Excellent question: How would I ever know? If you never came to the platform there are still ways you may know. In our tiny test market(tiny is 4 sales), all four buyers came from our unique yard sign. All four sellers came from word of mouth. If 1000 properties in your are listed, that suggests 50 will sell in a year. How many would use a PropBox ad is unknown, but you may see a yard sign. I understand you logic and believe some will not come back. But lets see what it looks like in six months.
I wonder if there's any evidence of how many customers are lost because of dark patterns or general scumminess. I suspect it's not many. I generally try to avoid giving money to any company that actively hates it's customers. For example Amazon, which is the like going to the shadiest third world bazaar and having every scam in the book thrown at you each time you try to buy something.

Same for any company that uses chatbots or otherwise prevents customer support.

But my guess is that people only care about price, and we'll just see an even faster race to the bottom as people get more conditioned to using disrespectful interfaces.

Back to tipping, it's ironically the impersonalness of shitty automated service that enables this. Few self respecting people would ask for 20% tips when they did literally nothing and you served yourself. But a computer interface can shamelessly nag you for whatever.
I must not fear.

Fear is the mind-killer.

Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Individuals who rescue victims of job scams show how it is being done
FWIW, I often end up watching more Doug Demuro and Ian McCollum videos than Destin/SmarterEveryDay. To me, that’s widespread, but not all of YouTube.
Vehicle theft at a 'critical point' in Canada, with car stolen every six minutes
Whoa thanks! I thought I was alone. Everytime I bump into that it makes me doubt if there's people who actually leave 20%-30% tips regularly.
Also, it’s not like demand for retail businesses has declined. Businesses near where people live are booming.
This is perfect. Then I can try to organize an union while doing none of my regular job. Guaranteed job security!
I apologize if what I shared sounded like a "scare quote". I was just responding to the question about whether this will be an available diagnosable drug anytime soon. It is really unlikely and there are some basic intuitive reasons why without going deep into any research.

Also, I didn't say I was unaware of anything in this field recently. I was replying to the specific individuals' research I mentioned earlier. I've seen plenty meta analyses and case studies but you need way more for this to be a viable medical prescription.

Finally, none of what I said is a statement on my opinion about whether this should be adopted or pursued more aggressively in medicine. You'd have a hard time finding anyone that wouldn't agree that prevention would be cheaper in the long run but that's not what you need to prove to a hospital system and the FDA. You need to have multiple phases of clinical trials and then convince a medical system that addition dedicated clinics are worth setting up for this.
Just annecdata: I used to go into the city core every day, now I stay at home most days.

While the city core is certainly less busy (and many of my favorite restaurants have closed there), my home neighborhood (a streetcar suburb) is being revitalized. There are at least 5 new bars/coffee/food places that have opened up within walking distance and they seem to be doing healthy business.

You are not the entire market, clearly.

The relevant question is what market sentiment is on the IPO valuation, and how much that's shifted over the past month.

History shows that financial bubbles can and do occur. The market is not inherently rational. Who puts what value on the issue and why is a question that's hard to answer. History has also shown that those assisting in IPOs (e.g., investment banks) may commit to making purchases at specific price points in an attempt to bid up prices. Which is to say that the market is neither transparent nor entirely free or fair.

Again: the broader point is that VC manage a portfolio of investments, Reddit is one asset in that portfolio, and that calculus may well consider a 2x return as little different from a 1x or even a loss, relative to the possibility of a 10x+ exit.

Or to use the sportsball metaphor: this appears to be a Hail Mary pass.

And quarterback is about to get sacked.
Like with most performance questions, it depends.

I see someone else said that it scaled well for sqlite. For postgres, it very much depends. Building a json object is much, much slower than selecting a row. Updating JSON objects involves building a new one, since you need to replace the entire object, so avoid building your schema in a way that requires updating JSON objects.

(Experience is with postgres 14. To be fair, performance was generally fine up until the 100s of millions of rows)

JSON query performance in postgres though is generally quite good. If you have static data, throwing it into a JSONB column with a jsonb_path_ops GIN index (or the default if you need the extra query flexibility) scales well up to billions of rows.
To pick one, how does GDPR conflict with this battery regulation?
My self-checkout operator is pretty slow and doesn’t pack my bags very well so I never tip him. Maybe he’ll learn one day.
Absolutely. So in the previous version you could spin up multiple agents - that each ran a prompt. So for example, you could have an agent named Mark that ran a prompt which had context for your codebase, whereas you could have another agent Amy that had, say, a prompt that would help Amy give you writing feedback.

When you logged into the app then, you'd have to choose the agent to chat with - in the same way you'd choose a teammate to chat with in Slack - based on their area of expertise.

This system works well if you only have a few agents, but once you reach a certain number, it becomes a hassle to determine who to chat with.

Ideally, the user shouldn't care about which agent would response / which prompt is applied, they should just care about what they want, and the system should be smart enough to apply the right context / instructions accordingly.

And this realization led to the redesign.

The article claims fixed point arithmetic is the “correct” way to do arithmetic in databases. In the general case? No I’m totally unconvinced.

The reality is that any system for storing real numbers in the computer will be lossy. It’s up to the system designer to decide how much precision to store and where the loss happens. Fixed point numbers are still lossy - they just lose detail in very small numbers and they take arbitrarily more memory to store very large numbers. This makes sense for finance, but in a lot of scientific computing tasks or for 3D modelling the way floating point numbers work is great. There’s no right answer here across all tasks. Databases, like programming languages, should let you pick what sort of numbers you want.

With integers / rational numbers you can have arbitrary precision (eg Haskell’s Integer type is an arbitrary precision integer). But it’s a trade off. Arbitrary precision integers are slow and big. Almost all of the numbers that matter are within an i64. I think it’s a fine default for most data. I do like the idea of choosing what happens when integers overflow though. Wrap-around is a spicy choice. Outputting an error on overflow might be a better default.
These are problems that all small nonprofits face. I would love to pay people, but even having a commercial model doesn’t mean you escape questions about funding and staffing.
This isn’t correct. The author calls bullshit jobs anything in the service sector.

The book takes the approach of “these people say their job is bullshit” to be tactful, as dunking on people is seen as a generally bad thing to do.
If you read the article, you'd see the end part where they mention that the new design is 4nm thick, making it effectively '2d', versus an existing 100+ micron solar cell.
I found the OsmAnd+ user experience quite irritating, and OpenStreetMap is just a fancy database and not a competing product to Google Maps for the user who wants live directions/navigation.

That said, for mobile use Organic Maps is pretty good: https://organicmaps.app/

If I was able to use open book for every exam and had the whole thing digitized in advance with billions of notes and evaluations of the texts the questions were based on I'd probably ace it to.
Thanks, I'd missed that one.

Technically my submission was a dupe, though there still seems to have been substantive discussion.
Engineers know engineers. Engineers are often working in more than one app at a time (probably at least an IDE and some terminals). They get really anal about how their screens are set up for efficiency.

All my friends with non-tech jobs all seem to use just one app at the time and use macos fullscreen apps and switch between using the four finger sideways swipe.
Again: I don't think this is a mainstream Catholic church thing. You'll see downthread people besides myself relating stories of priests consecrating Triscuits or wine parishioners brought back from trips. Eastern-Rite Catholics all use leavened bread, apparently.

Traditionalist Catholicism (tradcath-ism) is not the same religion as Roman Catholicism. It's a weird splinter thing.
The article doesn’t mention it, but in the video it’s basically reporting in, the Mac Studio had coil whine
This is amazing.

Definitively blows away Steve’s bullshit that the majority of users want a return to normal and that it’s just a few moderators behaving like “landed gentry” (Which is pretty rich coming from him).

> The results were conclusive:

> r/pics: return to normal, -2,329 votes; “only allow images of John Oliver looking sexy,” 37,331 votes.

> r/gifs: return to normal, -1,851 votes; only feature GIFs of John Oliver, 13,696 votes.
Nbody looked about the same, zig had really long lines for stuff that rustfmt split. But that aside, I agree the zif metaprogramming really shome here.
Why didn’t you ask the authors for the actual sample dataset? Wouldn’t the commit to delete these files indicate that they were not the ones used in the study?
Author still runs Linux on their servers.
So is rust. But I assume these benchmark results all come from llvm.
But likely because of a post-processing step that scans for copyrighted text…
> companies seem to ignore they are asking all their workers to unnecessarily spend an hour or more a day driving

Um - not all. A number of people use public transportation. Some walk to the office. I chose a home location close to a subway station that gets me downtown with a 25-minute commute if necessary - not that I have needed it since I do work from home :)
It’s a good theory, but shouldn’t it show up regularly in electrical schematics then? It doesn’t sound like anyone in any particular fields (other than possibly German mathematics or Dutch economics) has been able to point to historical common usage.
Plenty of amazing ground systems aren't flown because they can't be tested. Solar panel tests are usually done with a careful support system that takes the load from gravity and allows the panel to be unfolded in an approximately equivalent environment to microgravity.
> r/pics voted to continue with the strike by only allowing posts of pictures of John Oliver. I can see other subs starting such things as well and even if you change out the mods you will have your hands full of people making protest posts.

Several other subs are also doing similar things.

• r/art is running a John Oliver poll.

• r/evilbuildings is running a John Oliver poll.

• r/gifs passed a similar rule.

• r/iPhone is voting on a similar rule for Tim Cook.

Regardless of who the patron is, that's still a patronage operation, rather than a freestanding commercial enterprise.

(I'm not defending market-based approaches, nor do I think they're well-suited to all domains, and most especially not information services. But I am pointing out the relationship of Mozilla to its Daddy Moneybags. I sincerely hope better alternatives will be found.)
> The group says the province of Ontario as a whole witnessed 27,495 vehicle thefts in 2021. However, on five people were charged with the offense of altering, removing, or destroying a vehicle identification number.

That's insane. Why isnt every policeman involved being fired? How could they possibly be doing their jobs this badly?
I’d not be surprised if most profits end up going to captured rents. Always raise rents until just about when Starbucks would leave.
OK. I'll bite. So what did the Cambridge rowing club need specific fonts for?
Looks really nice! Is there a way to use it without using NodeJS, C++, C#, Go, Java, PHP, Python, or Ruby? What if I am using a less common language for building apps, like PowerShell for example?
It's a strange time in life where centralization is not the most beneficial mechanism anymore. Internet influenced things down to the real world.
Similar to this is there any example of someone building an entirely "new game" by changing the front-end client and assets so heavily that it literally becomes a different story/world/lure/characters? Essentially a total facade reskin?
This also excellently paves the way to encourage and support John Oliver to cover the saga and bring it from its current large but niche audience into wider society.

Unless folks follow tech or reddit I’ve found that most people around me are not across the saga.
I'll take "Dangers of Vertical Integration" for $2,000, Alex.
We have more horizontal than vertical space, try to utilize that without stacking search results next to each other?
I disagree (with your advice, not your experience). I'm a total amateur and use Git for versioning prose. It is the only SCM that I can easily use across multiple devices and platforms. I don't use it for complex operations, mostly clone, commit, pull, push, branch now and then. I taught myself to use it from the command line. I guess being curious and persistent helped me get to whatever minimal level of utility I have with it.
Tangent: Question 42 seems bad to me. It asks to analyze the behavior of two processes concurrently calling a method on the same typescript class instance.

Either in the browser or in node JavaScript does not have processes operating on shared memory. While I get what they're trying to say I think it's counterproductive to learning to call a task on the JavaScript event loop a process. Answering the question requires knowing that the runtime will only preempt at await statements, and calling it a process confuses that.
its only a weird take because the scientists who "do actually know how it works", are lopping this in as a software product. And the softwe=are engineers are still thinking they will be able to take credit for it. (wont be able to fix it)

Applied math and software have nothing to do with each other. Any more than applied chemistry (reduced to math) written in a Visual Basic Excel macro is software.

It aint computer science just because you typed it in.
This would be great for all kinds of solar-electric tech where panels can be built into car roofs, buildings, boats, and other stuff! Hopefully we can crank out this, or a derived technology on a mass scale. That would result in a lot less bulk material usage compared to current systems with big aluminum frames and lots of plastic.
If it goes to rent, it's not profit by definition. That's just a cost, same as any other. Starbucks made 32B in 2022 with a profit of almost 22B.
In some sense, so is Rust -- there's work on a cranelift backend, as well as gccrust.
Except those that are drawn with a fine camelhair brush.
That's what separates you from GPT: it's willing to put in the work.
People keep being surprised that bounds-checking doesn’t really seem to incur that much cost but frankly it seems pretty straightforward to me.

In the years of Rust code I’ve written, I don’t think I’ve ever actually indexed into an array manually. If I have it’s been an incredibly small number of cases. I’m almost always iterating, which makes bounds checks essentially unnecessary.
I don't think so, not at launch, but maybe down the road.

This product is inherently experimental. They are not going to be operating at the type of scale they do when it comes to iphones, macbooks, ipads, etc ...

So I do imagine that if this thing takes off and they can start putting out hundreds of thousands or millions of units they will gain more savings through scale.

I'd love to know what their initial order for launch is. It will be interesting to see how far the preorder precedes delivery as well.
The bad idea hurt the credibility of the campaign the most.
I am looking for a book and resource for (advanced) data science. I understand there are numerous ML books and articles discussing algorithms at all levels; there are also numerous introductory books on data science, e.g. how to call functions in sklearn. What I am looking for is a book on data exploration, data modeling, and prediction error analysis; with some level of rigor in both theory and implementation.

Any recommendation for such a book or resource?

DatabookV2 discussed here looks great for natural science + ML. It reminds me of this widely-cited paper

Reddit isn't a tech company. They sold themselves to Conde Nast back in 2006, which is a news company. Would you call NYTimes a tech company? News people hate tech. They don't want to be part of the tech culture that seeded Reddit's community. Their primary interest is to extract rent and manipulate public opinion. So don't tell me that's tech.

I'm mostly familiar with North Afrika, but I can tell you this: at that time in places like Egypt or Morocco you couldn't access government services from your Nokia, it wasn't a thing. 2FA was unheard of. Contactless payment is still a novelty, but definitely didn't exist at the time prior to smartphones. There weren't banking apps.

Best you could do on your phone is to play snake or send an email.

And if we are talking about places like Zimbabwe... there might have been like a hundred cell-phones in the entire country.

As for Asian countries? -- well, places like Japan or Hong Kong weren't much different from Europe. Places like India or China, by and large, didn't have coverage. Even relatively well-off Russia only had cell towers in and around big cities. In Russia at that time there were very few people able to afford a high-end Nokia phone, but even if they had one, those wouldn't be the people who needed a replacement for a PC, nor would they ever use their phone in such capacity. Due to poor economical situation all electronics were seen as a way to prevent wealth from depreciating. Few people who did buy expensive cell phones had no interest in using their advanced abilities, nor was there anything to use such a phone for.
In my area several Starbucks started unionizing. Starbucks responded, among many other ways, by removing all the employee cushioned floor mats (for reducing fatigue being on your feet all shift) as a "safety hazard", but were called out when it was pointed out that all the non-unionizing stores in the area had not.
I think a more interesting comparison is Zig vs Nim. Where Nim beats or at the very least matches performance against Zig in multiple tests, while having an infinitely nicer, friendlier syntax.

https://programming-language-benchmarks.vercel.app/zig-vs-ni...

I love Nim so much, I wish it became more popular somehow. Unfortunately it has stagnated in popularity.
I would say both? It's gritty by Pokémon standards (it's no Pokémon Reborn, which blows canon Pokémon out of the water). But gameplay-wise:

- Doubles-only

- No capturing wild pokémon. You steal shadow pokémon and heal them.

- I found it generally more difficult than normal pokémon games.

I'm sure GP has more to say :)
You can noalias in C as well, but it is used so infrequently in production C code that llvm didn’t even compile it correctly until a couple years ago. Figuring out when parameters in a C program can safely be declared noalias is very tricky, and I’ve almost never seen anyone bother with it. I assume the same is true in zig.
I wouldn't blame the companies anymore than I would blame "work culture"

I would even blame cities before companies, but these feels like blaming both all companies and none of them. the cities fault would be horrible traffic and delays moving from home to work, cause by all the companies having similar working hours
Very good youtube channel, if anyone is wondering
Without even specifying the length of time to measure what happens or the nature of job in question?

Bad news: you have been rejected from consideration for any work related to realtime/life critical systems.

Good news: you may have a future in politics, at least in the county I live in.
One of the first things he does in the book is define the term "bullshit jobs", and refine that definition to specifically include that the workers feel it is bullshit. I think it's fair to make a larger statement of social phenomenon using that definition, the same way many people can make statements of depression or poor mental health without everyone expressing those feelings being clinically diagnosed.
In my state if you sign a buyer agency agreement, describe the property you are looking for and it is dated. You are obligated to pay in most situations. If you can prove abandonment you can likely get off the hook. Every state has their own laws and rules so be certain know what those laws and rules are. Also read the contract carefully. In my state there is a clause that if the listing broker doesn't pay the buyer agent, or doesn't pay enough to satisfy your fee, you are obligated to pay. I never liked that sentence. Thanks for your questions
> Germany just spent 100bil on just one order of F-35s, that are being discussed here.

Wasn't it $10b, not $100b? Also that cost is not consistent - it'll be spread out over many years, it's likely they won't even get ten planes delivered in the next four years.
I don't like their infinite scrolling instead of normal pagination.
The dotnet ecosystem is incredibly mature. Its as old as java in most tooling cases, IDE, Language, Build System etc. The runtime is the newish part.
This is a claim by an organization on ownership of a phrase used by humans in common speech. That doesn’t mean it’s what people mean when they say it.

For some reason I find this mildly amusing. In the sense of the personification of the working machine.
