he starts deconstructing what television is. In season 4 he starts deconstructing his own theory of story telling. In season 5 he deconstructs the universe he created. the cleverness of the show comes from it's constant deconstruction of storytelling and each iteration doing it in a different way is what makes it work. And i would say the difference between this show and Community is that nobody seems to tone down this deconstruction in any way.
People need to adjust their expectations and goals.

Is your goal to make content that goes viral that you can monetize and make lots of money with? Consider video. Are you trying to get your word out? Blogs are great and will never die.
Hardware is repairable, difficulty depends on the mode of failure but if the port itself is faulty that's a pretty easy fix most of the time as long as you can get your hands on a suitable replacement which are (usually) pretty cheap
I wonder if this article is written also with AI help? For instance ChatGPT usually ends the last paragraph with "Ultimately". As a side note I've also seen sites use SEO by writing possible search terms into the article itself.
Also it could possibly remove the (dreaded) on call aspect of it.

I think a lot of business owners would be relatively happy with automated instant answers, or get carefully considered answers in a week.

Services like Gumroad can have zero discoverability because other services have decent discoverability. So somewhere, discoverability is a crucial service and it's probably best to have control over that rather than assuming a third party service will continue as-is.

Take Twitter for instance, prohibiting the promotion of other platforms. This impacted discoverability for a lot of people because they relied on Twitter as the funnel to get people to patreon/gumroad/their site/etc. Apparently that policy at Twitter is now gone but you get the point.

I don't fully agree with the above idea that discoverability is the main problem however when it comes to blogging. Tumblr solved that for a long time (although now discoverability is a bit rubbish), most still don't use Tumblr so there are greater factors at play here.
As a bank, your agreements are with the actual humans, and your duty is to protect their money.

The fact that you choose to use usernames and passwords to authenticate humans is your choice. It is well known that humans don't secure passwords well (reuse, writing on postit notes, etc). As a bank, any losses attributable to someone evil finding/guessing a password are your own.

That's why credential stuffing counts as a breach. Even though most banks will try to tell you that it's your responsibility to protect your passwords, the law doesn't see it that way.

I think this should not be a problem with the proper compliance certifications (SOC 2, PCI, etc.). Similar logic applies to Auth0 and even using cloud computing, for that matter.
You seem to be the one subject to taboos. You don't want to say what you mean by 'French' or 'non-French'.

Maybe I should reduce some of my earlier entries. I've still got my entire work history on my CV. I worked on a specific CMS from 2004-2008, and I still get asked for gigs related to that CMS (even if the version I worked on is nothing like the current version). I worked on a PHP problem for 3 days once, and put it in mostly as an example that I can quickly adapt to new languages, but some people actually want to hire me for a pure PHP project.

But it’s absurd. Companies are not supposed to only ever hire.

Some things are cyclical and you need more people for some amount of time, and then you find you need less. It’s not always predictable/seasonal like farming or holiday rush.

Is it wrong for a company to respond to market effects? That there was a layoff isn’t necessarily a sign a company did anything wrong… I think how they actually do the layoff certainly can be done well or poorly.

Not at all. Bangladesh, where I’m from, has computers too, but its government, institutions, infrastructure, constitution, etc., are still what Bangladeshis and the British created. Society is a product of culture, and culture runs deep and is extremely sticky.
In Andy Weir's /Artemis/, the Moon in on Kenyan time, because that's where all the rockets take off from. This is in turn because they had land on the equator and created something like a Shenzhen (low or no tariffs, friendly regulation for foreign capital, etc.) for space launches.
The whole system is utterly broken. It benefits a few at the top, while heavily disenfranchising the 99%. It's literally a race to the bottom, chasing a "free market" that will never truly exist, and would cause immense damage to the world (even the highly regulated and captured "free market" we claim exists nowadays is accelerating our collective demise). "Everything not forbidden is compulsory."
Wow, it's 5 years old.
For me it was just a weigh-in after a long gap. Thankfully I caught my weight gain before it reached 'overweight' and then dropped back well into the lower/middle of the healthy range.

Intermittent fasting and cutting all junk food, running and gym to preserve muscle and accelerate weight loss (<10% BF). It was much easier as I don't drink.

Realising it's mostly about what you eat for weightloss/gain, I've taught myself to come to terms with how much an item of food would take to work off again, and I have no interest in eating crisps/ chocolates/ ready meals/ fast food knowing how much extra it gives me than I need.

I weigh myself every day now and use weekly rolling averages to work out if I'm deviating from my ideal weight, but generally after any bigger-than-usual meal (celebrations, social meals) I try to undo it the same day through a heavy workout in the evening/night.
On the heyday of trying to cater devs into WinRT, Microsoft had a couple of projects:

- Project Astoria[0], for porting Android apps

- Project Centennial[1], for porting Win32 apps

- Windows Bridge for iOS[2], for porting iOS apps

Project Astoria was later rebooted into WSL, and now with Windows Subsystem for Android we are back at Astoria's original goal.

I don't imply that there is a solution.

We will simply create a second system (B) to monitor the first system (A). Now we have two systems to maintain. System B will not be capable of steering A by itself. So we still need to know how to diagnose and repair A, and we also need to know about B too. Maybe system B can talk to a Prometheus/Grafana stack (if it's up). And that can put alerts into Slack (which we ignore because there's always alerts in Slack). And after standup we can take turns looking at graphs with consternation.

> Stuff like this will happen more and more. We treat software driven systems rather recklessly.

That sentence is where I go when I hear the word 'automation'.
> So they replaced the space with a character that is effectively identical

I don't think that's the reason. The reason was ease of parsing. It's harder to write a token recognizer if spaces are allowed in identifiers and distinguish them from type names and reserved words.

ALGOL-68 famously did allow spaces in identifiers, e.g. https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Boustrophedon_transform#ALGOL_6...
That sounds a bit odd. Sound is coherent motion of the conducting medium, whereas motion of gas molecules is random. I always associated the increased speed with reduced density, and hence reduced "inertia" with increasing temperature.
Anecdotally, I used to love Chipotle, but I won't eat there anymore after having several bad experiences with bland food and undercooked rice at multiple locations.
Sorry, cannot edit original comment. As an ESL I fell into a classic “false friends” trap. I meant “paradox”, not a “controversy” (that in English usually means something akin to “bad rep”).

I think there’s a very big distinction between the usefulness of English for travel vs living in a country. Sure, English is a great for tourism, but outside of that I would not say it’s as useful as a lot of English speakers like to say. As someone who moved to Spain, I would say it’s pretty much impossible to get by (living) here with only English.
Their punishment is in bearing the shame of having been wrong. That’s the price of leadership.

I‘m trying to learn Django just for this kind of MVP purposes. I also did a small mini project in RoR by following their documentation. Is there anything that is significantly easier to do in RoR vs. Django? Alternatively, is there anything, say, on a larger scale that I can do with RoR that I cannot do in Django if the project grows? These are the questions I‘ve been wrestling with quite a bit now. After learning Vue and React.js and having used and being cognizant of Next, Nuxt, Supabase, Firebase and all that other stuff, I‘m looking to become a bit of a better developer by understanding the intricacies of traditional monoliths and how problems are solved on the backend. I‘d also like to be able to serve predictions and host ML models in production. Likewise, if my MVPs catch on, I’d like to retain majority of my ”IP” by the means of Django or RoR. Any intuition perhaps on my above questions? Thx!
IMHO some regulation and especially entry barriers had good ideas but their con overwhelm the pro nowadays (think barriers such as foreign doctors need to re-study X years and re-practice Y years, or you simply cannot take certification exams if you do not come from Z school, or technically you may lose insurance claims on your house if you do some repairs but do not have certification K).

Since the world is already running like that, IT people should join the fun, otherwise we simply get screwed by other interest groups who are protected by those barriers. Since every one of those barriers simply increase the cost of whole society for the benefit of whoever behind them, we should setup our own barriers. If you do not graduate from a CS/SE degree you cannot take certification exams, and if you don't then you cannot do programming legally. We should increase further the cost of whole society to make everyone else realize the absurdity of those barriers.

I have had to stop getting too-excited (i.e. demonstrating what 85%+ this technology can do) because it incites concern towards my well-being from peers that I know genuinely do love me. "You're 'manic' " is a terrible response to somebody holding out there handing, trying to show you the future: "I can only show you the door, Neo; you have to open it." The human hostility that smarter people are showing towards this is simple-minded, certainly. Wrap your heads around it folks; I'm here if you have any (good or bad) questions.

The more friends, the merrier!

A brother even questioned with significant concern that it is scary how much "loners" tend to enjoy this technology; I had to explain that I (a "loner") have more actual friends than he, and that one wife cannot replace all these supposed friends that everybody is supposed to have — 400,000,000 people in the world readily admit to not having even a single friend.

I have a few trusted friends, and it seems the "less techie" the friend, the more rapidly they are able to understand this.

After playing with ChatGPT -projects for about six weeks, I can assure you the creativity is a "unhuman" activity, rare even among homo sapiens; and that most flesh-carrying meatbags are more machine-like than readily admitted.
