I think it was an impossible call to make and the product of a bunch of terrible circumstances and prior decisions. Additionally the response team was probably motivated to act instead of wait for the situation to develop unpredictably and they were reading a climbing temperature. If they believed it was avoiding an uncontrolled explosion where the was no idea how the rail car contents would release then it could be the right call in hindsight. I can see not wanting a big plume of that uncombusted stuff releasing, persisting and causing acute and chronic harm. I cannot argue anything about the call to burn it or not that sounds like a terrible choice.

My point is the rush to resume normalcy and choose the risk of false negative reassurance when its clear this is not a well thought out procedure is terrible. Testing for raw components alone neglects the entire set of potential contamination and routes. Also is a one mile radius evacuation adequate for an open burn like that? I don't know what is but it'd be nice to have support to leave for a time if living on the outside margin of "might not die depending on wind direction".

The story coverage in newspapers is decently good I don't think anything is being swept under the rug. But the official response and effort to put the threat in the past seems like damage control to exit the news cycle vs having any concern whatsoever about the people that live there. It is a poor populated area of the country and it is acceptable to open burn a million pounds of chlorinated petrochemicals. I know this happens in different ways under environmental permitting all over the US like in the gulf, etc. so its not unique. Still its terrible.

And the state and local officials are handling the media coverage and disaster response while the US federal government is shooting down multiple balloons out of the air with $400k missiles in the great 2023 balloon wars. It is absurd.

It is not complicated at all, if you do it during the construction stage. The thing is, you can't just randomly turn office suites into bedrooms like that.

Commercial buildings have different structural integrity, plumbing requirements, accessibility requirements, fire defense requirements, and so on compared to residential housing. A space that might be deemed safe to have 100 people working inside of, may not be deemed safe to have 10 people sleeping inside of for those reasons.
They make a point of making them space wasting round, and then still call them “cubes”.
Cars driving past each other rarely are in range for long enough to communicate meaningfully.

Locations where multiple Tesla vehicles are likely to congregate - Superchargers and Tesla retail/service locations - already have good internet connectivity.
Guys the solution is walls.
Even if PokemonGo is in your terms a fad (what isn't if your definition of fad gets too broad?), it was wildly successful in its product category. I believe there is a misconception about the goal to achieve parity with a traditional search engine (what ever that means). Yes, it's part of a brand whose main product is a search engine. Bing Chat doesn't need to compete with a traditional search engine to prove its usefulness as we have seen with many examples. In the same sentiment of your comment one could also say a common tendency in (some) humans is to undersell the wins.
Walls. They’re called walls. And a door.
If you hire a fantastic human who produces absymal code, it's a mishire IMO.

So code quality must be good, and personality must be "good enough" to not jeopardize teamwork.
I assume they mean instead of minimax (ie assume perfect from the opponent), to play around the flaws of the opponent.

If you know the opponent won't spot a certain line, or will choose a certain sub optimal line, you would have an advantage by playing around that. Kind of like how you can play fools mate on a newbie.
You’ll remember it haha
Spinach is one of the most consumed veggies globally (#8 or #9) and has no emoji. And WhatsApp at least has no emoji results for "chili"/"chilli" - you have to search for "pepper". But there's no emoji for ground pepper!
It would be really interesting if some of the advances in AI could make their way into the game. Make the gameplay more human by incorporating recent advances in ML-based gameplay e.g. Diplomacy and Poker. Create more variety of dialogue using transformer models. Make in-game diplomacy more nuanced. There’s a lot that could be done.

What I'm hearing is this guy delivers features to the customers, but your ideas are better, obviously.

If they were obviously better, you'd be able to secure funding to do them. What I think is actually happening is you've been unable to demonstrate the value of your ideas, or convince people they are valuable. The conclusion I am drawing here is that you haven't shown that your way is better - you just believe it is.

My belief is that the attitude that people suck if they write tests that must be ordered, "indicates a lack of understanding that finding the right balance of speed, cost and quality is a compromise." But, many developers believe that their pure code is just always "better".
That only (partially) solves the sound problem. The visual distractions are equally as bad.
Is it going to be easier for you to train coding, or personality?
> One place I had plenty of surface space in an L shape, multiple lockable storage areas, and even a small coat closet.

Wall height really matters. At a certain point though it might as well just be an office. Even if you wanted constant collaboration with the people in cubes around you it'd probably be better to stick small groups of people in rooms together rather than a sprawling cube farm.

Who said you need to arrange a time for a call? Especially if I'm right fucking there.

The availability should be the same. If I am WFH and not at my desk, I'll miss the call. Same thing will happen if I'm in the office and not at my desk.

The OS also doesn’t know when you uninstall an app whether the app is really gone. You could have copied it to a network drive first, or maybe you have a different version of the app in a folder somewhere. Who knows?
> the revenue share only goes one referral deep

"25% of the persons recurring revenue" must be all the referrals of that referral and all the way down.

I don't like it because it introduces difficult to understand incentives that may be different than "make good product" and difficult to understand.

Maybe the most obvious wrong incentive is "make product that is easy to get your friends to start and keep using". A product like that would benefit from network effects and social contagion and no interoperation with other products, and build features correspondingly. (cf Facebook)
Great question. I don't know the details of how database schema changes were deployed, I only worked on the easy stuff - stateless web services.

Exactly as you say, there is a time window where both the old and new system write to the same data store. Both old and new systems, and the details of the deployment, need to be designed to tolerate this. Even if there is no change to the database schema, you need to think through what will happen if the old version of a component reads data written to the database by a newer version of that same component, or vice versa. Similar considerations if you need to roll back to the old version after the new version has run in production for a few hours, but the newly written data is still there. This can all be planned out and tested in staging.

I don't think this is unique to the blue / green deployment pattern. If you did a rolling deployment to upgrade app servers in a pool behind some customer-traffic facing load balancer, there would be a time window when both old and new versions of your app servers are all attached to your database. Same fundamental problem.

It is disturbing seeing the downright negative legal literacy growth in understanding Section 230 over the years of propaganda efforts. Does that speak of a dark future of dystopian legislation via propaganda campaigns to convince people the law already works according to an utterly fictional standard?
Thats actually a great idea. Imagine actually being able to talk Ghandi down from nuking everyone!
What I normally do is use finder to search for system files and delete them also along with the .app . You have to add system files to the search manually though.

When you search there is a + next to save in finder, click that, have name and matcha, + another option, choose other and scroll down to System Files, then set to are included.

I say if the adversarial strategy is learnable by human players (even if humans didn't invent it), then the battle isn't over yet. Especially if the same adversarial strategy works against most or all AI opponents. The battle is really over when there are no more adversarial strategies simple enough for humans to use.
> It's software. It can't be conscious.

What definition of consciousness are you basing this assertion on?

Or are you saying this axiomatically? "Consciousness is something that software can never be."

If we accept that consciousness in humans is some function of the working of the brain (perhaps with sensory organs too), then that entire hardware (wetware) could in theory be simulated, at which point why wouldn't the simulation (assuming it's captured all the nuances of the physical implementation) be conscious?

Of course, if you believe that consciousness in humans is something that requires "something else" e.g. a "spirit" or "soul", then your statement may be true (though even then it requires a theory of spirit/soul that such a substance cannot be correlated with any other hardware, and can only be associated with human brains).

Question for you. Do you believe that any other living beings e.g. dogs, possess consciousness or a level of consciousness?
I think people are missing the point a ton. This isn't Bank of America buying the naming rights to an NFL stadium.

Not a single person will sign up for 1Password because of this park, and they know that. It's not marketing.

Someone with decision making power at 1Password loves this park (or this area) and is using the money they've collected via 1Password to keep it alive and going.

This is wonderful and I love it. It reminds me of how my (venture backed tech) company sponsors the Barnesville Potato Days every year in Minnesota. Not because we think we'll get a sign up, but because one of our employees loved it and talked about it all the time and when they needed money one year we were happy to part with it.

EDIT: Yup, they have an office near there and the founder is from the area: https://dteare.medium.com/14-years-of-growth-the-1password-s...
I would probably want this too. Noise-cancelling headphones help a lot to solve the audible noise problems of an open office, but do nothing to fix the issue of visual noise with coworkers buzzing around and such which can be just as much of a productivity killer.
I read an interview a while back with a game developer who was asked why video games have historically had so much fighting and he responded with "it's easy to write." Take away is that as AI improves we will move to a world where conflict in video games will be very different - your example but also imagine being able to actually have to argue/convince characters in games using free form speech.
Yeah, I really didn't like the feel of Civ6. It felt a bit too confining? I'm not sure exactly why.
Split votes are definitely a real phenomenon that have occurred in many real world elections.
Well that's a relief
You like digging your own roads? I think the workers concept is vastly improved in VI

I agree with you on the cartoonish leaders though.
Ha! fairly certain I don't belong in any list with those other things, but thanks! also, what I said was a small stretch. I had one text box for weekly notes on my django app i made to collect my canoe building records and customer data. I did more or less start over from scratch with this. But yes, 1000% of my ideas are from making project websites 2000-2014, and from building canoes for 15 years.
It was almost. I used to work in MPK17 for Sun. There were some cubicles here and there but it was mostly offices from what I recall. It was a far cry from the open air cafeteria style seating when I interviewed there later in 2017 for Facebook.

It was the same at the Santa Clara Sun campus even after the Oracle acquisition (referred to by some as “Snoracle”). Mostly offices and some cubicles here and there.

> 1) app is buggy and I'm trying to fix it by reinstalling from scratch

You don't specify and it's highly dependent but in most cases when an app is misbehaving it's an issue with preferences. You can reset most apps with `defaults` without blowing away all its data. There are some intricacies with how macOS handles preferences, so you should avoid manually editing related .plist.

Why is it appropriate for you to suggest how guys will use that emoji, but it’d be wrong for me to suggest how girls may learn to use a different emoji?

This is not how the guys I know use this emoji, btw.
You always have the option of creating a map style and using Mapbox's Raster Tile API - although that does mean you probably can't dynamically adjust your raster images in time for a request to be served.

How are you using the Static Maps API currently where you would be able to send a POST request and display the image back to the user? Most use-cases for the Static Maps API involve the HTML <img> tag or something similar, which all send GET requests.

Had the same experience. I happened to have rebooted during the outage, and spent like half an hour checking DNS settings, etc for why tailscale wouldn't start, until I realized it wasn't my problem. Really hope they had better error messages instead of letting `tailscale up` hang forever.
Districts mechanics is great, I can’t imagine going back to the old everything in city center model. Loyalty mechanics is a mixed blessing, after so many years I can’t say whether I like it or not. I find climate mechanics a nice yet minor addition. AI is crappy as ever. But since you only stopped playing after Gathering Storms you should already know what I said above; the game hasn’t changed much since, even one major bug was left unfixed. Secret societies are fun but not at all balanced.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I didn’t really get what you were trying to say.

I’m not an expert, but if I recall I think the big flaw was insistence on determinism.

And to my knowledge operator grammar is universal to the degree there isn’t a counter example in the dozen of languages he explored and hundreds he had others help him with. But to my knowledge the only language he fully mapped was English.

We can prove many of them don't have consciences. Then again, they can prove we don't either.
I think the Internet stopped being good a while ago but it doesn’t have much to do with section 230 it has more to do with private companies censoring things they don’t like.
Yup. The anti sprawl people should understand that "densifying" and "building up" in neighborhoods of single family homes will just create a demand for new neighborhoods further out that don't have to deal with these issues. I currently live 25ish miles from a major city downtown. I've noticed a lot of interest from developers in building 3-4 story apartment buildings around here even though there doesn't seem to be much demand for that type of living situation. I will gladly move 15 miles further out, I work from home, in 10 years if this area becomes too dense with apartments.
Last time I checked, you could use `brew uninstall --cask --force --zap` to uninstall an app thoroughly.

That would work reliably for me, even for installs not actually managed by Homebrew.
Santa Clara had 1-person offices IIRC. Small, transparent, but 1-person.
I’m getting a lot of mileage out of Unraid, but am frustrated by their documentation and Docker implementation. While the system is slick for loading community packaged apps, it’s non trivial to load your own images. their docs are mostly just forum threads.

I’m sure it’s actually very straightforward and I’m just an idiot, but I haven’t had much luck.
Yes I have, and some even approaching 10kl. It's actually easier when you only have one "dimension" to worry about, and can simply scroll up and down instead of having to jump around between functions, or worse, files.

That said, a lot of these huge functions were basically for implementing defined step-by-step processes, and comments delineated the sections as well as loop and condition ends.
But that's not the system. They should be sticking to consistently using the ZWJ + gender to modify a base emoji and they aren't. Consuming three codepoints when one will do is silly.

Passwordless authentication means removing the most critical failure factor from authentication: the human.

> I should not be able to steal a yubikey

This type of attack is not based in reality; most attacks are done remotely from a location with limited jurisdiction and practically no repercussions. When there is no credential to phish because it's a hardware-backed cryptographic assertion, security is drastically improved. WebAuthN literally provides credential phishing immunity, which is by far the most prevalent source of account compromise today (see: annual Verizon threat report). It is so superior, I would even go so far as to share my password to, say, my Google account provided it is protected exclusively with a hardware authentication factor.
I don't care about the office setup.

Note that if I am trying to fix an app that I want to keep using I sure as hell may want to keep the preferences.

> In clinical trials, Libmeldy offered clear benefits to infantile and juvenile patients who hadn't yet developed MLD symptoms

Does that mean clincal trials didn't show a benefit for patients who had already developed symptoms? Does it mean it wasn't studied in patients who had already developed symptoms?

I don't think it's unreasonable that the NHS won't spend large amounts of other people's money on a treatment that hasn't been studied or wasn't found to be effective.
This stuff still pops up in the wild so the article is a useful corrective. But one wonders how that sample code ever passed without comment.
I had an individual office at my old workplace, and now I work in an open floor plan. I am 10x more connected with my new team because of this. It is so much nicer to talk things out than to have hours or days of back-and-forth over chat or email. And we don’t even need to schedule a meeting to talk to each other!

I work hybrid so if I need peace and quiet to focus, I stay home. It’s a great arrangement.
