Starlink doesn't cost $100 a month in Nigeria
Yes this also works but the reason I went with "L-K-J-I-H-G-F" over this deals with the fact that I can get each letter distinctly enunciated whereas if I mash the last line as you did there can be some muddying of the first two letters and you end up with another "elemental pee" problem in teaching the letters.

I think F and E are too easy to turn into "effy" when you sing it out.

It's a personal preference. Yours works too.
Taiwan and modern mainland China have about a century of separation at this point, with very different historical paths. China: civil war -> WW II -> civil war -> communist rule -> several decades of int'l isolation. Taiwan: Japanese colony -> western aligned dictatorship -> liberalized democracy. Recent Taiwanese history has been less tumultuous in many ways, and many aspects of traditional (pre-20th century) Chinese culture are relatively more intact; particularly in areas like religion.
when people (like you) use "productivity" and "value" and "stakeholder" i generally write them off because they are uselessly vague abstractions. its so irritating to simplify things in this way, there's basically nothing to talk about at that level.
Cleveland, Dallas, Chicago, Denver? Every large city is like that.

You can totally leave your bag in the car and it'll most likely be fine in Santa Barbara, Pleasanton, Livermore, Truckee, ... (outside tourist areas).

As others said, it's about social cohesion of which there is little, especially in large cities but more and more small towns as well.
I'd trust their manager or skip-level manager more than I'd trust them. Lots of rank-and-file workers really have no idea how they generate value for the organization. Until you've spent a lot of time managing people or at least sitting in on management decisions, it's hard to understand the kinds of concerns that drive corporate decision-making. The fact that a corporate minion thinks their job is pointless means the job actually is pointless like 10% of the time, or that the minion just has no idea how the org works like 90% of the time.
Best theory yet.
That’s not the impression I had. It was immediately clear that switching branches in Gitless did what Git always should have done and that was enough for me

Unfortunately it doesn’t work on Windows.
For DevOps/Platform Engineering, I found that companies are either ridiculously overstaffed and are developing their own database orchestration from scratch (fun, but not effective in most organizations) or 3 people do everything related to running software somewhere as soon as someone shouts at them. And probably all kinds of permission clicking. Worst when someone in one of those small teams goes off the rails and uses something cause they want to have fun with it (ask me about the bare metal ceph cluster we barely use and nobody knows how to fix when it inevitably breaks)

Most religions don’t allow for same sex relationships or transgender people.

Having religious people steering a community is dumb in general, no matter whether they are christian-religious or muslim-religious.

Hopefully this experience will open somebody’s eye.

Another category of bullshit jobs are the pyramid scheme academic degrees. It’s one thing to work a useless job in private industry where nobody is forced to fund you, but it’s a significantly bigger problem when your publicly funded philosophy degree only qualifies you to teach philosophy on a taxpayer tenure.
FCVs are projected to be cheaper than BEVs by all the modeling in the literature.

Going with a lower pressure tank saves money at the cost of reduced range. The problem is booting a hydrogen station network big enough to support a low range FCV (< 200 miles).

But even building expensive carbon fiber high pressure tanks is going to eventually be much cheaper than huge batteries filled with semi-rare minerals that will increase in price as battery market demand increases. We should talk about what peak <Battery Mineral> will mean alongside Peak Oil.
Anecdote: spent a week in SF May 2022. We had a great time. I mostly worked but took plenty of detours on foot, bus, and bike—my wife roamed solo for most of the week. I can think of one scenario that gave me /pause/, but didn’t pass through anything I’d consider unsafe. This was mostly during the daytime fwiw, but I don’t make a habit of wandering anywhere at night.

We stayed on the edge of the tenderloin and walked to the mission to get calibrated socially. Yes, there were people living on the street, and def having mental health issues. But on the whole the city felt like a very active and enjoyable (albeit expensive) place to live.

I don’t mean to discount individual experiences of crime, only to say I really enjoyed our stay and it seems still to be a vivacious place.
> There is also a skin in the game effect that even a paid random plumber is not actually that invested in doing a good job and, while you cannot compete in terms of speed of executing a fix, or possession of special tools, you can compete - and exceed - on final quality simply because you really care about the final outcome.

I have experienced this recently, as I have been making the rounds through various lawn care companies. I'm on my fourth one in the past four years, and I just have not been able to find one that truly cares about the lawn with the same love and detail that I would. And why should they? I am just one of many lawns they take care of each month.

Although I still generally lean towards the parent commenter's philosophy of paying the experts to do what they are good at, there are just some areas where the extra level of care and attention is worth the decrease of efficiency in getting the thing done.
You must not have read the book because Graeber was pretty clear that he wasn’t making suggestions of what ought to be, he was simply diagnosing the issue and providing a framework to think of something better.
Merge can always be used and rebase is a good tool for certain circumstances. And some people argue for using only one over the other.

Your preaching is contentless.
Thanks for this. You are indeed correct. I've pushed a fix and also added a race test to confirm the fix.
I didn’t have much of an intention of boosting my karma btw. I just saw this video linked on HN today in another thread.
Dunking on VC is a useless takeaway.

Ignoring snark, VC's and founders giving pitch decks are above-average educated intellectual demographics. This shows how much more convincing current LLM are than the majority of the population. Social media can have regular peoples' voices drowned out by a flood of more persuasive bots. Instead of actually talking issues out amongst each other, even on HN, it could be a deluge of output from "Give me the most convincing argument why they stole the election from Trump."

Now imagine what will happen with state of the art LLM in a few years...

Catholics see what you say, and unfortunately, the right thing to do is to say "no", if we are to be consistent. We live measured by centuries, not years, so maybe we'll be okay.
If you do the math on the CO2, the emissions per passenger mile is significantly worse for a motorbike than for subway or bus -- regardless of the power source for the train or bus.

But, again, I don't think this proposed fee/tax is aiming at pollution or carbon emissions per se, more at the congestion itself.
> For instance, why rebasing something already pushed to public often leads to false merge conflicts

This sounds like obscurantism.

What bad thing happens if students just assume that rebasing something already pushed to public will cause merge conflicts, and just never do that?
Well, world debt went from 5T to 305T while world GDP went from 33T to 96T in the same period

As ratio we went from to 16.5% to 317%.

Same question. Is this sustainable?
For certain segments of users. Especially with unlimited data, starlink is cheaper once you pass certain data thresholds
Yeah right - just what I need - a bajilion 3rd party apps with window manager access to do basic functionality. Because what could go wrong with this approach.

Leftpad philosophy sucks, having a functional batteries included OS is a good thing.
Domestic postcards cost $0.48 and international costs $1.45 (which is not any discount from 1oz letter, unlike domestic).

They could also mail them from another country (which might also have cheaper print costs), especially since this is all first-class and there is no guarantee of delivery speed.

For example, it looks like sending an airmail postcard from China is 5 CNY which is about $0.70, less than half the US rate. If you can find a printer there of equal or lesser cost, that's a huge savings. If you want to really stretch things, you can use surface mail (which USPS does not offer) for 3.50 CNY/$0.49 which is less than the cost to send it domestically within the US.
Show HN: Easy-to-Use gRPC-Web Proxy Built with Nix/Docker
I work a lot with gRPC services and recently investigated the use in some of my JS apps. I found that gRPC-Web cannot directly communicate with regular gRPC services, requiring to set up some proxy (most likely envoy with its built-in filters).

In an effort to make setting up such a proxy easier, I created a ready-to-use Docker image based on envoy. Its parameters can be customized through the run instruction, making it possible to apply it to a wide variety of use cases. It support Intel and ARM-based machines natively.

The proxy is built entirely using nix, even the Docker image itself is created straight from nix expressions. The release process is automatic, meaning that every merged PR will automatically trigger a new release.

I hope to make using gRPC services from browsers easier with this small proxy. Please let me know about any feedback you might have regarding this project!
No it doesn't. We don't have any magic that can create decades worth of mutations across the entire genome.
> Merge squash works every time.

Which is a particular kind of rebase except the final commit gets cherry-picked to the target branch (instead of rewriting the original branch).
A lot of folks forget just because they don’t understand or agree with it doesn’t mean there isn’t understanding or agreement in it.
And I would guess by what now are "green" and carbon zero companies
it was so bad, I actually took a screenshot and was going to post it, but I guess imgur doesn’t allow anonymous uploads anymore. Wonder how long that’s been the case.

I’ll look for a decent looking photo host that’s not going to mercilessly exploit my metadata and edit and post the screed cap.

I wonder when they cut IMAP/POP3 access to Gmail.
>It’s not even possible anymore to install things you compile without a bunch of red tape scary warnings

If you're compiling the code yourself you can do this no problem. Compile it and move the executable to somewhere in your PATH. No scary warnings.
No? Why would I be?
That’s funny, I almost asked about TCC, but decided not to because I wasn’t sure it could be easily adapted to your custom VM :)

For Lua and file system access, is that only with the standard library? If not, that would be very surprising!
thank you! the very existence of a "Target" store was not looked upon well, for a very long time.

anyway the majority of the City is Asian; not the people who want attention all the time, or the people who spend more than half the year elsewhere.. this is provably true, not my opinion
Ha! Not bad at all.
> You could argue that the people who have that specific bit of code would have a decent right to sue,

Note that it is _my_ code that Copilot regurgitates, and at least 50 lines of it as I kept prodding it. I didn't actually put it in Github, but some scammer decided to mirror it there. It is a popular program, but not that popular, so I just can't accept the argument that "these models reproducing a copyrighted program is a rare situation".

It is actually a frequent occurrence, and this dismantles the majority of this type of arguments.

> Which is why I made that Photoshop analogy. You can use it and get it to output someone's copyrighted work. The fact that you can do that doesn't make photoshop itself a problem.

Photoshop analogy is still not really working. These models have been trained on copyrighted programs and can reproduce portions of them on demand based on short prompts (or at least significantly shorter than the actual portion of the program). Photoshop _cannot_, unless you literally load the original artwork on it or literally reproduce it in the program action by action (or pixel by pixel).

There is simply no way to argue that Photoshop is a derivative work of 3rd party X's artwork, specially if Photoshop creators didn't even have access to X's artwork; but there is ample opportunity that the model _is_ a derivative work of 3rd party programs, specially when by their own admission they used my program's code to build their tool.

In addition, and based on a strict interpretation of today's legal definitions, I could build a case that model infringes on my copyrights, from the mere fact that my programs were used for the construction of the model. It doesn't really matter what you think about the particularities of the model; there was no human in the loop, and therefore it is impossible for the model to be anything other than a derivative work. For Photoshop I just cannot have a case (unless, e.g. the brushes of photoshop were "trained" by a program from my artwork).

> The data of these things are trained on is absolutely massive and the final files are not nearly so large. The compression ratio would be absolutely bonkers if that was what was going on here

Yet it happens. Is it a matter of numbers? Would a very clever compression algorithm suddenly strip from its output the copyright protections of its input? Unless it was a bonkers algorithm, like always decompressing to the same string, I rather doubt anyone would claim that.

> You've got a picture and you're going to claim that this AI model that was trained on 7 billion pictures or something like that is derivative of your work?

The model is literally trained on my picture; how can it _not_ be a derivative of my work?

Not to mention that the discussion quickly goes moot when the model can reproduce _my picture_ (in this case, my code) on demand, as is the case here.

If it could reproduce my code without having been trained on it, you could have had a (weak) case... something equivalent to clean-room reverse engineering. But this is not the case at all; these models have literally consumed copyrighted code as input.
Yes. For sure. I love sex and I am an older guy. Many women love a jacked guy. For me the risk reward ratio was totally worth it. I did it from 16 to 19 years of age (not sensible) and then from 49 onwards (sensible). 250mg a week and under you get virtually no side effects. Most certainly not roid rage. Only positive mental attitude adjustments. 500mg and over you know about it. Many side effects, not positive. I weigh about 95kg naturally.

> As part of the first semester you take linear algebra and analysis, starting out with the basics of formal logic

There is not enough time to learn the basics of formal logic and linear algebra and/or analysis in a single class, but I think what you’re referring to is an introduction to proof techniques like induction, modus tollens, quantifiers, etc.

Every math and computer science department in the US that I’ve ever heard of teaches these topics, but I wouldn’t call it a formal logic class.
For what it's worth, when I have to use mac os I am shocked by the lack of basic window management functionality, so I can believe that OP is too.

By shocked I mean that I literally don't understand how Apple has produced something so terrible, when their hardware (and most of rest of the software) is so good.

It only needs high pressure for high range. You could build cheaper FCVs that would cover commuter needs like basic BEVs do without high pressure tanks.
I thought about this a lot. I believe to a large extent the feeing of a job being “bullshit” is driven by ultra-specialization while at the same time wider context is increasingly complex and hard to grasp. Another factor is increased regulatory burden and jobs associated with it. Having said that I do believe that there are some areas where influx of money causes the empire building (some teams at large tech companies and ballooning admin staff in universities are probably two examples I immediately think of).

1. What is the status of using HTTP content on HTTPS pages with subresource integrity? I think we could save on traffic if CDNs would serve content over HTTPS and HTTP, and browsers allowed embedding the latter without warnings into HTTPS served pages provided page had subresource integrity information.

2. Wasn't there some work on serving presigned HTTPS requests? The one everyone blamed Google (?) for cause they wanted it to put slices of other websites inside the search results. Might make sense to resurrect that work.
No, Japan is not immune to this. There is industry lobbying in Japan though nowhere close to the ludicrous and unique state that is the U.S.

However, corporations, industry organizations and unions are only allowed to donate to political parties and their fund-managing organizations. There are no such things like Super PAC's in Japan.

Super PAC's are effectively legalized bribery schemes that permit billionaires to provide unlimited amounts of money to representatives and completely influence all policy decisions. Representative effectively become simple and mindless puppets of the briber class. (I refuse to call them donors)

I don't think so, because it wasn't until the reforms of Marius in the late republic that the military became a job for poor people. Before that, you were expected to be wealthy enough to purchase your own equipment, which made military service a privilege where the middle and upper classes could obtain honor, not a career where poor people could obtain food.

The military career open to the poor would have been in the navy, as a galley rower, not the army.

If you move the mouse up to the top of the screen in fullscreen mode the menu bar will reappear, so things work about like normal (although that certainly wasn't obvious the first time I pressed the green button). The double-click on the title bar is "Zoom" mode, which you can activate with Window >> Zoom. But I agree, it's not obvious, nor is it obvious what "Zoom" means.

I'm not sure quite what situation you're describing with the secret key thing, but in case it's relevant: Cmd-tab selects applications, not windows. If the application has no windows open, then when you cmd-tab to it, you won't switch to a window (but you will see the menu bar switch). The situation cannot occur in Windows because it insists that an application must have at least one window open to interact with it at all.
Sure, managerial feudalism is totally a thing but also CEOs are aware of that and shareholders are aware of that which is why layoffs and reorgs and such happen periodically at any company in a competitive business.

But the rank-and-file employee who's trying to assess whether their job generates value will have a very hard time doing this at all accurately. You need a lot of business strategy context to understand why the company is actually employing you (as opposed to what they tell you, which is always going to be "because you're amazing and talented and a valued team member")
We are not even talking about large cities. Cities like Pleasanton, Santa Clara, even Tracy have problems. We went to a restaurant in Santa Clara, just across Kaiser; a couple of guys came in, broke into four/five cars and stole laptop bags. Yes, there are cameras everywhere. So, it is mandatory to carry your laptop and other valuables, whenever you want to go to shop/eat etc.
It’s the complete lack of magic. What you see in front of you is pretty much exactly what happens. You don’t have to keep a cathedral of language semantic subtleties in your head when reading someone else’s code.

Corrupt law enforcement is hardly a US invention. That's frankly just silly. In fact US police are... middle of the pack at worst. It's true that there are some policy implications in the US that seem weird, in particular the level of weaponry deployed and the politicization of activist slogans like "Defund", but if anything that speaks to police behavior in the US being more criticized and more constrained.

America is fine, basically. Yes, cops are empowered bullies who do bad things. But that's been true for thousands of years. We're farther down the path to trying to fix that, not behind.

That's because it's not Maximize, it's Zoom, which uses content hints to resize the window while not wasting space with useless empty space inside the window, thus still allowing one to see other windows. When there's no content size hint it falls back to what Windows and Linux call Maximize, which is more like a windowed fullscreen mode.
