To add detail onto my reply to your other comment then: these things are the things I hate about exercising outside!

The sun is too hot, the wind is too cold. The puddles are a twisted ankle just waiting to happen. I don't want people to see me running - it makes me self conscious of every part of my body and my running form. I don't want to check the little free library during my exercise - that's a break in my flow.

On a machine, I don't have to worry about any of that. I just go, and when I reach my time goal, or I don't feel like it anymore, I stop. I can close my eyes if I want to without worrying about falling over. I can make all the exertion noises I want to if it's hard. I don't have to walk all the way home if I go too hard too early by mistake and get a stitch.

And the best bit is that your way and my way are both totally valid ways of exercising. The important bit is not how we exercise, the important bit is that we exercise.

Never tried to update something eh?

Debian is particularly bad because they'd comingle python 2 and 3 packages in the same filesystem locations if you used pip out of the box.

That was a horrid discovery on my part. I assumed, coming from java where this sort of thing has been a long solved problem, that no one would be daft enough to do something like that.

Uhm... Which one? Reduction of iron ore with methane is energetically as good as anything else.

Synthetic methane is estimated right now to be about 2.5x the cost of fossil one when deployed at scale: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187551002...

This is pretty reasonable.
I am from the South and I concur with that poster, I’m not sure why takes like these are invalid due to having left. If a place has a lot of problems, you would expect people to leave it and then freely tell other people about the problems after getting more exposure to the world outside of it.

The South has educational problems, lack of opportunities, a lot of poverty, health problems, and different cultural values when compared with the rest of the country. This is a fact, it’s not a “yikes” to state this.

It’s not entirely willful, but it’s also not a completely unavoidable state of affairs either. A lot of it is cultural - when you’re in that environment, it’s normal to you. But at the same time, the people making up the culture as a whole are not helpless individuals incapable of understanding things like diabetes or obesity

Divorce can be initiated by either party and the wording in the abstract ("divorce-risk") suggests they're looking at whether divorce happens, regardless of who initiated it. (I can't access the main paper, to verify what they're actually measuring)
The ability to make all content opt-in instead of opt-out would get you 90% of the way there. Very few services that I know of offer this. Most of them offer gating by age range into all content the service considers appropriate for that age, and most allow you to block specific content as well, but all I really want for my young kids is to know exactly what content is available to them because I have added it specifically.

Beyond that, there are some nice things you could do like a workflow for a kid to request new content and a parent to review and approve/deny it. But that's definitely a nice-to-have.

Interestingly, in addition to being a bassist, I'm also an electronics freak. I've studied every amp schematic that I can lay my hands on, have built my own gear, and read a lot of online commentary on the subject.

In my observation, a fair generalization is that for every term describing tone quality, there are equal and opposite definitions and explanations.
> I'd be concerned that having a well-funded competitor would make life much harder.

That's certainly true for things that you can buy with a lot of money, such as marketing. On the other hand, having such a competitor forces you to think really hard about how to help customers and what makes your company different.
As a South Carolinian, that recipes is accurate.
> I suspect that the guy who invented gmail (or rather linked ads to the text), had he asked his manager would have been told "hell no, fix the javascript bug that's assigned this week - that is putting us behind target for the month"

The history of gmail is that it started as what Google called a 20% project. A side project the developer, Paul Buchheit, worked on with the knowledge of his managers and peers.
What happened is car dependent societies and urban sprawl.

Spend as much time with them as you can, especially closer to the end. Make sure you go out to dinner with them if they are still able. Help when they need it. Tell them you love them. When it's over, it will leave a hole in you for the rest of your life, so spend the time while you can so you don't regret not doing that.

My dad died when I was recently out of college. He got colon cancer and died 3 months later. Watching him decline was hard. It still hurts 23 years later. I've had uncles and aunts and grandparents I was close with die in the past few years. My mom is declining fast, so I spend at least one day a week with her, and do all her chores that need doing. She'll probably need to move in with me soon, which I'm fine with, because there's only a few years at best left.

The one good thing about it, if I had to declare one, is nothing else in your life will ever be as bad as that. It really puts things into perspective. All your problems now will seem insignificant. I was lucky enough to have a really good childhood and really loving and supportive parents.
"Old Enough" on Netflix popularised that idea. Based on my own experience living in Japan it's more common in smaller communities and I certainly haven't seen it much here in Tokyo.

As a recent father I'm still pondering what I should do. I used to take trips to town on my own as young as eight and I soon gained a strong sense of independence which I value. But that was in New Zealand where what they call a city isn't remotely comparable to a metropolis like Tokyo. Safety wouldn't be a concern but it would be easy to get lost for hours.
Umm... There is a strong political correlation here. Even the one exception you're thinking of, doesn't buck the trend, as all the Democrat/Blue parts of Oregon and Utah are high life-expectancy and the Republican/Red rural parts are not.
That bill surely has problems, but the way it is worded throughout, it seems fairly apparent that any impact it might have on VPNs was not the intended target. (Presuming that the language actually would ban VPNs, which is not entirely clear)

Regardless, my point is that it definitely isn’t about the kids, and that is very clear in that bill.
Agreed - my most recent personal site was built using a hand-rolled static site generator (some basic templating using Python) - development is now super easy and it runs just fine as yet another thing on my $5/month VPS.
Most consumers have zero idea about speakers, or the physics necessary for accurate sound reproduction, so they believe the marketing.

That's why sites go to pains comparing the speakers on flatscreen TVs when they're all terrible, I mean they're tiny speakers aimed out of the rear or underside of the TV.

Hell, people can even be led to believe that 9.1 audio can come out of a small soundbar, and they'll buy the 9.1 soundbar over the inferior 7.1 one...
Certainly not. I think they have cynically manipulated by politicians taking advantage of some amount of real cultural disapproval. They cultivate the grievances and push them even more extremes.
Safer for yourself maybe, if you're a careful driver. Larger vehicles tend to have a higher center of gravity, so may roll more easily.

I work with sqlite a lot. Usually with millions rows. The last time I check my script written in crystal which read ten millions entries from the disk, remove the duplication then write the result to sqlite3 database file and it all happen in 70 seconds or so.

And I didn't have to do any fancy trick like in this article, just setting `journal_mode=WAL` and `synchronous=normal` was enough.

Are those strangers truly concerned about their safety or are they actually egoists that want to use the police to get the outdoors for themselves and other adults?
I can write aggregating allocation for a C with my eyes closed, in a tiny number of lines. These days I mostly wouldn't. If the target system thinks it's a good idea to add a header to every 32 byte allocation, that's their problem. No worthwhile malloc implementation does that, other than in a debugging configuration, where it adds "red zones".

The calculations in my other post show that it's not as simple as that next pointer being pure overhead compared to open addressing.

Frankly? None at all. We have past the point of no return. We can try to limit the damage now but there will be damages. There is no real political will to change, both in the government and in the people. Just look at the French and their protest when they have to work a few more years because their country would collapse otherwise. Or the anger when prices of goods that were already heavily subsidized rise, such as agriculture and fossil fuels or cheap toys that have to be shipped across the planet.

People want changes, but few of them are willing to accept the personal sacrifices that come with such changes.

Developing countries without robust infrastructure and wealth will have problems. Those living in rich and powerful countries may have less comfortable lives but it is likely they won't have to worry about "living" at all. It is developing countries like those in Africa and Middle East that will bear the brunt.

SMP was sort-of included mid System 7. I doubt many programs took advantage of it because the programming model isn't like async GCD-based with origins in NeXTSTEP (NS...) like it is now in macOS X+. I'm guessing there wasn't much to take advantage of multiple processors except specialized professional apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, PageMaker, QuarkXPress, LightWave, Maya, and not much else. That's the only reason they could justify their prices, effectively competing in a similar space as NeXTSTEP was.
Every job is about solving problems. A programmer solves problems via programming.

That’s what programming means. Telling the computer what to do in a language it understands. We are typically well practiced at abstract, logical problem solving, because code has logical constructs. But if you are not writing code, you are not programming.

Now a program is an interface between some practical need and the computer. Of course, one needs to understand and know about both what one requires and what one provides. But there is no fundamental difference to any other craft in that regard.
The criticism stems from people extracting disproportionate benefits from a stable society and not paying back their fair share through application of convoluted financial instruments available only to elites. You want to live in Somalia and protect your money in an offshore haven? Great. But do that in a nation that gives you a safe place free of roving bandits and you owe something back.

That doesn't seem fair to me. An example from my job—we had a SEV 0 incident, and an _extremely_ important partners was calling our CTO directly to find out details, estimated time to resolution, etc. Being able to clearly articulate the problem at the CTO → 3rd party level in a way is a pretty important example of managing up in my opinion.

NASA is part of this project. They are writing SpaceX a check to develop Starship and use it as part of the Artemis program.

NASA also wrote SpaceX checks for the development of Falcon 9, the Dragon cargo capsule for space station resupply missions, the Dragon crew capsule for space station crew missions, and various other probe and satellite launches along the way.

I think these were good contracts that benefited both organizations massively, let SpaceX survive, and let NASA contract for services without paying the entire development cost since that was shared with SpaceX's own investment and other customers.

But it's definitely not a situation that can be boiled down to SpaceX vs NASA, it's been SpaceX and NASA together since the Falcon 9 development program began.

There are always people who blame cars every time this topic comes up, but my life is no more automobile-dependent today than it was growing up as a millennial. I live in the same metro area, on a very similar street, and yet the parents in my neighborhood today generally give their kids a fraction of the freedom I had growing up.

The "cars" angle feels more like a favorite boogeyman around here than an actual explanation for the change.
However, US states are vastly more interconnected than EU countries. We all (well, mostly) speak the same language, we all use the same currency and always have used the same currency, you can walk or drive across the borders of any states with nobody checking or caring, and indeed states don't need to take individual responsibility for protecting their borders militarily. You can live and work in any state you want and move to or work in a different state at any time. The US military is mostly nationalized. The state-based National Guard does exist, but it's quite small and weak compared to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. And the National Guard doesn't have nuclear weapons! Imagine if individual US states controlled nukes...
Here's an early version of the Bing prompt. Last I heard it was already on version 96, and that was a few weeks ago: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/#prompt-leaked
I think there was a historical change that has complicated our conversation about status.

In the 50's, the peak of this, it seemed like many people got a 'deal' that went something like this: you & your work colleagues could afford a house, car, and the costs associated with several children, starting in your 20's. All of those things at a pretty high level actually (ie not a terrible unsafe house, not a broken down jalopy, etc.) In fact, only one of you in a marriage would have to work: one salary was enough.

In that situation - and this is where a lot of these attitudes to status first evolved - high status can be treated as a "who cares?" thing. You and the 1950's CEO making 5x as much as you do both have a few well fed & healthy kids, right? In a hand-wavey sense you can say you're 'the same.'

Well, times have changed.

Now the fight is a lot more desperate. Higher status can be the difference between affording a house, or not; having kids, or not. The ability to live a middle class life is much more on the line.

So while in the 50's, the advantages to being more high status seemed almost cosmetic, today, they're anything but.

Not so much about the danger, but Japanese culture is much different from the US; being a collectivist society there is immense pressure on each person to do the right thing. Anyone who doesn't fit in can suffer immense social consequences. This is instilled at a societal level, so that is one reason that everything is so clean, there is not as much danger, etc., but it comes with its own downsides.

I have a few questions:

1. What's the tech sector there like? For a software developer who doesn't mind working for the Financial Sector.

2. How expensive life, generally, is in the Cayman?

3. What about opportunities to start your own thing/company to service the financial industry there. How competitive is it? How easy to get your foot in the door?

There was a time when Microsoft themselves realized the crapware experience sucked.

Back in the Windows 8 days, Microsoft had a few physical mall shops trying to capture some of the Apple Store magic. One of their selling points was "Signature PCs"-- guaranteed to have nothing on there but Windows and drivers, no vendor bloat.

A while back I was wondering if I could have J-style notation for handling arrays on GPU. This lets me do that, and the Python/Numpy interface is a wonderful bonus. Awesome implementation! A few exploratory questions:

1. I've written a bit of J for Advent of Code/Project Euler, and I love J's tacit/point-free style. Does KlongPy have hooks and forks? What is the general difference between J and K/Klong/KlongPy?

2. Have you considered adding PyTorch as a backend, in addition to numpy/cupy? Array programming on GPU with autograd would be a magic combination.

3. Would it benefit to rewrite some of the verbs (or add new/optimized verbs) in C? I know numpy has an ok C API, and I've tried the C FFI in J with interesting results.

Again, beautiful work -- starred the repo, bookmarked, I hope to check this out sometime this summer. Thank you so much for sharing! (also thanks to Nils for your work!)
It doesn't seem clear to me that there is actually a greater risk from cars now than our generation grew up with, considering that traffic deaths have actually steadily been going down in the US since the '70s [1]. The same way that media (social and otherwise) keeps getting better at keeping everyone anxious about kidnappers and neglectful parents all the time, it's quite conceivable that it achieves the same thing for vehicle-induced accidents. In its quest for eyeballs, it naturally provides everyone with the message that resonates best with their biases - law-and-order types readily accept anything that confirms the dangers of crime, gender roles types readily accept anything that confirms the dangers of irresponsible mothers, and urbanist technocrat types readily accept anything that confirms the dangers of selfish individual motorists.

This has been the case for a while. The CCP knows about it and have been kind of using it well. The people leaving China don't actually sever their ties with the CCP and in some cases, actually help spread their influence.

I think of this less as a sign of trouble for the CCP but more of a way for China to extend their power across the world.

I've had high status and low status experiences. In my 30's I was worth a couple million as a software developer. In my 50's I was broke, homeless and rejected by everyone. I'd say there are pros and cons of both experiences, but I don't think it's worth going into them because I think both experiences are different for everyone.

Now that I'm recovered, I should mention status seeking is also a well known problem in the spiritual community. You've probably noticed people who have a big ego about being "awakened and enlightened"
