LSAT can be taken at 18. Discounting 2-3 years for a course and we have 15 year olds. Are we holding 15 year olds as liable as adults? That they must grind 3 years of course with full intensity while already dealing with teenage problems? Sounds like hell.
I grew up playing Sim City 2k and 3k (never got around to the latest one, but wasn't really interested after reading reviews).

I'd like to see the entire city builder genre challenged by changing the perspective from city planner/god-mayor, to those whom they serve.

Imagine, instead of a birds eye view, you could only build from the perspective of a pedestrian.

Maybe in certain instances you'd have to see a wider swath of land for planning purposes (transit as an example), but it would be interesting to see how the forms of cities created by users change from this new perspective.
> If Javascript was transpiled to Rust

Seems challenging. JavaScript code does not come with lifetime information that the Rust compiler expects to have to get rid of stuff that's not used anymore, while JS has a garbage collector to do this.

There's also no borrowing information encoded in JavaScript code. Rust expects the developers to provide this information in their code so it knows who and where what can modify what.
Saying this as a white collar work, but I now drive a econ-auto.

I kind of think it has to do with many white collar workers wanting to look tough and maybe wanting to look like they do real work.

But, I hate the "drive like a car" trend for Trucks. I drove a Jeep CJ-7 for almost 20 years, but when it failed catastrophically, I went to an econ-car because all the new jeeps were really just cars.

That means, no manual locking hubs, automatic transmission, no manual steering and no plugs in the floor to let out water. It is impossible to get a Real Jeep now. And I believe the same is for pickups. The CJ nad no radio, driving faster then 50-60 mph (80-100 kph) was not recommended.

Nevermind the how expensive Jeeps and Pickups are these days. In the 70s/80s, these were cheap compared to Luxury Autos.

Pet-peeve time: Why do people in pickups slow down to 1 m/kph on speed bumps ? If driving a truck, no need for that when my car has no issues (for 10 years+) going faster than that.
Yeap. Most people commenting here are just bitter and are looking for any excuse to confirm their biases.

From a business perspective does it matter that Twitter is down for a moment? It's not a plane or medical machine. It's not blocking anyone from doing anything useful. Everyone are just going to check & post when it is up again.

It also doesn't mean that Twitter employees have a bad work experience like most here assume. Maybe they've got a permission to iterate fast, even if it risks bringing things down, and everyone are having a jolly good time, skipping on the boring chores ensuring everything will go smoothly usually takes.
You can use any Docker image.
There's enough government involvement to insure the paper-printing game everyone is playing, and that's all that counts. They guarantee the low end with the FHA, and that props up everything else.
I believe automatically inferring lifetimes in the general case is equivalent to solving the halting problem (for every sub-program, determine if a given reference is stored to the heap before the sub-program terminates), so transipiling JS to Rust would presumably need manual lifetime annotation or else require significant limitations to simplify lifetime analysis.
1 is easy to imagine - a large enough collapse that making new ones is very very hard, especially compared to scrounging and repurposing the huge amount of existing ones. Imagine a huge population decline, and search parties looking through the ruins for useful tech, like computers, decades later.

Such a society could probably make new computers, but the cost of making new, much worse specced computers, may not be cost effective for a long time as long as old computers can be found and repaired.

Edit: such a movie or novel would make for great Fallout-ish world-building. Imagine for instance a large hotel in a big city running the booking system on an old laptop in a central secure location, and new 8-bit computers used as terminals at the front desk. Public access 8-bit computer terminals at public libraries connected to copies of WikiPedia running on some old gaming rig and such things. :-)
Yeah it would have been hard but man looking at the night sky with no light pollution and no clue what you were looking at would be a pretty deep spiritual experience
While we should be cautious, this also agrees with the lived experience of almost every married couple I know.

I don't think this is true of all women. But I and several of my friends have noticed that as our income level changed the level of support and tolerance from our wives changed noticeably.

When I'm making more money or receive a promotion my wife is noticeably more supportive and tolerant of me. Despite me being much happier and more agreeable at the low income jobs, my low income jobs still pay more than her job, and only caused a very small change to QoL (due to my large savings). I can only imagine what it's like if I made less than her or we had to actually start sacrificing due to lower pay.

And of my friends where the wife is noticeably more successful than the husband there is always quite a bit of stress from the wife who is constantly pushing him to be more successful. Not to mention the amount of crap these wives get for their less successful husbands, which is quite substantial.
Also the same for the Nordic countries and few eastern Europe ones I'm aware of.

Maybe folks early in their career. It's not like the cachet has totally dissolved because they did employ a lot of top notch people. Also, when they're interviewing for their next job, even if your departure was super contentious, Twitter is a great scapegoat that nobody will question.

"It says here you were terminated for breaking into a vending machine in the lobby and distributing snacks to your colleagues while dressed as Robinhood."

"Yeah it was an act of protest because management threatened to take away our lunch breaks."

"Well... it... sounds plausible I guess."
Native Chinese speaker here. All transformations seem legit to me, the 兔/rabbit one was especially good since it is beautifully transformed, and I would say it still readable for a native speaker. For the 猫/cat and 冲浪/surfing cases, I feel like the transformation is too intentional, or less natural compared to the other cases (including the English ones). They are more readable though than 兔/rabbit.
If you're already in a lease, chances are they will try to rent it for a few percent more than what they'd list it for on the open market. Many people are not attune to moving every year, especially if it's a house instead of an apartment, and will weigh the costs (incl. mental) of moving with the money they have left in their budget.
Indeed, as if sites today already can't snoop with JS instead of WASM.
It won't change anything about the population sim, just traffic.

There exist other mods that change the population sim; I'm not familiar with them. C:S mods ... well there's a ton of them. It's a pretty deep rabbit hole.
Also #4 they are shipping features much more than before. Shipping more always will likely lead to more errors happening. IMO it's a combo of #3 and #4
> Just top 3 Mastodon instances(mastodon.social, pawoo.net, mstdn.jp) collectively has > 2mil users, same level as Twitter in 2008.

You really think 'pawoo.net' and 'mstdn.jp' are fabulous advertisements for Mastodon of over 2M users on those instances, unless you think CP and loli culture there is a great thing since it is totally illegal in hundreds of countries?

Secondly, both pawoo.net and mstdn.jp instances are owned by a single company called Mask Network [0], which essentially means it is not community owned and is under central control of a company that can do whatever it pleases, even if the users on the platform dislike it.

Finally you missed out another large Mastodon instance after mastodon.social which is braag.et which promotes CP and illegal content. So it seems that the instances with the larger amount of users also allows CP and illegal garbage on it.

It's quite hilarious to believe that Mastodon with these examples remotely has a chance against Twitter as an alternative.

In the big chains it's overwhelming consolidation and cost cutting that completely eliminated flavor. Sugar and heat compensate for the lack of flavor. Finally, overweight and obese people perceive the things they eat differently than if their BMI was normal (personal experience going from obese class 1 to normal). If the majority of your clientele are obese or overweight, you will update the menu to appease their palate. Forty-one percent of U.S. adults, on average over the past five years, from 2017 to 2021, have characterized themselves as overweight or obese.

> But if you did, would you end up with Capitol-Hill like appreciation in 40 years???

My friend recently applied this same concept in a very rough area of South Bend, Indiana buying a house with bullet holes in the side using the same general logic ("it'll get gentrified someday").

The issue he's running into is that it turns out a city doesn't have to charge you property taxes on the actual sale price (which was only $3k) but can charge you property taxes on a higher amount of their choosing ($40k I think he said) in order to encourage revitalization and not just hoarding of slum houses, probably.

He's trying to fight that property tax assessment, but I'm not a lawyer and neither is he and he'll probably lose. In which case the holding costs defeat his whole plan.
Sure, but for many scientists, they'll be way more likely to learn and use Python effectively than use C or C++.
It's also interesting to compare energy usage. Intel has RAPL which allows you to measure the joules of a certain program or processor. We should be focusing not just on performance but also on environmental runtime impact.
I don't think that analogy captures my problem with those words. My problem, really, is that they devalue what they refer to. "Consumer" devalues people, and "content" devalues creative effort.

Saying "noodles" doesn't devalue spaghetti.
Me too.

However, this is a double edge sword. Their key value proposition is scale / speed which makes it concerning that they haven't "solved" that yet.
I wonder if we'll see compact pickups as EVs (again, Ford had EV Rangers in the time of the EV-1); because CAFE doesn't drive design for EVs, afaik. Personally, I found my 2011 Ranger with the 4-cylinder engine to be fuel efficient enough, and did my light pickup work. I've now got a 2003 S-10 with a v6 and it's much less fuel efficient; I wish I had kept my Ranger, but it made sense to get rid of it at the time.
Well, the jobs that pay the high incomes are in the very high-cost-of-living areas.

This is a huge problem for economic growth. If housing costs in the Bay Area were at US average, easily 10M more people could live here and get high paying jobs. But that path to a better life is very constrained.
These are costs associated with owning a property (taxes, insurance) that come out of the portfolio + others that do not appear in the excel file, such as the risk associated with owning a property that is not covered by insurance, opportunity costs (less flexibility in terms of relocation if better professional opportunities arise elsewhere), and the occasional real estate crisis that can blow away all the gains on paper in a couple of months.

If real estate values do not rise faster than inflation (I would say substantially faster), it would be a very poor investment or not an investment at all.

Yesterday I was reading in the subreddit of the town where I live about people's complaints regarding the absurd cost of living here. It was funny and puzzling that people were saying, "Yes, it's so hard to live here, housing is so expensive. We were lucky to buy 10 years ago for $500,000, now our house is valued at $1.4 million." Not recognizing that they are the problem.
I have only been involved in software engineering interviews at BigTech for senior devs in the System Design round (because doing System Design is part of my $DayJob). Just to explain my perspective.

When I was in the real world and when I interviewed at my current job, I practiced being able to explain my experience in STAR format based on my “career document”.

In the real world, all of my “interviews” were mostly just my talking to CxOs and directors at small companies. My loop for my current job was all behavioral after the initial screening and even that was more system design than anything else.

If you know there is going to be a coding interview, wouldn’t it behoove you to practice that too - or “grind leetcode?”

I did DS&A back as part of my job during the first decade of my career bit twiddling in C across multiple architectures and later on maintaining a custom compiler toolchain. But I would definitely have to practice to be interview ready at this point. The coding part of my job has gotten a lot easier during the last decade. It’s been about knowing what to write and getting buy in
>the world we live in is one where having more context in a professional environment is almost always useful

THIS. My career pivoted in a new direction simply because I asked a question to a co-worker [0]. The core qualities of curiosity and empathy leads to riches of mind, friendship and wallet. Some reminders I try to adhere to:

- Believing that seeking opportunities to help others is universally positive since trust blooms from the soils of good intentions. And trust opens up possibilities.

- Asking just one more question.

- Finding that extra minute to hear one more story

Yes. I'd rather buy an indie game with SOVL and pixel art than a big production. Just seeing the photorealistic images on the steam page is a turn-off. I'll take a game looking like SimCity 2000 or 3000 over that.

Btw I'm also working on my own indie game, it's quite challenging but I'm happy with progress I'm making by being consistent on it.
Yes, memgrpah persists data on-disk, but there is not the support for larger than memory datasets yet (but a lot can fit on a single machine). In general, our primary focus at the moment is the scale out / proper graph sharding support. The progress on that side can be tracked under the following project -> https://github.com/orgs/memgraph/projects/5

How big is your graph and do you have specific queries in mind?
I recall Apple being a very "aggressive" customer during my time at Samsung's semiconductor manufacturing lines in ATX.

Funnily, if you ask around outside America, you'll get the opposite advice: a cold water connection gives better cleaning, because starch and protein do not coagulate in the initial rinse[0].

Even on a software eng salary in Seattle area, housing 40m away from city took many many years of saving to afford downpayment. As we were saving, the price went up faster than we could meet 20%. The rents also went up. It feel like the bar kept on moving faster than we could catch up.

This was 5 years ago. At current >1M prices, that would not be possible. 2 bedroom rents in Bellevue are > $2500/month. Kind of nuts.
Specific to Seattle, once you see what the teachers are teaching kids there you'll see that they soon won't actually need teachers. Nobody that has both a functioning brain and children would put their kids in Seattle schools.

Love it. Screen recorders have always been strangely pricey especially before OBS came out.

I used to be a Loom user but actually churned because the screen recording in Slack is so good. You can download it without posting so I use it if I need to email a video.

Of course, it lacks the killer feature of link sharing.

Congratulations on launching and best of luck!
> This is a theme. Existing open source is not designed for global deployment

Eh? Unless you are consuming something as a service and it actually advertises it as a feature, nothing is ready for 'global deployment'.

> so many people don't seem to know how to actually use social media

Because social media (well, Twitter at least) gets ever more opaque and unpredictable. I blame the social media, not the users.
Given the consensus understanding of physics and gravity, it did. It just so happened that it was attached to a larger thing that also fell, and the larger thing likely either knows it and can comprehend this message trivially, or does not and summoning help is the proper action to take.

Reminder that the screen is a false positive protection mechanism and will only ever be seen in a specific context.

I’d bet that this will be the source of some gnarly leaks in future. If it does my bet would be it’s going to follow the “API keys on GH” trajectory.
I don't know if I would call it offensive, maybe misguided? Naive?

Most of the population could not sub into most tech work. I know this because a large portion of the population can hardly even use tech, beyond the lowest hanging fruit like social media and other ultra-refined experiences. You have a high opinion of the average person and that's fine but it will stick out in conversations like this.

Your attempts to get them into tech are great! That'll test whether they're capable of doing the work, get them out of the "harder" work if they are, and is an actionable effort rather than signaling your distaste for some alleged injustice.
I do sympathise: not only is kneading by hand something I can absolutely believe people can't be bothered with after a long day at work, but also I can't even remember when I last tried even though I have access to an electric mixer.

Property taxes vary a lot. Mine are about $350/month.

$1K/month is probably low for me though if I added up all the expenses a renter wouldn't generally have although a renter also probably wouldn't be renting a house like mine for an extended period so it's a bit hard to do apples to apples.

In any case, living in a house is very much not free even once you're paid off the mortgage--especially if you make an effort to prevent a lot of maintenance debt from accumulating.
