$28k if I take the first offer from Costco Auto, and the mid-Atlantic region isn’t exactly the cheapest.

Compare to $41k average for mid-sized pickup trucks or $60k for full-sized and you could make a fair number of rentals. Since most of the ones I see are in showroom condition I am skeptical that the p75 owner would come anywhere close to that many over the life of the vehicle. The people I know who actually need them don’t need you to guess about this - one look at the truck is enough.
Wow that's really fascinating. I wonder what sorts of properties allow geologists to characterize sand to that level

Also wonder how effective it is. Especially nowadays in such an interconnected world where products, and especially sand, could be coming from the opposite side of the globe

The OP is crapping on people who find Rust hard to learn by broad-brushing them into the "bad programmer" bucket. It's a hallmark of Rust zealots, and one reason why the Rust community has such a bad name. Which is a shame because the language is decent and useful.

It's always tech-adjacent types that drop these crap takes from what I've seen. Maybe they're threatened as SWEs are last to go when LLMs can generate code - someone has to check it; we just won't need two PMs, scrum lord and a BI attaché for that...

Every modern CAD tool like those commercial ones I have mentioned automatically track the paramaters as you build a model from scratch. They are parametric models by default. At any point you can go back and edit a number in the tree and the model will attempt to update as if you have used that value in the beginning. It's hard to explain this if you are not familiar with how those programs work.

I'm not talking magic here. What I'm saying is, I'd like the ability to read the model file as text outside the CAD package, and edit and compile (update) exportables in a scripting languge. Again, what I am saying is actually already the way many tools, like Catia and NX, etc work... but they lack an external API/callable module in an external language (Catia can be scripted with VB script, blegh.) And nothing that is FOSS.
Streaming SSR, as I understand it, does not keep a session alive on the server, so if you make interactive components they will still run in the browser.

So I think it's more like Hotwired, because it keeps a session alive on the server, but it's declarative like React, so you just return whatever you want rendered and the VDOM will generate patches for the browser.
The continued decay of search quality will be painful, as the economics make "good" consumer-oriented results uneconomical. I also fear whatever monetization approaches Google comes up with in search of margin. Corporations do really dumb things in service of monetization (see Hasbro / Wizards of the Coast with the D&D controversy of late).

This allows you to follow Twitter people from ActivityPub. Twitter doesn't federate (it doesn't even allow third party clients at this point) but this bridge will do all of the federation work for Twitter.

Basically, if you want to follow Twitter user @barbazoo, you search for @barbazoo@bird.makeup and hit follow. Their tweets will show up in your client as if they were sent through ActivityPub.

This service can poll/subscribe to Twitter users or search for posts actively, then turn the results into ActivityPub posts.

I run a walled-off version of BirdSiteLive, which this is based off, that does the same thing (but uses the Twitter API which will probably shut down soon). I guess I'm going to have to migrate.

What is really astonishing is the denialism that Mozilla as an organization, and it's individual employees and contributors, engage in, along with the associated toxic positivity and emotional abuse heaped upon the userbase.

Mozilla has made a number of obvious mis-steps, but not only is there virtually no acknowledgement of the negative impact of these mis-steps, but they are often falsely lauded as successes, when they are obviously massive failures.

The user is then confronted with language typically associated with emotional abusers, such as "We know how much you love Firefox!". Googling the words "you love" against Mozilla's website turns up hundreds of bizarre examples.
I was wondering why the article adds nothing to the title.

There are some good examples of why that's not sufficient in Russ' blog post, which is worth reading. They include performance regressions that may not be immediately visible, understanding cache utilization, and better optimizing the toolchain for real-world machine configurations. It's worth reading his article for a better understanding of the goals here:

For further context: CoinTracker enabled "Per Wallet Tracking" by default for users [1], which means transfers between an exchange and a cold wallet would be taxed as a sell transaction.

CoinTracker alleges this was done to comply with upcoming regulations in the US. But in practice the new bill [3] doesn't say that you need to pay taxes when moving between your wallets. It just says the exchanges should issue a 1099 with these movements, so you may get audited due to the discrepancy, and will need to prove you really own the cold wallet. I'm fine with that.

Obviously this created havoc for users, which protested very loudly [2]. They eventually brought back "Universal Wallet Tracking" as it was before, but... they completely screwed up all previous data, including previously matched transactions, and cost basis. In some cases for hundreds or thousands of transactions.

Earnings reports already filled with the IRS may have to be reprocessed and re-submitted, and taxes (+ fines and interest) paid accordingly, or you'd be running the risk of not having the data to prove your calculations in case of an audit.

It's incredible how bad they handled this situation.

I agree with the sentiment of every response I've read to your comment so far. The agressive tactics, paywall, general sense of sleaze all make me actively avoid following medium links.

But even ignoring all that, medium is the worst place for any article about programming because the code blocks do everything to make it harder to read them. There's no syntax highlighting, the lines wrap and the container the code is in pads the text to make a narrower column than the body of the article.

That's the opposite of what I want. Especially on mobile! It's one of the sites that make me wonder if its developers have ever tried using it.

Absolutely not. I finish probably 15% of the articles I encounter. I click links all the time. If that’s what I’ll pay, I’ll expect much more expertise than some random dude writing “Vue vs X” or whatever.

Except the way the fediverse works, instances can ban instances, and there are parasocial lists set up to keep track of “bad mastodons”, and if your instance allows people to follow anyone from a “bad” instance you are also bad and refused federation, effectively locking you out of the network.

That’s what makes mastodon so insidious. If you (as a mod) allow anything that other instances disapprove of, you and your site is excluded.
I have yet to hear a convincing threat model for this actually representing a vulnerability. I don’t think there is one.
There are two types of writers - professionals and amateurs. Professionals want to earn money on their writing - so they are happy with paywalls. Amateurs have no hope to earn money but want their writing to be distributed as wide as possible - so paywalls make them sad. Professionals also want their work to be read - but they understand that paywalls are the only way to make people pay for their work.

Medium tried to make two of these groups happy and that is difficult. Both need many of the same tools - like nice looking templates, easy editing, comments and also recommendations - so there is a lot of investments that could be used by both groups and there is also a lot of synergy between these two - but they need to be monetized differently.

I think it is too early to say that Substack has found the good model - they managed to attract the cool guys - but Medium was also fashionable for a little while. But right now Medium needs a total rebranding.

Now compare that to the 800+ indigenous Aleutians that were interned during WW2, many of which died in the American concentration -- err, I mean internment -- camps. The Aleutian people were also legal citizens of the US.

Edit: some more info. 881 Aleuts were gathered up, endured slave labor, and 118 died from lack of food, warmth or medical care. All extremely preventable as is evidenced by the camp just 30 miles away of around 700 Nazi POWs. All 700 returned home alive and in good health. Historian Stan Cohen even wrote, "All in all, the German imprisonment in Alaska was quite pleasant."

> Also, engineering managers absolutely have endless work to assign to new hires

Assuming there isn't a sharp dropoff of the ROI on the work juuuuust past the point where the current team can tackle it, that means that the work in the backlog is valuable and worth paying for. By chopping people they are saying actually, this work doesn't need to be done. Whether that work needs to be done or is valuable has not magically changed. That means the company was wrong all along about whether the work in the backlog was worth doing, and had all along had too many people on the team -- despite painfully fighting for headcount to get that work done, and despite careful calculus about which teams to spend budget on, all those managers were basically categorically wrong all along. How can we reconcile all that?
My point was that (at least some) standard US tax software rounds to dollars on intermediate results, apparently permitted and required by the IRS.

...while financial institutions send reports to clients and the IRS that have the totals rounded only at the end, meaning the things that are supposed to match don't and can't.

Even though they are both in dollars, they are not consistent even to the nearest dollar.

> No, you aren’t burdened. The bulk of humanity is, though.

I look forward to somebody demonstrating that. The author of the article, a domain expert, thinks otherwise.

> And FTX was just a massive, traditional fraud. Literally nothing to do with Cryptocurrency, other than as the medium of the fraud.

Other than the medium, the culture, the community, the domain, and the regulatory vacuum of cryptocurrency. So a great deal to do with it. And it's not as if it's an outlier for the space.

If it's really the burden you are concerned about, you might look again at cryptocurrency. The burden just to use it is relatively high. Then there are the higher caveat emptor burdens. And then we get to the vast, vast sums lost through volatility, exchange costs, user error, incompetence, fraud, and theft. Being upset about KYC/AML and not about that is a situation of motes and beams.

> As we read this, let us reflect that this reasonable and mature position resulted in a ~2% market share

I would disagree.

Many other changes together lead to this outcome.

Many by Mozilla, some not by Mozilla, some you could say Google actively abusing their power to sabotage them.

AFIK the amount of people stopped using Firefox because of XUL isn't to big, you could say a vocal minority.

The problem is compatibility with websites in aspects unrelated to XUL, mostly due to it being way to hard to be bug and feature compatible with chrome and even back then most web applications being written for chrome only.

Two major pain points which make people stop using Firefox would be 1) media support, which partially is the fault of stupid patent issues and partially because programs relaying too much on non standardized aspects 2) CORS, mainly due to Chrome last minute deciding not not implement the standard as standardized and forcing an exception into the standard to still be compliant.

The 2nd point is I think the most common reason I run into cases of web sides not working at all. While I very well do understand that Mozilla devs don't want to make their browser less secure, I don't think they have any other choice and should have done so years ago.

The 1st point is complicated as it involves patents to codecs and the pain of video codec drivers as well as companies like Slack or Teams refusing to even _try_ to work with Firefox when it comes to video calls even through it should work in most cases. This is a major problem and against all best web practices (also a lot of smaller companies which have way less resources have Firefox support for such use cases....).

But IMHO the web needs a cut, it's unacceptable that it's way easier to write a production ready new OS from scratch then a browser which is an essential tool.

> It was bad enough that they got it wrong, but then Evan doubled down by dedicating the opening of his next conference talk to mocking the users who were unhappy about the changes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGlzRt-FYto

> The part where he mocks a commenter for asking "Is Evan killing Elm's momentum?" is weirdly prescient, given that these events ultimately did mark the slowdown of the Elm community. Elm development came to a near halt about a year later.

Wow, that was hard to watch. He takes people being passionate about Elm and discussing potential issues and mocks them.

If I was a proponent of Elm that felt uneasy about its direction at the time, this would have made it easy to walk away from.
I went a bit down this path cause I thought it would be fun to not bring my laptop and only bring the steam deck on trips. It's just unfortunately not very convenient, the laptop clamshell with the keyboard right there and stably attached to the monitor is just so much more handy of a design.

In terms of actual power, once you get the steam deck hooked to an external monitor with whatever peripherals you need like keyboard, it's just fine as a dev device, or for editing photos in dark table or running music production software. And, obviously, for gaming, works well, all in Linux.

In terms of using the onscreen keyboard as a "handheld dev device" I think one of those competitors with a miniature sized physical keyboard built in would probably be better, or there's a whole scene I glimpsed once of people making mini clamshell designs of machines with mini keyboards. The touchpads work ok but it's just infuriatingly slow compared to a keyboard, especially once you start needing brackets, parentheses, etc.
I wrote my comment after seeing that...
that's pretty terrible code in a lot of ways... fixed output location, high cpu usage, repetitive code, the list goes on and on.
This is an unmanned device so it doesn't have the same safety concern. Also at the cruising altitude there is so little oxygen it's probably as safe as helium at that altitude.

If anything, war is much more popular in Russia than expected. There are no widespread protests, draft went ok, etc. Putin is still popular.

I do not think oil is such a big problem. China import is 10mln barrels while Russia exports is 5mln barrels, Kazakhstan is 1.2mln barrels. I am sure they can transport Iranian oil if needed. What will also happen is that Russia will buy oil on international market to resell to China. There is no infrastructure now to transport that much oil but it can be built surprisingly fast. Germany just demonstrated that it's possible to built LNG terminal in six months. If you ignore property rights and all enviromental regulation and enlist military you can built trans-asia pipeline in a few months. China can also import oil thru Vietnam.

I blogged on Medium for a while. My most read article hit like 170k reads and the front page here on HN.

The UX on Medium kept deteriorating for readers. Slow loads, annoying modals, etc.

And then Medium did some shitty things with Freecodecamp.

I ended up deleting my account and moving some of the articles to my own blog. In retrospect this wasn't a good move since I broke the URLs and I regret it. But what's done is done.
I've never liked Medium, and your reasons aren't why. It's always been a primary example of building value on someone else's platform. Why? Why should I spend my time building value for you?

The "huge pile of shit" is a primary example of why authors should invest in tools they control and have a direct relationship with their audience. A portable relationship with their audience. As I see it, Medium is in conflict with that.

I'm really hoping that the Twitter fiasco and Medium's "huge pile of shit" will serve as object lessons why creators, publishers, etc. are better off building their own platforms even if it's slower initially.
Too subjective. If server cost is not a problem for the thing you call "multi-page", it is not a problem for server-side rendering either.

Vercel didn't invent server side rendering. It was always there.
Interactive Exploded Views for Molecular Structures
What's special about seeds is they reproduce with a bit of water, soil, and sunlight. My laptop does not and in fact will be very sad if I water it. Thus no matter how many patents Intel has on the things inside my laptop, there's a limit on how much I can ultimately do with the physical device.
In self attention each token creates both "query" and "key" vectors. These are different vectors, so one type of token can look up data for different types of tokens. "Apple" can generated a verb query to look for a verb in the sentence, while also generating a noun key that other words can look for.

And with multi-head attention, a single token can get data from different types of tokens.

The "self" in self-attention just means that it's looking at other parts of the same string, rather than looking at weights generated from a different string.
