Seattle has a mix of these. In my neighborhood, the closest supermarket has a gigantic parking lot. I never think of walking there.
In theory, yes.

In practice, the big companies usually have a ton of vague questionable defensive patents that cover a huge space of "inventions", so even if the smaller companies try to sue, they will get avalanched by an array of patent suits that could potentially bankrupt the company.

Reading a source then writing your own code with the same ideas in mind isn't a derived work and shouldn't need attribution. It will be a crying shame if Copilot output is mired in unwarranted legal trouble with how much of a productivity booster it is.
Also, architectural changes. They describe how ES can't parallelize a query unless it's spread across multiple index shards, which has its own tradeoffs. Their query engine can parallelize a query on a single index shard, which means it scales much more linearly on more cores without having to make those tradeoffs.

What (presumably!) was built as a joke will actually help me a lot. For my side-project (devscreen.io) we have to make lots of realistic coding tests and pull requests with bugs in them for candidates to work on as part of a technical interview. It's actually more time consuming than you'd think to intentionally insert bugs into code in a way that isn't super obvious, so thank you!

An effective teacher needs to be able to explain, answer questions and provide examples and guidance.

Assembling "curriculum from outside sources" is not teaching. At best, it is facilitating self learning. Some kids may do ok with this --- but a lot won't.
I actually doubt that. The raw materials in the T would be pretty expensive now. The vanadium steel for the chassis alone would probably cost a grand.
but wait in your parachute analogy a big % of parachutes would have to open and like cut the wearer or hurt them somehow. Deploy a parachute if you are falling from 30,000 feet and your other option is to SPLAT on the ground, sure.

The evidence says this attitude of "it's other people who get phished and not me" is pure arrogance. Practically all sophisticated security professionals can be phished with sufficiently sophisticated attacks, if the underlying system is using a phishable credential.

Your brain does chemically change later in life, especially when you have kids. Apart from that, political parties are coalitions of different groups, and those coalitions (and the parties) change as the salient issues change. COVID was a good example of this, where the “fuck the establishment” types Trump recently brought into the GOP clashed with the “conformity and order” Romney types that traditionally controlled the GOP. My county, which includes Annapolis, went for Romney in 2012 and for Larry Hogan by 38 points, but Biden by 14. The area has a large military officer presence, and their inclination toward conformity, discipline, and order cut differently during COVID than when other issues were more salient.

>> I'm a software developer and worked most of my career at Microsoft and Google, but I quit in 2018 to found a company of my own.

I like the focus on your frustrations and how you solved that. The quitting part people could take negatively ("is this guy a quitter? will I receive product support if I buy this?").

Everything else looks pretty solid for a SaaS homepage.
I like the idea but my preference would be a hybrid of this.

- Go to the post office, have ID verified, papers verified, pictures taken, GPG keys created multiple so you can revoke one and leap-frog to another without being in an orphaned state, ID card printed that has a GPG signed PDF417 [1] code on both sides and a color picture.

- Lost card? Go back to post office and have them revoke your card and your active GPG key. Get new card that uses one of your unused GPG public keys that have already been uploaded to the various government servers.

- No RFID, no NFC, no Magstrip, no eco-friendly plastic. Make this thing nearly indestructible and only the PDF417 is used by sensors and can be scanned or photographed by someone paying their taxes or filing other government forms.

- Braille dots along top of card to make it easy to find the card and to show which way to hold and insert card in readers that should also have corresponding braille dots.

Honestly, I don't see much of an impact on sales when my blog posts reach the front page of HN. I'm sure that it helps some, but nothing dramatic.

In terms of ROI, there's much better payoff in writing content aimed at the smaller niche of homelab users and IT folks.

They could also just shut off your gas, heat pumps introduce no newfound ability to be authoritarian that isn't already there.
Most people support farmers because they have a romantic idea of "Old Macdonald" instead of modern agri-corps. There is no real reason for someone to care either way in this case. Not that what the average person thinks about a niche, complex, uncertain, issue should matter...
Okay cool. But, none of this addresses the opportunity cost. What happens if you don't hire fast and you miss revenue opportunities.

As the saying goes "revenue solves everything".
I've personally solved it by striving to care less about what other people think. I realize that doesn't work for everyone in all circumstances, though.
Yup, my bad. TY
> Apple's underlying economics haven't changed, so they have not had any reason to over-hire in the first place.

The bloomberg article has a visual showing revenue-per-employee going up from 1.17M/employee (2017-2019) to 2.51M/employee (2020-2022), so ... some of the underlying economics changed somehow?
Not listed

- cost of bureaucracy, organizing large companies takes complexity (arguably too much of it, and often useless) and that transpires in processes that take time during which people dont produce and therefore require more people.

- cost of compliance, big companies are more visible and their footprint being larger means more chances for fuckups. The mechanism by which they compensate is lots of security, privacy, compliance checks that add up to the bureaucracy, and requires more people to achieve anything

- cost of limited options. Big companies usually have less options they can pick for. They have standardized software stacks, access to additional software is either blocked or requires time expensive negotiation.

- cost of hidden incompetence. It's easier for incompetent people to hide, and they have opportunities to move around. Managers don't like to fire, and in larger companies they will have lower accountability (not my money) and higher opportunity (easy to hide) to overlook incompetence and keep the bad people around until they transfer. (that is, of course, unless the company has forcing functions like stack ranking and quotas to fire people - such as Amazon - which is arguably an entire other and worse problem). These people don't produce anything, or are even detrimental, and therefore require more people

I love the idea of Elixir, but I just can't get into it because of its weird choice of sigils. |> for pipes and <- for assignments, seriously? I seriously dislike programming languages which choose two character sigils for basic operations. I also heavily dislike |x| in Rust.
> The way “supermarkets” are in the US, I don’t WANT to be a 15 minute walk from one. They are usually surrounded by a mile of blacktop and concrete, for all the drive-in shoppers in the front and all the trucks offloading goods or picking up deliveries in the back.

I live in a walkable Seattle neighborhood. Accordingly, the "supermarkets" are not quite the mega-large stores they are in other parts of the city, and they have smaller parking lots accordingly.

This is a generalization, but as a rule, Seattle is laid out on a grid system, and every 5 blocks there is a larger 2 lane road where the speed is 25 MPH instead of 20MPH. Grocery stores are generally on the corner of those larger blocks.

> Would much rather be near a decent small or midsize grocery

In my experience, prices are higher and the selection is very limited, so living near one of those doesn't present much benefit to me.

Which is my next point, despite living walking distance to 3 grocery stores, I still typically drive a mile away to a larger store because prices there are 2/3rds to 1/2 what they are at any of the stores close to me.
There are more resources available to homeschoolers

Resources still need to be chosen and applied effectively. What happens if the parent/teacher doesn't understand the subject and isn't qualified to make these decisions?

The underlying assumption here --- parents are just as qualified as trained teachers --- in every subject. This is almost certainly not true in many of not most cases.

How about we give home schooling parents a test of some sort to determine if they have what it takes to be an effective teacher of a particular subject?
I briefly read that article, I saw marketplace and thought it is like Walmart marketplace. I buy on Aliexpress from reputable sellers and I find it better than buying on Amazon. At least reviews are not faked.
To add on to this discussion, the scale matters too, and this is something many people tend not to factor in.

Copilot breaks the assumptions about the lossy nature of human memorization, so a lawsuit challenging the merits of the activity is at least warranted.

That's kind of the way it is. Most of the core utils are thin wrappers around C libraries.

In my humble opinion open offices were designed so that employees would self police each other in order to minimize the need to micro-manage. If this is unethical is another matter , considering that most people are too lazy to work on hobbies outside of work and they prefer to be slobs watching TV... not much would get done leaving most people to their own devices in private offices....

Regarding the open office ... Everyone can see your computer screen. At any moment someone can be watching what type of face you're making and if you are working hard or dozing off.

Everyone is scared of raising their voice or talking in case you disturb others or others hear you.

Everyone can see when you arrive and what time you leave, what you wear.

Now if we lived in a land of plenty and profit did not matter, then it would be tragic that people are stuck in that hellish environment instead of having their own private office and peace of mind.

However.. when you consider why people do not have hobbies and are lazy... it becomes quite tragic in the here and now... because you have to think of Schools in our society and are they really for the benefit of children or to train them to work and to demotivate them towards life itself ?

People are forced to regurgitate things in a depressing, boring and oftentimes hostile environment (in the sense of their future being on the line if they do not submit to this torture) and in a place that resembles prison blended with an open office... from the age of five ... starting off fun with plenty of toys and play time in kindergarden club ... for most of their childhood becomes increasingly horrible when they are stuck in the grind. Does your own experience not make you feel rage at the time you lost ?

The tragedy of human effort as a whole is that 90% of corporate jobs in their current form are designed to exist in this way simply as a way to put humans into a hellish environment five days a week which they have been trained to accept and even expect all with plausable deniability for the elites who consider us nothing but their cattle. They made us slaves that compete against each other for them and police each other into doing it.
This is FUD. I live in climate zone 5 in a 100 year old house that has high heating demands and our air source heat pump has been awesome, even when it dipped into the negatives briefly this year. Our heat pump is over 100% efficient down to 0F.

Seattle isn't remotely dense. Maybe a neighborhood here & there, but it's largely single family homes for most of the city.

The definitions you use match the recent failing crypto exchanges behavior. They completely obfuscated what they were doing. They had made loans if hard crypto assets to other companies, other exchanges, and either refused to describe the situation or outright lied about it.

That's what the supermarket in Lower Queen Anne looked like when I lived in Seattle.
Yes, a woman.

I see what you mean. I tried out a few dating apps and it was surprising how many messages were coming in from different directions. I just didn't have the time or energy to talk to all these people at once. I wasn't swiping on many people at the same time in the first place, but even juggling 2 or 3 conversations would be too much sometimes (especially if I was already having one really interesting chat with someone else, that kind of got all my attention). This resulted in some contacts being ignored, especially if all I got from them was a "Hey" or something, which unfortunately only contributes to the demoralizing aspect of not being replied to.

One app where I didn't feel that pressure was Bumble. At least at the time the rule was that on Bumble, women had to message first (not sure if it still works like that?) I liked that because it created a slower pace - I was able to swipe on people whose profiles I liked, but then take more time to initiate the conversation once matches came in. That also made me more selective about who I matched with; knowing I'd have to approach them, I'd look for profiles that had some especially interesting or unique information for me to use for an opener (because I didn't want to be one of those people just sending "hey").

So that "I message first" aspect was what made me prefer Bumble specifically. Less potential bombardment seemed to create a more slow-paced, thoughtful, selective experience.

I ended up only going on 4 dates from my dating app experimentation, one of whom became my current boyfriend. By "smooth process" in my previous reply I suppose I was mostly thinking about this part. I went into it because I hadn't really dated before. I mostly just wanted to meet interesting people and see what it's like to actually go on a date, not so much for a relationship. There are so many horror stories related to safety, meeting jerks, meeting people who didn't look like their profiles, etc. Everyone I met was luckily a really decent guy and I had no bad dates, even if it didn't go anywhere.
Did you know that installing a heat pump doesn't magically cause fireplaces in the house to stop working? Or that if you're concerned about being cut off from electricity because of your low "social credit score" the heat pump will run just fine off solar panels and batteries?

I fail to see why any typical use of XML _needs_ XSD, XPath, or XSLT. You certainly don't need XSD validation. It is trivial with stream processing to detect, skip over, and report on elements that shouldn't be there and every general purpose XML alternative has exactly the same issue, if not a worse one through use of eval style import of objects of questionable provenance.

Then you have no idea what your object structure now imported natively in your language contains, and you would have to post process it for vulnerabilities using introspection to find out.

In my view there just is no substitute for careful analysis of data submitted by any third party, and parsing an object into a tree structure and validating it after the fact is a questionable practice with untrusted data from anywhere. It may consume an arbitrary amount of resources before you have any idea whether the data in question bears even a passing resemblance to what it is supposed to be. If you have untrusted data you really shouldn't be using an unrestricted DOM constructing parser or eval style processing at all.
“No” is a complete sentence. As is “No, I didn’t bother looking, assumed, then got caught with my pants down when my assumptions were proven wrong with… 5 seconds of looking at it”.

Next time, maybe actually take the most cursory of looks at what something is before going off and assuming. It will help save you from looking like a complete fool.

> thing called HTML which of course was a bit lacking in specification and uniformity at the time.

HTML was actually pretty well specified except for one crucial omission: How a user agent should treat invalid HTML. XML simply declared that a user agent should stop processing and report an error - something you can get away with when you don't need to worry about backwards compatibility. Unfortunately this left XHTML dead in the water.
Hrm. This is an ad, but is nonetheless news to me. I do have over 500 Mailchimp contacts for my community theater.

I haven't seen that email from Mailchimp, but it might have escaped my attention. I'll have to go looking for it. They certainly didn't call my attention to it when I visited the site a few days ago.

My case is kind of on the bubble. I know that with ~800 users and sending ~1 email/month, I'm using actual resources... but also that I'm not costing very much. Any paid price tier is almost certainly aimed at people using much more resources than me, and is priced accordingly.

I don't mind paying for services that I use, but in a case like mine the overhead of paying is going to be more than the actual service cost.

I think the basic tier at about $10/month is probably worth it. But I will look into switching to somebody willing to be more generous.

Oh I have a question for the community here about heat pumps. I have three mini splits that I use for AC but connecting them to a home hub is bananas amount of work and inconsistent (Mitsubishi brand). I wish there was a legitimately good, robust system to connect AC units to my smart thermostat (Ecobee) or even some of the other devices I have.

It still feels the wild west for home energy systems - and the costs are quite high for the value they provide.

1. There was recently a statement released by a member of the Consumer Product Safety Commission saying they were considering regulating indoor pollution from natural gas stoves. This lead to a bunch of outrage and claims that Natural Gas was going to be banned at a Federal level. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/01/1...

2. Cites like NYC have implemented bans or limits on new gas installations, and it has been proposed at the state level as well. Other cities such as Chicago have had conversations regarding this issue, at least enough for it to get into the news and spark minor outrage.

Because of these recent controversies there has been much talk about Heat Pumps and whether or not they are able to function efficiently or sufficiently in sub zero temperatures regularly seen in the upper Midwest or North East.
