> I wish we had more control over sandboxes so we could put some software in solitary confinement with no possibility to write anything anywhere without asking.

I’d like this a lot as well, but expect it to come with the usual griping from devs about desktop OSes improving their security models and/or giving the user more control over what third party software can do. Anything short of full access to everything seems to be seen as tyranny.

I wonder why USDC is currently being used on these blockchains today from all over the world, 24/7 in the billions of dollars daily and has been integrated into business like MoneyGram, Stripe, VISA and Coinbase Commerce and even the United Nations using it for donations and humaritarian aid, who are not 'Nobody'.

"Nobody" is using FedNow 'right now', and there is a obvious reason why nobody outside of the US cannot use and will never use FedNow.
The machine elves got him.
I don't think so. There's this: https://github.com/protomaps/go-pmtiles to get from MBTiles and there's a few xyz folder tree tools to get mbtiles from that structure (e.g., https://pypi.org/project/mbutil/). So you can get there, but I don't know of a good straight-line right now.
In order for that to work, it’d need to be able to switch individual pixels in sequence, one at a time. The display panel would need to be designed for this - current panels aren’t, but as long as a screen position could switch to 100% in about 250ns, a sensor could tell precisely which pixel it’s looking at.
WFH isn't the problem in that case, failing to gauge impact is. There is always a way to gauge someone's impact. Do you seriously walk around the office checking to make sure people are working hard to gauge impact?

At least where I live (Portland) it's the availability of narcan. Ask any first responder. They show up, administer narcan, and before they can even get the person's name the person is gone.
I'm very skeptical of that 43 minutes number. It doesn't make sense as a sum-of-all-time number, but it also doesn't make sense as a average-time number either.

I'd like to hear from Plausible about what that's meant to mean, because as it is I've been ignoring it as possibly a data collection bug of some sort.
I do this by starting an email to whichever programmer I would email for help with that problem.

Usually I don't want to leave any obvious stones unturned, so as I tell them I checked this thing and that thing, usually I discover a few more things to verify, and one of them leads me down the correct path.

This works about 80-90% of the time for me. I rarely need to send the email.
Yes, great summary. Similar to here:

I think the requirement for coupling from spin is due to frame-dragging, where there's basically a shear force to accommodate conservation of momentum on the stress-energy tensor.. or smth, a lot over my head. This coupling in theory goes out to infinity, but wouldn't be significant for small gravitational objects. Very large BHs spinning near lightspeed would couple very far.

From there, the intuition that helps me went like "imagine a rubber band, being pulled apart. Then imagine a pinched point somewhere along its length. As you continue to pull the whole thing, the interior pressure on the pinched part will increase." That's why the interior energy of the BH increases in connexion with the expanding space.
I think that is a fantastic click through rate for something that passively shows on a feed. That's probably about as high as you can realistically get to be honest. Most posts get sub fractions of 1% click through rate.

IIRC, hstore pre-dated jsonb. I'm not aware of any performance differences for the object type but it would be worth checking if you have a heavy workload. jsonb will tend to have better ORM support and it also isn't behind an extension which is a (small) perk
Trying to suggest that "disease" is a positive or even neural term is a giant stretch.

And yes, my exact problem with it is that it is normative. Just because neurotypicals are in the majority does not make them better. Imagine if it were reversed, for example. In my view, the neurotypical fondness for drama is incredibly harmful. Ditto the way neurotypicals not only believe in all sorts of nonsense (UFOs, angels, gods, devils, etc.) but use that as justification for all sorts of dominance-driven behavior, up to and including genocide.

And in practice the normative nature combined with the disease model leads to "medicalization of deviance". E.g., queer people's deviance was medicalized, seen as illness. ANd since they were sick, treatment was necessary, sometimes violently enforced treatment.
Alcoholism is also highly prevalent (at about 6% of US adults). Yet, we don’t have public policy that is phobic of alcohol.

I think a small percentage of people are very susceptible to addiction. It would be a far better idea to improve methods of identifying and treating this subset, rather than denying beneficial treatments to the whole population.

It's not an uncommon viewpoint. But the fact of the matter is that without notifications it is hard to build a habitual trigger loop to re-engage users (a lot of things just fall out of mind and sometimes you'd like a reminder or a notification of something special). If you are careful with what type of, how many, and how you send notifications, then not as many users will disable them.
More targeted training won't do good, but why wouldn't more search help?

My understanding is that gwern above linked solid evidence in the paper for more search not being enough, as in, the model's evaluation NN is so way off target when searching, that realistic amounts of search don't help. Go seems to have many possible moves per position, so the search doesn't go very deep anyway.

> IRL communication that takes seconds to minutes takes 30-40 minutes over a video call.

That sounds like you have communication issues, not technical ones. If it's something that's going to take just a couple of seconds, why are you having a meeting about it? Why are you not just using irc/slack? It _sounds_ like you're saying that you want to return to the office because if everyone is in the office you can just interrupt other people whenever you have a question - which is one of the single most annoying things about being in the office.
sure, if you switch the sql functions for plpgsql functions you can use procedural logic to on each segment and `raise exception` with a custom error message that will get returned to the client
Ya instead you should be at an office so I can just walk over and bug you face to face instead.
I am a Rust fanboy but using it to start a startup hmm unless it’s for a specific use case. No. Why? Because the biggest bill you will have to pay at first in a startup and for a long time won’t be AWS but all the (devs) salaries. And compare to what you will pay to AWS that’s a lot of money. So a gain in performance won’t matter as much as in your success (and survivability) than speed in developing new feature every week.

Depending what you do but it’s usually the case that performance won’t matter until mid late game. I saw a startup at +300M valuation still not having to worry about performance for a long time. And a cut in the AWS bill thanks to using a more performant language like Rust won’t make that much a difference compare to how much they had to pay devs. So you just want a language where you can ship features fast.

Also the hiring pool is still very small.
working on it as we speak!

> "it's so easy, it's just [controversial pet theory] and the rest of science disagrees because they are wrong".

That's probably the best description of her style of argument I've read, and it's honestly why I can't stand reading/watching her anymore. Much too much of it comes off to me as "What the physics establishment doesn't want you to know!!" type of stuff, so it then attracts the "yeah, she's speaking truth to power, I knew it was a conspiracy!" crowd.

I mean, there are plenty of folks that have expressed a ton of skepticism about string theory without the semi-conspiratorial angle.
When you've got a private office, a couple executive assistants, a private driver, a company paid hotel if you need to stay late and a (possibly second) house close by it becomes a much easier thing to do.

edit: And of course 24/7 nannies.
So you're saying that your ability to get work done is dependent on forcing time with your co-workers on your schedule instead of theirs? This would be rude even if in the office. I've had the complete opposite experience of being able to get co-workers to respond in chat and jump onto meetings when needed.

I can definitely agree that if your company doesn't set an expectation of how remote/hybrid work will be conducted then there will always be some people who are overly laissez-faire with it. My own opinion is that remote work should be conducted mostly the same as if you were in the office. You're just not sitting in the same building anymore. Everyone should keep sensible hours that are close to the same hours of your team and be generally available. Seems to have worked so well for my company that they've begun closing down physical offices.

Its also notable they did the same thing recently with Verizon. I thought both VZ and TSM made a lot of sense. Adjacent to Apple and completely different business profiles. When they pulled the trigger on Verizon buy I thought it made total sense as a risk mitigation to waning iPhone upgrades. Once the upgrade volatility declines, Verizon bleeds less handset promotion money. Users might not buy the next phone, but will keep paying bills. It was really surprising to seem them sell so quickly.
AC has two problems:

1. Long lines become a "transmission line" in the sense that you get reflections. These have to Z matched and you also have to get the phase angle right.

2 Capacitance loss to ground. The lines are a massive capacitor to ground. The longer the line the more power shorts to ground

2a Because of 2. You dont use AC lines underwater. The increased dielectric means that you loose too much power from anything but the shortest runs.

You could change the frequency to a do the long runs at a lower f, and itd have its benefits, but its outweighed by the drawbacks (namely transformer saturation)
> Andy Jassy probably never worked as an SDE if he truly thinks any of the above is motivating.

No, he hasn't. He joined Amazon as a Product Manager in 97, became a Director in 2000, VP in 2002 and Sr. VP in 2006. The rest is history.
Yup. I view TypeScript as the best "get things done quickly without too much code and minimal bugs" language.
The difference is not really about distance. Your link is accurate though.

High voltage is always more efficient for power transmission over any distance than low voltage, regardless of AC vs DC, in any conductor whose resistance is not zero. This is because of I^2R losses.

For any specified value of [high] voltage and a specified wire and a specified distance, DC will be slightly more efficient than AC, for other reasons like skin effect.

But we don't want high voltage in our homes, so changing voltage down for consumption and up for transmission is essential.

Voltage changing was basically impossible with DC back when the grid was invented 120 years ago. But it was easy with AC. So our grid is AC.

Today we have power semiconductors which allow us to switch DC voltages easily. If the entire grid were being invented today -- from scratch -- it would be entirely DC.
Why does it seem unlikely ?

We've got goldilocks conditions here on earth for creation of complex chemistries and emergence of life.

We've got all sorts of chemical elements, nice warm distance from the sun - lots of energy, but not too much to destroy things. Lots of liquid water, getting stirred up by a moon. A hot molten core providing both geothermal energy and a magnetic radiation shield. Plenty of lightening to initiate higher energy reactions...

Does it get an better ?

All those chemicals, getting mixed in water, stirred up by tides and thermal currents, heated up by the sun, are going to react ... no way to stop them.

In a few decades of trying a small number of labs experimenting with early earth type conditions have already been able to see organic chemicals created out of inorganic .. the building blocks of life, so imagine how common this would have been on early earth itself, with billions of micro environments chemically evolving 24x7 for millions of years ...

It's hard to say what we should regard as the beginnings of evolution, but this type of ever changing, ever complexifying stage of emerging organic chemistry on earth - essentialy an inevitability - could even be considered as the start.
It's one of those cities that has two names: Den Bosch and 's Hertogenbosch.

The first simply means "the forest", in slightly archaic spelling. The second is short for "des hertogenbosch", which is archaic for "the duke's forest". "Des" is archaic genitive that's barely used any more in Dutch except in a few phrases and place names.

's ochtends => des ochtends => of the morning

's avonds => des avonds => of the evening

's Hertogenbosch => the duke's forest

's Gravenhave => des graven hage => the count's hedge (also known as Den Haag / The Hague)
It's already well-explained in the linked article:

> OpenSUSE MicroOS has a read-only root file system, using Btrfs. Transactional updates are handled by a SUSE-specific wrapper script around the package manager zypper, transactional-update. This creates a new Btrfs snapshot of the root file system and then performs an update of the system. If the installation was successful, the script marks the new snapshot as the default snapshot. On errors, the snapshot is discarded and the previous one remains as the default. A reboot activates the new snapshot.

My comment above was saying that you don't have to use MicroOS per se to get this. A regular openSUSE install supports the transactional server role that does the same thing as MicroOS.

That seems extremely unlikely, but we won't find out for at least 1500 years.
This would be useful to resolve the root issue but unfortunate I am not sure/think I do not have a Business tier account. I will try to check this though.

You do indeed need to understand prototypes to explain this behavior. "Free functions" doesn't really make sense, because it obviates the need for classes.

I live in Canada, things don't quite work like the US in terms of ownership incentives, but generally nobody is renting a house here for less than what it costs to finance and maintain it, so rather than "renting with extra step", an entire generation of people are being told they can not afford to own the home, but they can go ahead and pay the bills of the person who does.

Buying a house ten years ago has added about $450,000 to my net worth, without me making any extra payments. Had we stayed renting an apartment, saving the difference would have produced about $57,000 at 8% annualized, and had we rented a house that was comparable, would have yielded nothing.

Buying a house here can be highly leveraged - you start off only having to pay 5, 10, 20 percent of the price, but until very recently houses appreciated more than the interest on the mortgage, furthermore, as you pay your mortgage off, you can take a loan out against a certain portion of the value of the house and use that money to invest in other things, while tax deducting the interest from that loan. Never actually paying your house off is a thing for both the rich and the poor, but with very different outcomes.
Well said, but one of your examples is not quite like the others:

> Is [singular they] neutral, or is it pushing fancy new pronouns that break English and don't sound natural?

Singular “they” is actually the traditional English approach. "Neutral he" is a neo-Latinate prescriptivism: it was relatively obscure until Victorian-era schooling¹ drummed these Rules of English Grammar into everybody's heads.² Even people who swear by singular “they” being ungrammatical usually use it idiomatically, because it's so baked in to the language: it wasn't proscribed for long enough to actually fall out of use.

Neopronouns are a better example: for some people, the class of English pronouns is closed, but for other people it's not. (Or, you could just set the clock back a couple hundred years, and use "neutral he" as your example.)

There's currently a Stack Exchange Hot Network Question on this topic: https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/questions/46123/how-di...

¹: Contemporaneous with the romantic movement, which gave us the Cult of the Bard. A man who, like his contemporaries, used singular 'they' in his writing.

²: See also: “to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before” (Douglas Adams). Totally kosher in the 14th century, but the same kinds of people who gave us “scissors” (an atrocious spelling, rivalling "cysowres" in its arbitrarity! What was wrong with "sisours"?) decided that splitting infinitives was ungrammatical. This has a much longer history of rejection (comparable with the duration of the transatlantic slave trade, encompassing the transition betwixt Englis and EMnE, and long enough for the construction to actually disappear outside poetry), so it would probably work as an example, too.

I'm honestly still trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I got the compact flash to use with a XT-CF-Lite v4. I'm still trying to figure out what DOS I'd like to use. I can get the OEM MSDOS 3.22 installed onto the drive, but that version's max partition size is 32MB, which isn't ideal when the compact flash is 4GB. FreeDOS supports that size and pre-386, but it was a pain to get it on there and is a bit overkill for a computer this old. Right now I'm considering a later MSDOS, but haven't decided on which one.

As far as software goes I'm waiting on finalizing the DOS before exploring games and development, but it was fun was to be able to run this port of Wolfenstein 3D:

https://github.com/jhhoward/WolfensteinCGA

Besides all that I'm thinking of maxing out the RAM (it's 640k now, but can take an additional 128k for video), and maybe adding a real time clock and network card. I do have another Tandy 1000 TX, so I could see how 80's networking worked. That is probably another can of worms though.

Listening to the police on this is why there are federal drug, alcohol, and criminal restrictions on federally funded public housing programs, and why most public housing authorities impose even stricter rules than the federal requirements, which serve as a bar for many of the people who need help.

But, sure, lie and claim its that homeless people with current or past drug problems choose not to avail themselves of programs they are banned by official policy from.
Maybe they are fine with the attrition.
