Well I'm glad I've discovered HTMx with this thread, I will try it out with my next project, really tired of SPAs and their bulkiness
I'm in the same boat.

I got older so hangovers hurt more but there is definitely an over saturation of beers, brands, and bottles. I'm still loyal to some semi-premium brands when I can find them - but so many smaller breweries put out millions of different brands/flavors/types and I can't be bothered to make space in my brain to remember them (and I'm not interested in Untappd or similar to remind me of how bad my drinking habit is).
If a "real" browser is used that needs javascript to request a jpeg of a size appropriate for the screen.

There might be something that's good enough through css, not sure.
old man alert Back in my day, we wrote ASP.NET that was all server-side-rendered HTML. Once in a while we got REAL FANCY and used JQuery to make PARTIAL HTML requests and update only FRAGMENTS of the page. Hooboy I knew that fashion was cyclical but not tech!
Yes, I also use the old Reddit.

What's funny is that the old Reddit makes use of dynamic loading of content here and there the right way. The "load more comments" of the old Reddit is nice and fast. While the "continue this thread" of the new Reddit is annoying and slow.
His letter explains that he wasn't selling tooling because he feared downstream liability.
Quite a while ago, when duckdb was just a duckling, I wrote an R package that supported direct manipulation of R dataframes using SQL.[1] duckdb was the engine for this.

The approach was never as fast as data.table but did approach the speed of dplyr for more complex queries.

Life had other things in store for me and I haven’t touched this library for a while now.

At the time there was no Julia connector for duckdb, but now that there is, I’d like to try this approach in that language.

I don't think viewing religious tradition as "we don't want to explain our reasoning to you plebs" is doing justice to the religion.

I believe Catholicism does have a reason that is understandable by common folk: since Jesus will resurrect the faithful to be with him in the new heavens, earth, and Jerusalem (which are seen as physical, not an abstract "Heaven" like modern American evangelicals tend to see it), there needs to be a body to resurrect.

(I'm not Catholic and never sure what Catholics actually believe, so I might be wrong here)
When I was doing AirBnB[1] in London, I noticed that the vast majority of London's grocery stores were quite small compared to the stores in America. The small co-op near me is about the size of an average London grocery store, and the selection of stock is poor enough that I really can't get much shopping done there.

London does have larger stores, but it isn't like in America where the average grocery store is, well, huge.

(Obviously some chains such as Asda have larger stores!)

On the west coast at least, American grocery stores are either small like Trader Joe's (Aldi sized I believe), tiny local ethnic stores, or you start getting into larger and larger categories that start at "really damn big" and end up at "you can get lost here".

The "you can get lost here" sized stores typically have much cheaper prices, and families go there on weekends to buy essentials (meat, veggies) to stay on budget.

All in all I'm not saying it is a bad thing, having a higher density of grocery stores is nice, it means going to the grocery store isn't a dedicated trip, but those cheap huge discount stores are very nice to have around.

[1] I like to stay for awhile in the middle of cities so I can actually shop at local stores, cook some food myself, etc.

Yes I came to post exactly this, and found your comment, so will reply instead. The bug doesn't seem to be obscure. It is there in the right place. Someone thinking about checking "why some players are attacked more often?" would probably choose this as the first place to double check, since it is directly related to selecting the player for attack.

Maybe the most occult part of this is figuring out that the unique IDs assigned to the players play a role.
> works with incomplete and incorrect code

I know that this is a standard assumption, but I personally believe that it is a mistake to support this use case. It is a holdover from the batch processing days when getting feedback on your program could take minutes or hours. In those conditions, it was absolutely essential to try and proceed with a partial compilation even in the presence of errors or else iteration would have almost been impossible.

Now we live in an era of fast personal computers. With a language that is designed from the ground up with IDE support/rapid iteration in mind, you can get feedback with every keystroke. Everything is easier to design if you abort immediately on the first error, whether it is syntactic or semantic. Designing a parser with error recovery from syntax errors is a particularly dark art. On some level, you have to resort to guessing. It may work _most_ of the time, but to me there is nothing worse than a tool that is maybe correct.

When you advance past an error all of the code below the error is suspect. To give a trivial example, let's say you rename a function with 100 call sites without some kind of refactoring (automatic or manual). What benefit is there in showing the 100 new failures when the root cause is exactly where your cursor already is? There are cases like this that are even subtler where you are bombarded with downstream error messages that are confusing and taking you away from the actual root of the problem (c++ template errors come to mind). You may as well just gray out everything below the first error and reprocess it only when the error is fixed.

> if every plane crash created a 50-mile diameter exclusion zone that had to be kept off-limits for 50-100 years without extensive decontamination, then we'd think twice

If every reactor accident created an exclusion zone like this that had to be kept off limits for that long, we likely wouldn't use reactors at all.

Most of the nuclear accidents that have happened don't create problems that big, only Chernobyl and Fukushima. There have been hundreds of other incidents, but almost all of those have no after effects at all.

For example, another well known accident was Three Mile Island. There were no detectable health effects from it and the background radiation was increased by 0.5% or so in the immediate area. No exclusion zone required.
Is there anything to worry about the vodka pulling out of the filter, e.g. chemicals? This sounds like an interesting experiment, my (probably ignorant) concern would be that running the vodka though a filter designed for water may do something bad to it. Is it completely harmless?
Austin is like any other place in America. There is a dominant cultural and economic class in America: Coastal Californians. And they will transform and take your things with money. So either you can figure out how to comfortably rise with the tide or you can build a sea wall and they will breach it. You will then be left with complaints of prices and this and that.

Everyone has been warned for ages. They all kick up the usual fuss "No Californians", "stop gentrifying", "X is full". But it doesn't matter. You may not want to give in, but your neighbour will. And then the Californians will take everything around you and mould it in the image they desire.

And you will be left, in your intransigence, to rage against the imperialism of money, but you will be unhappy.
To further add to this, most arguments against the economics of nuclear are kind of dumb and circular. "We shouldn't bother making nuclear cheaper, it's too expensive!"

Meanwhile, we are just supposed to take for granted that unforeseen technology will make energy storage and transport cheaper.
Thats because the price is 5x higher (inflation and power output adjusted) than the 70s plants. Due entirely to overregulation.
It was hard for the journalist to summarize without getting too wordy. Here's how it works.

The game starts and scores like normal pinball. Each playfield also produces a resource [corn|carpentry|medicine|shoes|water] by playing.
The carousel at the head of the game represents resources from others as balls. You need one of each in your carousel to be healthy and capable. These resources expire as you play, and you cannot get a new playfield ball until you replenish them by trading with other players for them.
So you are playing and then having to stop and negotiate with other players.It's got an unpredictable social component.

There is a second round in which everybody is using money and the transactions happen without social complications.

This is mostly explained by just-in-time illuminated signage inside the playfield.

It's fun to play. But it's missing a lot of things the pinball purists care about. It's not designed to be a superior pinball game. It's about getting inside of two different dynamics of production and trade.

Also, the game is in a simplified state at the moment because I ran out of time dealing with the endless challenges. But this are the rules as designed.
Little problems with scrolling but constant updates when a page is resized (changes in layout) - maybe it's worth it...
Yeah, I hear the HTML-only case more from people who were full-stack or backend. Giving up the tooling around SPAs would be hard. I'm not sure what the equivalent is - is there any frontend-specific advice for backend devs that amounts to "wouldn't it be cool if you gave up all your developer tooling?"
Look, if you want some new hardware using latest node it’s expensive. You must sign nice expensive contract with foundry and pay pay pay before anything comes out. It’s risky, there is no guarantee, that all produced chips work as expected. And it’s done in secret for years with insane stress for engineers. They can leak or chip can be a failure. There is no way to get any SoC on the marked in desired quantities for Apple with short lead times. Changing processor was risky for them.
To a first approximation, if the fan is going (and using energy) because the CPU is running hot under load (using energy), doesn’t that give you a hint about battery efficiency?
When companies share their owners beliefs, yes, they've brought politics and religion into the purchase process. I haven't asked them, they've made a public stance. I can't ignore it without giving up my personal morals, which I won't do for a fast food chicken sandwich.
>the Catholic understanding is that the souls in Hell are obstinate in their sin and obstinately do not want to be in Heaven

> turning into an advertisement company

Apple 2022 revenue: $398B[0]

Apple 2022 ad revenue: $4B[1]

It is possible, with a lot of effort, that Apple could go from advertising representing 1% of revenue to maybe 10% over the next 10 years. I don't think that's realistic, but maybe. "Turning into an advertising company" is maybe overstating?

Besides, the whole reason Apple is in advertising is that free-with-ads is an important business model for media and developers, and the other players are pretty horrible. Me, I hate ads and will always pay directly for apps/media, and I don't like what Apple's doing in ads. But I think you're being a little over-dramatic there.

How about glitching a write instruction to overwrite the copy protection register instead?
For years now Google has been shoving the word "AI" into its presentations. Just go through the past GoogleIO and see how many times they mention "AI". All along they've painted a picture of having some grand plan, that they've got something cooking internally that they're perfecting. Maybe some investors even believed it, after all if they're publishing cutting edge papers surely they must have a product backing this as well. And now Microsoft has called their bluff.

And the irony is that if they had simply worked on perfecting standard keyword based information retrieval, the thirst for a LLM integrated search engine would not be as high.
Are you saying that "any day now" and "next 90 years" are the same narrative?
I'm happy that there's someone out there who isn't particularly experienced with alcoholism, genuinely, but your figures are very, very off

$100 a month on alcohol is like, 5-6 low tier cases of beer. That's just 5-6 beers a day. That's alcoholism to be sure, but the degeneracy goes way, way further.

If you work at a liquor store, you'll see the grandma who comes in 3x a week to buy a cheap plastic handle of vodka. Or the guy who buys a 12 pack and two shooters, every single day. Or the new mom who goes from buying 2 bottles of wine a week to 10.
For those mentioning frameworks that update the page by getting HTML from the server and patching it into the page: how do you deal with server-client skew?
I'll take a possibly contrarian position that the growth has been mostly awesome!

I've been here since 2013 and as much as people complain, there has been traffic on the 2 main arteries through Austin since I've been here. Austin is getting a lot more attention and interest from the large coastal cities which is bringing in more investment, interesting DTC/Tech companies that wouldn't have considered it otherwise, etc. Plus, if you are a relatively social person there is more fun stuff to do now than 10 years ago imo

Of course it is getting more expensive and crowded. How anyone would expect otherwise is baffling to me - more people entering any city is going to increase prices and congestion.
The best thing I've read on this topic is from Matt Levine at Bloomberg, restated in his newsletter on Wednesday:
"In general, the chief compliance officer at any company has a dial in front of her that she can turn to get More Crime or Less Crime, and at a normal company — a bank, for instance — her job consists of (1) turning it most of the way toward Less Crime, but (2) not all the way, and (3) acting very contrite when politicians and regulators yell at her about the residual crime. “We have a zero-tolerance policy for crime,” she will say, and almost mean."

I loved Asheron's Call, played it a lot back in the day. My friends and I were in high school at the time so we had absolutely no idea what we were doing, but that didn't stop us from running around the world goofing off. My hobby was making characters with totally insane Run and Jump skills. Once you leveled up enough you could literally leap from one end of a town to the other like Superman, it was extremely funny. The character was awful in all other regards, but I didn't care. I made another character whose sole purpose was to climb to the top of the highest cliff or building I could find, and jump off it. And there were some HIGH places in AC. I miss being able to play MMO's innocently like that rather than trying to min-max every last bit of efficiency out of everything, as embodied by WoW (another game I loved, but for different reasons).

I also really enjoyed the periodic story events that had really dramatic impacts on the world, like the shadow invasion. It was a great game, especially for its time. So thanks for whatever part you played in its creation.
I don't know about revolutionary, but Apple's service revenue alone for 2022 was larger than the revenue of McDonald’s and Nike combined. Things can be wild runaway successes without being revolutionary.

May depend on the part of Boston, my wife used to live there and her area didn't have much, she was either walking a mile or taking the train to a different area.

Different parts of Boston is incredibly varied though, I shouldn't have made a general statement.
> Software contractors were not included in the exceptions to my knowledge.

Software contractors don’t have their own special exception, but would often fall within the Business Service Provider exception; some software contractoes (web designers hired through referral agencies, specifically) would fall into the exceptions for certain workers hired through referral agencies.

And, of course, because of the Supremacy Clause, direct relations with the federal government are not governed by state labor laws, in any case.
i disagree. The theft deterrence feature that apple offer is actually useful and does what it says - deter theft.

I anticipate the opposite happening because devices are becoming more powerful and more power efficient. I own a PS Vita - this is 2012 hardware - and it holds up very well. granted, this is the exception to the rule but there is no reason why an iphone 12 (for example) cannot be repurposed down the line. the hardware is good enough and fairly durable.
> At many institutions, one SAR is a non-event. Two, for a retail client, means one gets a letter saying the bank wishes you the best in your future endeavors and will not bank you anymore. That letter will often mention that this is a commercial decision of the bank and will not be reversed. Some clients receiving that letter will, on attempting to open account at a different bank, get refused because the first bank entered them into Chexsytems as “account closed at bank’s discretion” and the second bank, on reviewing that entry, said “yep, we are not touching this hot potato.”

> Frustratingly, regulators will say “Well, that is the bank’s decision. We didn’t direct them to do that.”, even though the purpose and effect of AML regulations is causing a lot of behavior not specifically asked for. Banks will, meanwhile, say “Our hands are tied. Look at these enforcement actions. Clearly, this is an unacceptable level of risk.” And meanwhile, there is an actual person who has done nothing wrong and now finds themselves somewhere between greatly inconvenienced and frozen out of the financial system entirely.

Why is there so much opposition to "you can't have a bank account anymore because when you had one, one of your checks would bounce almost every week", but so little opposition to "you can't have a bank account anymore for something that doesn't constitute proof of wrongdoing"?
I would love smaller more local schools, but It's worth noting that unfortunately a bunch of the schools have reduced enrollment and the funding is per kid. I don't know how to fix it but I hope it doesn't lead to closing even more schools.
This is me. High Life is now my go-to. I guess the hop-bombs and the trending flavor-blast-du-jour that craft beer descended into just wore me out. And $0.50/can vs $2.50/can sure doesn't hurt.

My entire point was that we should strive for neither. We could half per-capita energy consumption in the US and still consume twice as much as Brazil. If everyone in rich countries stopped being greedy we could easily meet global demands with renewables alone.
You seem to be speaking for ... a lot of people you can't possibly know -- such as me, and every person I work with and deal with on a day to day basis in the Crypto R&D field.

As for Monero -- don't complain, let's bring it mainstream by building something. Specifically: something that state-level interference can't stop, even if they're quivering in rage that it exists!

That's what us "speculators" who code every day on large-scale Cryptocurrency decentralized systems are doing...
Exactly. The most common US-culprit "evidence" brought up is Biden saying "we're going to put an end to Nordstream 2" on the eve of the Russian invasion, which happened immediately; no gas through Nordstream 2. Then there's no evidence in Hersh's piece, based on one anonymous source and a litany of outright fabrications (Jens Stoltenberg being "supreme commander of NATO", Norwegians hating russians??, P-8 not in Norwegian Navy service). On the other hand, there's no direct evidence of Russian involvement, only a history of bold-faced lying to us and blowing up their own pipeline.

This realm is still in the land of almost zero evidence hearsay, and we just do not know yet.
Look, if Apple just made the watch open source with fully-user-upgradable parts and modular CPU + display + battery, and a command line interface, they would reach dozens of new customers.
Long time ago, seeing medium.com links made me think "oh nice, a clean reading experience ahead".

Soon afterwards, it switched to "oh no, not this annoying site again".

I would be surprised to see it thrive.
MDX is microsoft proptech, OLAP is more generic term to define analytical processing (in contrast to transaction processing as in CRUD).

OLAP cube is microsoft's take on OLAP using 90s technologies for tech stacks from 1990s (Windows Server + SQL Server + SSAS).

DuckDB is a modern take on OLAP
No. Two different nulls are unnecessary. Integers are just poorly defined (but are, actually quite handy to have, I'm not against integers). I wouldn't care if there was only one type of integers, or if there were hundreds as long as the definition doesn't leave it up to the program writing the data to define the meaning of the data. It's very similar to the problem of single-byte text encoding, where programs wrote data somehow, and afterwards had to guess how did they write it.
To be fair, the playfields are pretty simple. But it's also my very first game. And it's nuts. I feel pretty happy about how it's worked out.
Thought the same, hoping this actually works out. Interesting they also pointed this out in the paper
It's fascinating how everything that make up civilization is being reimagined as we speak. This is really just the beginning of a new millennium and look at all that's already happened since 2000.
This is an interesting angle I haven't considered before.

I've been working remotely for a few years now and I do agree that there are some issues there, like dedicating some of my personal space to work, the employer basically outsourcing office management to me and saving on rent, but the time savings and lack of distraction are definitely worth it for me.

I guess the lack of personal contact and informal connections will also weaken any labor organizing efforts and might silo people off in a way that many won't even be aware that layoffs are happening, since there's no watering hole where people from different departments mingle and gossip.

Nevertheless, it still beats spending 2 unpaid hours on a bus every day just to get to work.
