You reach out to an agency (generally CFTC and/or SEC). An attorney from that agency eventually contacts your attorney. You have a conversation. You hear nothing back, so you reach out again. A different attorney reaches back out again months later and you rehash the same conversation again. Repeat for years. Best case scenario it goes nowhere and you do voluntary third party audit/compliance/monitoring to demonstrate good faith. Worst case scenario despite any good faith you get a notice because you were already on their radar and the newest attorney smelled blood instead of just wanting to talk again.
why do we clutch pearls whenever a publication uses a "click-baity" title? at least it manages to a: get people to actually read the publication, and b. publisher/site makes money. nobody's running a charity of information in a capitalist society.

It's a cost of selling a kwh on an existing market with relatively low renewables penetration and supported by fossils. It's not a true aggregate cost of an energy system dominated by, say, solar.

Imagine we turn of all fossil generators tomorrow, forever. Solar panels will still be cheap, but instantaneous energy price in California will tend towards infinity every night, making solar-based generation an extremely expensive solution. That expense is not captured in Lazard's numbers.

Neither do they capture the cost of transmission lines and storage necessary to eliminate blackouts in that scenario. People talk a lot about the time it takes to build nuclear, but transmission lines aren't much faster, and unlike reactors they don't generate on their own.
This reminds me of a buddhist story that goes something like this: (tried to look it up but couldn't find it, chatgpt also didn't know)

There is this man and his brother is a monk. So he tells this monk "if you please the king, you don't have to live on rice and water anymore", where the monk replies: "if you learn to live on rice and water, you don't need to please the king".
Residencies lose money. The doctors that teach in them generally do not enjoy it(source my father who is a doctor and chairs a residency) and need to be paid extra to participate. There would be close to none without the federal subsidies.

Regardless of how fast the user is, I like i3 because it's very lightweight.
I've used pretty much all of them and in most cases you're sending the request via some message queue (front-end -> async to back-end -> message queue -> async returns to back-end DB), which is managed on the backend. I'm scratching my head as to why relying on the browsers threading to do seems like it offers any advantages...
i think if rails continues to push hotwire (turbo + stimulus, and perhaps strada?) and get a coherent story on view components, it will continue to take mindshare from the js hype of the last decade. mobile dev is in decline, and browser makers just released web notifications, web app support, webtransport, page transitions, etc., so the backend has largely reached parity for cross-platform development. no longer is json the natural data exchange medium for apps, but rather chucks of html that can be plopped right into the dom without js having to massage the response into shape on the frontend. js can return to being a frontend scripting language, its natural habitat, rather than being shoehorned into being a do-it-all platform language.
> Ask your mom how much money she made raising you.

You got that backwards: ask your mom how much money she SPENT on raising you, especially in comparison to her total income.
I have to sadly agree. An earlier article talking about the erosion of privacy was met with more "what's the big deal" commenting than I am comfortable with in an environment such as HN. For me, it illustrated a direction in technology workers' attitudes that is frightening. I expected better.

People -- and I will call out my fellow Americans in this -- don't seem to really care until it directly affects them and in significantly adverse ways. Up until that point, the attitude seems to be "I can still get by" and by the time that's not true, it's generations too late. But, hey, as long as you got yours, why should you care about your neighbor, right?

I agree, this is the first annoying question to ask.
As a seasoned club player, i believe to know that "clean Pawn up" means chess wise roughly what you think it means, namely:
a) You are in a position, where it really does make sense to count pawns, a so called
"quiet" position would be one of those.
b) Your opponent has no pawn compensation of any kind, not even in the form of a nuisance.
I personally learned this expression from GM Nakamura. Clean pawns were unknown before the "golden era of chess", you could utilize the idiom "ceteris paribus" instead, this was used by the old german vice WM Tarrasch.

Hence it should be clear to anyone that without engine assistance it is totally impossible to determine for 10^6 games if a certain material difference was "clean" or not. Most likely he just checked for a stability over n consecutive moves, at least this is the usual way.
Others have noted more problems, that might help put his highly deviating, washed out results in order.

His comment is a "fact", but mine is a mere "comment"?

Facts are facts, whether you like them or not, whether they help with your agenda or not, argumentation and discussion seeks nuance, argument, bring the nuance if you know it, educate your reader, being disingenuous about something doesn't help anybody, it makes them blind, it makes them not able to come up with the conclusion by themselves, they become deviant and defiant

The lenders need to revalue the properties so as to lower rents. This could bring an influx of independent stores in. However, downgrading of commercial real estate does have broader ramifications

1) render string at large font size to monochrome bitmap

2) loop over all pixels in the bitmap, writing spaces or asterisks depending on bit value

You can also render anti-aliased to grayscale and use blacker/whiter ASCII characters.

Many languages have libraries/support for #1, and for accessing individual pixels in a bitmap. If you have that, #2 is trivial.

The most difficult part may be to make sure to pick a font that allows you to do whatever you want to do with the ASCII art.
The problem is that whether or the lawyer is attempting to buy warm fuzzies or understand other people is reliant on internal state of the lawyer. As external observers, we can only hypothesize based clues.

Sometimes I do my own drywall work at my house. Not because it's more efficient (it'd be better to hire someone) but because I enjoy it in this sort of zen way. That's a really weird abstract sort of reasoning that utility calculations can't capture well.

If the lawyer works in the soup kitchen because the rest of their time is spent around rich people and they want to better understand the whole of human experience, that also can't be factored into the utility calculus.
> Somehow I doubt the current incarnation of these companies has much at all to do with their origin.

The origin of Pyrex is Corning, the Gorilla Glass maker. They divested Pyrex because they've got tired of dealing with the consumer market and wanted to focus on B2B sales.

The US market was acquired by (as shown) eager to make a quick buck on brand recognition. The European market was acquired by a different company which still manufactures borosilicate cookware to this day (and are not affected by this bankruptcy).

Eh, it's by and large annoyance with a lot of these "here's how to get organized" guides. I have a bad tendency to kinda accrue files and as a result need these types of organizatorial systems to make sense of it all.

The problem is that rather than being descriptive (as in "this works for me, see what works for you"), lots of these organization guides are prescriptive, which helps pretty much only the person who wrote them to begin with. It gets really grating after a while, especially if they offer things like templates that are a pain to actually refit for personal use. (Which to be fair, JD doesn't do, but the author very clearly has that type of workflow in mind - older versions of the JD website straight up recommended using airtable for organizing stuff, template iirc included.)

My annoyance with numbering individual files in JD in this case is pretty much the result of "nobody else works in your Dewey decimal system". Like, start working with any kinda enterprise-y management tool and you'll very quickly learn that a lot of software is not written with JD in mind because they assume control over an entire folder and organize it in a way that makes sense to them. That is a problem that often combines with when you start receiving external files which are a folder of dependencies with one file you can open in the aforementioned tool. Yes, you can often spend time to edit the internals to "correct" that document to the Dewey decimal system, but that creates extra overhead and can also sometimes gravely annoy the other person if the document has to be send back and forth a couple times.

In that case, it's just way more straightforward to assign a unique ID to the parent folder instead of spending upwards of 30 minutes fiddling with every incoming file.

As for adding author last name - that's just for shelf organization in libraries, libraries sort all books on author/title alphabetical level. DDC just adds another organizational layer on top of that for scientific books (most fiction and (auto)biographies usually ends up organized outside Dewey entirely for practical reasons). You can have multiple 595.789/BRO in a single library (dictionaries for example with multiple books will have the same DDC).
What does "hot and in-demand" even mean, exactly? All I'm saying is that based on my (admittedly limited and vague) dataset there seem to be plenty of companies happily running on Ruby (some with Rails, some without) and that "FAANG-type companies we all heard of aren't using it that much any more" doesn't actually mean all that much.

I'm not really sure what your point about senior/junior devs or "roles are not being filled" is.

(aside: please don't delete your post and post exactly the same identical post again to clear the downvotes on it).
Most people have never actually dealt with something like modern LLMs, so we haven't really developed the proper language to describe them and how they behave. It's either too simplistic and reductive (stochastic parrot, xerox machine) or presupposes sentience and intent ("fabricates","hallucinates", etc.)
Take your pick. You've so far only replied to the people calling you out for trying to cut off discussion, not to the people who are actually taking on the claims you consider to be so ironclad.

I'm personally not invested enough (or knowledgeable enough) in this topic to debate you on it, but if you're so sure of your position you'd do well to get out there and defend it.
The author appears to have fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the so-called "cargo cults" in the pacific. Our best understanding is that these cults amounted to scams conducted on a vulnerable population by their own leaders - leaders who had suffered irreparable damage to their ability to control the local economy when the US army briefly thrust their culture into post-scarcity.

The infinite scroll of mindless content generated by the big social networks is also about creating (a shallow facsimile of) post-scarcity. An endless stream of hobbies and lifestyles that could be yours - much like late night TV offered your parents the same promises for the low, low price of $14.95 excl. shipping and handling.

You can spot this in the way these companies constalty try and undermine the livelihoods of the content creators whose labour they rely on, or try and replace creators wholesale with AIs. If there was a genuine desire to push the social aspects of these systems, they'd be considerably more invested in creating a viable living for creators who participate in the system - instead these networks are just a tool for profit and power.

It's sensory. People prefer to volunteer in person because we're social beings that crave validation and contact, and enjoy being closer to the metal with altruism. Receiving gratitude also feels good, and there's something to be said for desiring to spend surplus leisure time taking action in some form or another.

At any rate there's no mutual exclusivity between donating and volunteering, and no one really follows an imperative to absolutely maximize the dollar amount they could donate (no one making money, anyway). I suspect that very few are particularly motivated to work overtime hours just to give it all away.
When it comes to adtech, I don't immediately think of Big Tech, but they are in fact the largest aggregators of data which feeds into the system. I always wondered why there isn't enough government pushback or regulation to limit this. I guess this post is maybe part of the reason.

I think in the public sphere, many don't think of Big Tech as privacy intruders, even with Facebook's public failures, many continue to use their services. I'm not sure if most people care or don't care. But when Apple took the initiative to limit 3rd party cookies by asking it's users directly whether they wanted to allow it or not, the majority chose not to allow it. Which shows people don't want their data to be tracked.

On a related note, I don't think I've ever clicked on a banner ad on a site, or any twitter/youtube ad, etc. There's certainly an element of marketing that's brand awareness. But all the other metrics about click rates, and purchase intent, etc- I have no idea how this all adds up to the massive numbers that Big tech pulls in from ads on the Internet.
Admittedly I haven't written any ruby code in a very long time, but you only briefly touched on the reason we ran away from it after giving it a serious try:

> rails devs pay the bills with other tech or by maintaining legacy rails apps

That "maintaining legacy rails apps" job just doesn't exist with our PHP apps. Once properly tested and deployed PHP will generally work perfectly and smoothly for years with zero maintenance unless someone finds a bug that was missed in testing. You can pretty much setup a cron job to apply security patches and that's it. Maintenance done.

The only downtime I can recall was when our datacenter installed buggy firmware on their storage array and brought down every virtual machine we had with them... which was a pretty rare and unusual event (by the time they fixed it, we had already moved everything to another datacenter... and it seems we weren't alone because they went bankrupt).

With ruby that wasn't our experience at all. We found our production code would regularly just stop working and resources had to be pulled off other tasks with zero notice to figure out why/fix the issue. It was a productivity nightmare. Maybe that's improved now, but from reading the Shopify and GitHub blog posts they both seem to be taking on mammoth amounts of work to ensure their systems are reliable.

At the companies I work for (more than one) we expect anyone qualified to do work like that to be dedicating all of their time to other things. All of the apps we built in ruby were rewritten from scratch in PHP and we haven't had any regrets.

I've never really liked PHP and I actively hate JavaScript, but I've come to accept those two languages are just more practical than anything else. I'm definitely keeping an eye out for that to change though - Swift is look promising for example.

I love how each year they change the meaning of the questions. They started with loved vs dreaded technologies, then it became something like loved vs loved but not that much, now it is admired vs desired. Unfortunately they also change the wording of the questions so it becomes basically impossible to compare results from one year to another.

I laugh all the time about how The Source has survived both Radio Shack and Circuit City ownership.
As always the story has many angles but overall the trend is not good. There are parts of the city that used to be "just kind of sketchy" which now are basically un-walkable for the average person, especially those who don't know the city. You can't leave anything visible in your car otherwise you'll return to a vehicle with a lot more airflow. And it's clear the commercial occupancy rates haven't returned and may not for some time. None of this is particularly unique to SF, but a lot of things hit SF at once, which makes the incredibly high housing prices and rents just not palatable anymore.

It's still a great city and will surely return but the question is where is the bottom?
Note how the line ends with a backslash. That is escaping the newline so the command isn’t executing immediately. The next line begins with a pipe which is taking the input. It’s a way of separating multiple piped commands over several lines for readability. In other words, these are equivalent:

echo 'Something or other' | sed 's/or/and/'

and

echo 'Something or other' \
| sed 's/or/and/'
I have had good luck with MXRoute for this. They have a fairly strong antispam stance on their platform.
A materialized view is absolutely demoralized. The only distinction between something like a materialized view, an index, and just ad hoc representation of the same data in multiple places is that with an index and materialized view, it's explicitly considered to be a read only reflection of some underlying data, whereas some other structure is more likely to have common pitfalls such as not properly having a single source of truth.
There are smaller open-source options that you can use, however they don't quite live up to using large open-source model (which likely won't fit on your machine) or commercial models like those of OpenAI.
But why use React to do that when you can achieve the same thing on the backend?

> And without stops, you can get from say, Fort Sumner, NM (in the 48th most rural county in the US[0]) to Albequerque, NM in less than an hour.

Fort Sumner has less than 1000 people, the whole county is at 1,680. That sounds like about the least productive use of funds. Japan has high speed rail trains that could transport the entire town, with room to spare, in one go. It's a huge gamble to build it in the hopes people move to Fort Sumner and use it.

I tried linux desktop tiling window managers, and they work with the UX differently compared to MacOS window managers.

Rather than moving application windows as layers (and retain the ability to click-and-drag their window dimensions), tiling managers awkwardly force app windows into tiles (often with large gutters) and remove the ability layer windows and to click-and-drag window sizes.
