Me too. Since my grandmother was a child, we've always had German Shepherds in our family. When I was a kid for the first time our dogs started getting hip dysplasia. My mother and grandmother had never seen before, despite being involved in the dog training community.

I’ve had 2 purebreds in a row with major health issues, even though I searched for working line breeders. I’ve given up on purebreds, and now have a GSD mix. He’s a gorgeous animal, going on 11 without any hip issues or health issues.

The AKC in their pursuit of the perfect look and willful ignorance of genetics has destroyed the German Shepard breed.

Given one of the health-deleterious of gas cooking come from the nitrogen in the atmospheric gasses used for combustion: maybe it would make sense to have stoves that used a pure oxygen source alongside the methane. This would be more expensive and hazardous but as a result lead to stronger controls over the combustion process.
But gas lines are already down. If it were as easy as you said then NY would already have no grid problems.

The health outcomes for illnesses related to smoking are for sure better in the US.
Same here, also as a former bassoonist - each note on the bassoon has extremely unique timbre, and I find it very easy to identify them.

Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease, disability, and death in the United States.

• 40% of cancer deaths are related to smoking
• 80% of lung cancer deaths are related to smoking
• 33% of heart disease deaths are related to smoking

There's over half a million deaths a year from smoking and 10% are second hand smoking related.

I’m not quite sure we can call this a win yet.
This regulation feels quite frustrating to me, and several comments in this thread illustrate why.

This change is being promoted as a critical step in the fight against climate change. (See most news articles over the past two years covering this.)

But when you dig into the details, it seems like the regulation may not have much effect on climate change at all.

When you point this out to advocates, you'll get an entirely different argument, this time about personal health. I don't think the personal health justification stands up to scrutiny, for two reasons:

1. If you buy a home and want it to have a gas stove, why is it the state government's place to say that you can't do so, for your own health?

2. According to research I've seen, vented fume hoods seem to mitigate any health effects; if that's true and a state government really wants to intervene, why not spread awareness or perhaps mandate that newly constructed buildings with gas lines also have venting for fume hoods? (Incidentally, requiring venting for fume hoods would be a nice baseline for New York.)

I haven't seen any well-reasoned debate on this topic, possibly because the rationale for the regulation is, in fact, incoherent.

Actually I am not sure I want to go into AI. It's fascinating to watch from the sidelines but it doesn't look like a lot of fun. In fact, programming as a career started becoming a lot less fun a decade or so ago — not nearly as fun as when I started in the 1990's.

Maybe I'm mistaken though, likely there are a lot of cool as-yet-undiscovered uses for AI that would be fun to explore. Maybe a few of those will come about and draw me in.
On the server I use WebSockets between peers. I use my own WebSocket implementation but I try to stay within RFC6455 even when not talking to browser just so that I have a uniform format processing.

I can see how protobuf would be handy if you are just talking only to a database or directly transmitting a binary BLOB, but I rarely do any of that. Most of my messaging are microservices used by the application so I just use JSON.stringify for each message. I know there is overhead to that, but it works well for me. I should probably find a way to pull my application data directly into a binary format and back out without string handling, but I have not figured this out yet. Instead of 7x faster than HTTP my message handling would be 10-11x faster than HTTP.
Thank you so much for making it, when I started getting into the habit of digital journal, it had helped me a lot to not fix grammar and to not cringe at the things I've just written down.
I often run into the issue of forgetting to set node affinity in my deployments and my x86 backend not running on an ARM server we have for some reason (nothing we do requires ARM, so idk why we have those nodes)

I suspect part of the moon landing failure has to do with the primacy of physics in our technology in that era compared to electronics today.
I believe Carma Reincarnation used a completely new system, I believe they talked about that in the dev blog. While the system may have been similarly powerful in theory, I distinctly remember it also being less fun than the Carma 2's system, somehow less reactive. Carma 2's approach essentially allowed for the car to be crushed into any polygonal form, best illustrated when you drove the car into the underside edge of an angled bridge or similar. It was rad and so much fun, considering and that was 1998 which still blows my mind.
Elon:

- if not #1 most famous person on twitter, then surely in top 10.

- richest, or second richest, or third richest, i mean it changes by week, but he is up there, person in the world. I bring it up because he is certainly a person with resources and influence.

- owns twitter. Which is relevant because if one wanted to change something about twitter, i think he has the tools at his disposal.

- publicly went on record, not like anyone was pulling his tongue, about his agenda for bringing change to twitter.

… and having said all that - the replies on his posts specifically are somehow not representative of what twitter is, and it is “unfair” to to use them as an example? I mean if >I< were in charge - I’d start there.
Hours is still an awfully long time to have dangerous chemicals floating around in your air after each time you cook a meal.

My apartment has a gas stove, which I was was induction. The gas stove plus the lack of a hood that vents to the outside means the indoor air quality gets pretty messed up. I usually have to open some windows when cooking, which is not great in winter.
I don’t see him overstating anything. He didn’t say everyone experienced it.
Using grep, it looks like they mostly use unsafe code to interface with existing C libraries. In those cases it's roughly as tricky as writing C in the first place IMO, so still probably a net win.
What was beneficial to them about saying the apostles all ran away on the night Jesus was betrayed, or that they were hiding in fear a few days after the crucifixion? Or by saying that Jesus told Peter (who was recognized as the early church's leader), "Get behind me, Satan"? The sense I get from the gospels is that the apostles had a lot of embarrassing things happen to them, and yet the apostles were held up by the early Christian leaders as the Twelve. If anything, it seems like the early Christian leaders had to keep what they were given in spite of all the negative things that happened.
I’ve been trying out many reverse proxies for stateful, low-traffic websocket connections, but unfortunately they all eat so much ram. Even nginx, with tuning, use at least 10x ram/conn of a well tuned naked uWebSocket deployment with TLS.

Traefik was much more ram hungry than nginx, and iirc Caddy as well (at least 2 goroutines per conn). It’s probably fine (and worth it) for the vast majority of request-response web apps, but all of these extra layers have a cost. And that’s still nothing compared to the overhead of say k8s with all bells and whistles.

Anyway, as someone who’s been out of the loop on backend for many years, I am quite shocked at the level of resource waste, even among the projects with a strong reputation. You always hear the complaints about frontend bloat, but these days backend seem to have caught up.
> Now CAR and CDR don't convey a lot of meaning I agree. But that's just a matter of poor naming. They should (in my opinion) be called 'first' and 'rest', or something similarly meaningful and descriptive.

Some Lisps do that, but I think it's important to remember what CAR and CDR actually do, which isn't always related to lists: They access what's being pointed to by the pointers in a cons cell, which can be used to create multiple data structures in a given Lisp, so keeping the names abstract prevents the code from having the wrong names all over the place. For example, if I'm using cons cells to construct a key-value store, CAR isn't "head of list" it's "key" and CDR isn't "tail of list" it's "value" especially if the cons cell looks like this: (a . b) such that the CDR isn't a list of any kind.

In Common Lisp, of course, there are more efficient data structures for a lot of what older Lisps used cons cells for, so this is less of a concern, but I still think it's important to prevent confusion.
I found it really to be the perfect shell script replacement.
People usually will use python for more complicated shell scripts but deno is just awesome at this. Just run the file and eventually cache the dependencies for the next run. No node modules or pip install etc Also, you can use typescript without any pre-bundling.

The security model works well for this use case also. If your shell script is only supposed to read a few environment variables and not make network calls, you are covered.
Do you have the same opinion on fire escapes? After all, it should be my choice to endanger myself so I can pay a little less in rent.
Could they google your name and find them?

In unexpected absences a manager may have options you as a dev do not, like asking another department to temporarily reassign someone or using contracting budgets or the ability to negotiate project delivery expectations differently. Likewise Bob in distress may be more comfortable confiding in a single person to relay information to than trying to meet the demands of an entire team, while someone else might not want any time off at all because they need the mental distraction. It all depends, and if you're a dev focused on developing a product you may not be correctly focusing on supporting a person who may not even realize what they really need from you for support.

In the events of an underperforming manager, CYA. Put stuff into writing, document failures or consequences of inaction, note who was present and how decisions were made, email it to yourself to build a case to defend yourself from them. If it's a scenario where the manager isn't taking corrective action you eventually will need to escalate or go over their head, so you'll be dealing with two HR problems at once. Ideally you have an open dialog and skip levels with a bad manager's boss to raise concerns with and also ideally you have treated your HR reps with kindness because they are now your ally. If their management is good they'll either get mentored to improve, sidelined into a different scenario they're better fit for, or coached out of the org.

Or you bail and find greener pastures. A bad manager that's tolerated means there's bad upper management too and calls into question the value of trying to stick it out. Even in the current market, software is still in demand. A single exit interview about a bad manager isn't going to get them fired but a few people that lay their departure at their feet will get noticed.

On the other hand, many places will have job performance descriptions or criteria for management just like they do for a developer. It's entirely possible that someone you perceive to be underperforming is actually still meeting expectations for a coaster and you're comparing them to nearby overperformers trying to move up, or maybe you're conflating personality or management approach mismatches you dislike for performance, or that their hands are tied and they're just as frustrated as you are (maybe more) but can't overtly say that to you. Politics can be tricky and people management is a soft skill, it's hard to objectively measure differing scales of underperformance.

FWIW, as a manager I haven't necessarily tried to get rid of my high performers but I've always been transparent and realistic about promotion potential and when someone wants more than what's available I've encouraged them to train or grow in those ways and have been happy for the people who've given me resignations to move on to something bigger and better. Acknowledging the limits of the job or career growth I have to offer someone seemed unavoidable.
Why is that a feature? ...interesting :) Our stoves here usually have some heat-based protection, where you have to hold the knob pressed in until a tiny rod heats up (usually 2, 3 seconds) and after that you can release it and the gas will stay on. Without power, you just need a ligher (or anything releasing a spark) to ignite the gas. Also, the default configuration for gas stoves is 3x gas cooktop + 1x electric, so most people are covered in both cases.
Dollars to donuts the rotary will be easier to manufacture and maintain than the diesel. It's got fewer parts and the parts themselves are way simpler. Lubrication's easy if you don't care about efficiency or emissions, which the military doesn't.
> Conservative media bubble told their flock that 87,000 IRS federal agents were being hired to come to everyone's houses

Did they actually say that, cause that sounds pretty hyperbolic to what their narrative actually was, which is that 87k agents were being hired which would effectively be targeting middle class and small businesses, instead of big corps.

I have friends who were were wrongfully audited, and it’s a huge costly, stressful burden.

I don’t think it’s wrong to question how the IRS is managing its budget.

Just because California sucks at something doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea.

Just like with Texas and wind turbines that lacked basic winterization, implementation details matter.
That's an absurd response. You don't need to carry today's dominant political manichaeanism into every aspect of your responses to events. Making decisions about what to do (whether to build, mine, manufacture) is all about making distinctions. I'm not against all new developments, and it's barely intelligible to be for all.
But I am (like nearly everyone in the world outside of the US-based libertarian contingent) against tiny numbers of people (literally a handful of billionaires) making decisions for the entire planet.
I wish they had video of the two-stroke design in operation. There's a bunch of their 4-stroke engines being demonstrated by this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDFAjCOM3iQ This one is interesting as it shows difference between their 4-stroke design and a standard wankel rotary in operation, wondering if the two-stoke variation looks like a combination between the two?
> Android, with root, is every bit as much a computer

Can you install a completely different OS on your Android phone? AFAIK no, whereas on Pinephone you can choose among 15+ systems and on Librem 5 currently among 4 or more. What about installing a mainline kernel?

> lack of social media and messaging apps

You can use Waydroid for Android apps, or install one of a few Matrix and Mastodon clients. Telegram works, too. Also, Flatpak apps work natively.

> I personally don't have any problem depending on Google, I have a problem with things being locked away with no alternative

To me these sound like the same problem. Google is restricting your freedom, not someone else.
Yup, and it hallucinates plenty with dev too, even over basic stuff like an NGINX config.

Given that it hallucinates in particular over measurements/specs/stats, I'd be extremely sceptical of taking a recipe from it, whether that's generated and original or coming from a known source.

Baking requires very specific measurements, the slightest mistake and it won't turn out well in most cases. Again, why go via an LLM and not a search engine to the actual source? It makes zero sense, especially if it only returns text and you can't see what the recipe produces if it's an existing thing.
To better represent how big of an effort it was. A non-trivial part of the economy was dedicated to get that project working. I think that is a better representation of the effort.
I was referring to "[you] don't know what you don't know." It's patronizing and comes across as dismissive to tell someone what they don't know.

Re-reading your comment I think you perhaps didn't mean the "you" as specifically the person you were talking to. So I can see how it wasn't intended as personal attack. Unfortunately it ended up coming across that way both to the GP and to me when I first read it, so probably to others as well.

On the plus side, I appreciate that you were simply trying to share your personal experience and the conclusions it has led you to. That's totally valid. On the minus side, you reacted to people objecting to what they felt was dismissive in your comment by getting into a flamewar-style spat about what you did and didn't say. That kind of thread just slowly degrades.

As you know, I've been asking you to adjust to HN more in the intended spirit of curious conversation for years now. I genuinely appreciate how much better your comments have gotten at that. You contribute a lot of good things when you do. But if you could calibrate say 10% further in the same direction, that would be helpful.
What other drawbacks are there and where will you go to? Alimony is going to be a thing in most Western countries.

The weird low-tech bureaucracy (which culturally extends well into the business world and is related to things like high physical currency usage) is to me one of the worst parts of Germany. IMO the taxes are not bad because you get a lot of benefits from government spending living there, it’s the low wages that are the real problem.
Read the article. They arent just “debunking” the seizing.

How can people arguing for the merits of banning gas and also pretend they don’t want the government to do it?
GPT 4 responds with cicada 3301 which as best asi can tell is a valid solve for your query.

* 3301 is one of three numbers that had to be added to get the .com url
* The Wikipedia page cites someone close to the group with "follow the white rabbit"
* Years don't quite match up but given that you only asked if it rang a bell, that is fair enough
The PATH variable in windows has a low character limit but if your path is properly set up as a REG_EXPAND_SZ, then you can just add more and more variables to it and I dont think the expanded version counts toward the character limit. One reason you shouldn't save your path variable changes from your terminal is that it implicitly converts to REG_SZ on save
> For example singers, musicians playing bowed stringed instruments or a trombone benefit from perfect pitch.

The benefit is rather small if you look at ear training for professional musicians and what properly trained relative pitch looks like. It basically doesn't matter anymore as soon as a professional musician holds his/her instrument. In short: There is basically no difference anymore as soon as the trained musician without perfect pitch gets provided 1 reference tone (which is why perfect pitch gets commonly attributed to people that do not have it).

It is more like a "shortcut" when it comes to ear training, but ultimately a professional musician with perfect pitch and a professional musician without pefect pitch arrive at basically the same destination in practice, making the advantage minimal when it comes to the things a musician actually does.

Rick Beato has a certain kind of obsession with the topic that makes it seem so much more important than it actually is in the real world.

Also noteworthy that there are disadvantages to perfect pitch (transposing instruments, losing it with age, etc.), and interesting video on that topic by Adam Neely [1] was already linked.

Surely there are other ways to incentivize non gas stoves than outright banning it in all new buildings.
Since she’s a timelord, can’t she just use her immense powers to heal?
Usually that works one of two ways:

1. Ground source heat pump -- which can work pretty much anywhere people live, but costs a lot more and people don't necessarily know about them.

2. Failover to resistive heating when it gets too cold outside. It's fine to do this in Montreal, because electricity is relatively inexpensive there. It's fine to do this in New York City, or even somewhere a little cooler like Boston, because you're doing it for max like 2 days a year even in an outlier year. Not sure if it's fine to do this in Buffalo.
From what I have heard about Patrick Buckland (the primary author of Carmageddon) he was quite into "banger racing" and so took his joy of the sport very seriously when coding what was I believe originally supposed to be a banger racing sim.

Gas furnaces don't work without power by default. The fan that pushes the hot air through your house won't work. Many gas furnaces have electrically powered safety features that won't allow the furnace to function if the power is out.
Can you explain wrist you mean by those two examples being different things?

Do you mean that 'res' evaluates to a different result in each?

Or that when you call 'object.method()' vs calling 'm()' you would get a different 'this' context?
And did you just demean the lifestyle of poor people? I have known modest looking habitats that the rich western world would frown upon. I have seen this kind of lean living. And thought it was quite sufficient.

Yes we have that law. I don’t know if it’s good or bad. What I do know is that a lot of the discourse around this area (and specifically new laws on content scanning for CSAM) hinges around the idea that (1) production of CSAM harms children, which is something that is obviously true. But also (2) that proliferation of old or fully-synthetic CSAM causes “addiction” that might lead to further real-world harm to children. The second point is concerning to me because it seems to be more an article of faith than something based in actual science.

It feels to me that there is a (very natural!) tendency to want all of this stuff to disappear, because it’s disgusting. But that this results in a certain degree of motivated reasoning where people feel that they must justify new (invasive) legislation by tightly binding it to the welfare of real children. I worry that these justifications might ultimately do a lot of damage, causing us to aggressively treat symptoms rather than doing much to heal the underlying disease.
