well what matters is, what it means to you.

if a person makes you uncomfortable then it's probably better to stay away from them. only if you can't do that, then it may be worth it to reevaluate why it is they make you uncomfortable and see if you can change that.
Tesla fans before 2023: The Supercharger network is just supplemental! Most charging is done at home, range anxiety is BS!

Tesla fans after 2023: The Supercharger is our most important competitive advantage! Any automaker not adapting our standard will die!
It's easy to understand; just not easy to agree with. The law's job is to enforce penalties and rights equally, blindly even, and not to scale everything according to someone's individual circumstance.
You'd bet wrong.

It's not normalized at all. Everyone who does it hates it. It's decried everywhere it's practiced, and there have been protests against it. It's also illegal under the Chinese constitution (but the government turns a blind eye to it due to the workaround that it's not officially "required" -- merely "encouraged" by companies).

Asians don't have a super power of working harder/longer than other races.

Plot twist: or, perhaps, even after that!
They could move to places where property is cheaper, at least the functional ones could (non functional would still be homeless), but it wouldn’t help much given the lack of economic opportunities and social help.
Loneliness has nothing to do with alone-ness. Most of us are perfectly happy alone, being left alone, and may even prefer it.

Similarly, depression has nothing to do with alone-ness. It's being perfectly sad. Depression is the only cause of perfect sadness, and sadness is never the cause of depression. Healing depression cannot be done by healing sadness. Your triggers and the cause of your condition could be many things, but until you figure those things out, nothing will undo your depression or sadness.
Good for young people graduating college or with 1yr of work under their belt. Quit your job, buy gear, disappear.

Go ultra light. Essentially become homeless. Own at most two pairs of clothing. Don’t worry about showering daily (or weekly), but keep your face clean and your teeth brushed. Don’t let the gear&food on your back exceed 35lbs (15kg). Sleep under the stars when it isn’t raining.

How I felt during: pretty rad. there’s this surreal thing that happens when you spend all day in direct contact with the sun and the moon. You feel physically connected to the solar system. You sense the Sun behind the earth at night. You get a real emotional connection with the environment and that has made climate change a bit more personal for me. In general, I’d never felt as much joy as I felt then. There’s this other surreal thing that happens. If you quit your job to go hike, you start seeing the weeks in front of you as bare and free, and the present becomes one long continuous moment.

I also spent a lot of my spare time reading old classical Greek and American philosophy. Seneca, Plato, Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Ayn Rand, Thoreau, Emerson. It plugged me into the “meta-game” aspect of life, of course we’re all living but how could we live.

Takeaways: society is full of strings, things you don’t actually need to survive. time is better spent learning or exploring. it’s okay to abandon people that you feel you’ve outgrown. People my age (mid 30s) talk about how stressed they are and I can honestly say my attitude was permanently changed by that trip. I suppose Im a happy nihilist. Nothing matters, but that’s not a bad thing. I’m not hitting all of my goals, but my understanding of what reality is has been fundamentally altered where I know it’s not all about me, so losing is actually not a problem. It’s a lesson for me in the present, and my loss might become somebody else’s gain.
I'm a little confused by fast charging standards, to be honest.

1MW is 20x the maximum draw of a standard house, and 800x the average draw of a US house. The hydro plant down the road generates 5MW.

It just sounds crazy to plan to pull that much power charging a car at a time.
Oh right, why did I say comma.
I think the way to make it profitable is to install PV canopies over the charging stations. Then at least during the day the electricity is free.

Of course capital cost is higher because you still need a fat feed from the grid and transformers and coolers, and maintenance might be more costly, but free electricity during the day when most people are driving would almost certainly pay that back quickly.
My children's elementary school has a nicely painted chair in the school yard, I think they call it Friends Chair or something. If a kid has no friends or no one to play with, they are supposed to go and sit on that chair and someone will come and play with them.
I don't think people who came up with this idea understood how it works.
To be fair, the music industry knows they couldn't beat Google in court on this.

The same can't be said for OP who probably doesn't have the time or money to fight it as evidenced by this post.
2.5$ a month for the average user of third party apps isn't really egregious. Especially since you can also use your own API key and have something close to 100rq/sec for free.
It actually worked for me a couple of times because it was someone I was attracted to!
I agree. Sometimes getting away from certain people can be beneficial. As William Gibson said "Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes." Then there's that other saying "Everywhere you go, there you are" which points to yourself as the problem.
Not only have politicians noticed this, but the conniving little jerks have already started framing the problem in a way that implies EVs should be paying far more than gas cars.

Many states are pushing for tag fees based upon the average revenue per gas/disel vehicle per year without regard to those vehicles MPG. Given that a lot of EVs are replacing high MPG vehicles, the formulations are incredibly unfair.

But they still have a few years before EV owners are a substantial constituency, so there's a chance to jam through unfair taxation (in the false name of fairness) before that happens.
It's just perception. People don't like drinking processed piss.
Because you'll still need to exchange it to real currency.
I think you’re underestimating how much work goes into hiring and producing something. Making it more self-service will go a long way toward making it more accessible to small creators. And my impression is that many books don’t sell 200 copies.
Perhaps you should have stood next to them shouting, "You are helpful!"
> “You can interrupt each other without being rude when you’re in person,” said Mr. Medina, whose company, Outreach, is now in the office on a hybrid basis. “In a Zoom conversation, you have to let somebody finish their thought.”

How is this not admitting that WFH is superior? If it puts a damper on people like this who feel it's their right to interrupt your thoughts, it's only a good thing. This article title may sound pro-WFH but it's basically pro-WFO and has no data other than CEO "feelings" to back it up. It also doesn't even mention all of the companies that started fully remote and will stay that way. Count me among those who would never WFO again, for any reason.
I think the other commenter is correct; you probably don’t have enough practice (which is fine).

I’ve been driving since I was 15 (almost 30) and have driven hundreds of thousands of miles at this point. I’ve also ridden motorcycles about 30k miles. Driving is what i do when i get upset or stressed and need to clear my head.

The worst part about it is the monetary cost. I moved to Europe and fuel is way more expensive here. I’m trying to get better at coping with long walks but sometimes i just need to drive!
The projects are all here and are open source, it's a competitive market, it's easy to make an announcement, it's harder to come up with the projects all in the open ;)

Yes. For example, I was a mod on a larger tech related subreddit (trying to keep it generic) that was a critical part of my tech stack and daily work at the time. The mods above me would regularly promote their POV on certain topics and do various things to demote/remove the things that they disagreed with. In this way, the community artificially seemed to be more in favor of particular directions on certain topics.

Did this have any material impact? I don't know. But its an example where a set of random people can at least try to leverage their position for more than just "some laughs". Its one example of what I mean about "influence peddling".
Those have an "in" keyword that makes it much more obvious what's going on. And none of them have the "count" variable that pops up in a loop but is somehow accessible outside it.
This. It's a simple calculation of risk vs profit. Payment gateways are happy to put up with more risk, and put more effort into de-risking you as a client, if they are getting lots of profits from you.

Whereas if you have a turnover of $10k/year, and they're earning only 0.5% of that in fees, then it isn't worth them taking much risk or putting much effort in to earn $50.

It would be nice if people like stripe were more upfront about this. They could easily say "We have determined that your business might be high risk for us. If you pay us $1000 (which will be credited towards transaction fees), then we will work with you to mitigate these risks".

It's pretty apparent you do not, in fact, understand, since nothing you have said resembles reality, but rather lazy strawmen.

It is almost universally understood that no business can operate at a loss, inducing by those who are moving away from Reddit. That you cannot understand this is the "presumption of idiocy" that was mentioned.

Well, assuming an hour traveling in and an hour out from the office, that’s another 8-hour day. So yeah, talking about a four-day work week is completely reasonable.
I just called Hulu support to test it out, and it took less than 3 minutes to talk to a person.
That's interesting. Now it works for me as well, they must have fixed something.
Great! Have a good day.
I was listening to The Big Picture podcast, of which the podcasters watch way more movies in the theatre than I ever could. They seem like raging extroverts, but I guess a lot of podcasters are. One of them poked fun at men watching a movie alone in the afternoon not being dating material. The host (mostly?) was joking as he was watching the latest Transformers movie alone. It’s not just feeling alone in a crowd in that situation—-people fear being judged as well, like being forever stamped with “not dating material” on your forehead regardless of it being true or not. It kind of bothered me that he focused on that as it just adds to the social stigma.
Soil is a great filter. There are some contaminants that will get through, but the downstream treatment systems can focus on those. Here is a recent paper showing that just letting runoff filter through a 45cm-thick "rain garden" reduces a certain toxic chemical (6PPD-Quinone) by 90%. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.estlett.3c00203
Hi, this is interesting, thanks for this :-)

I am interested in the future of computing too.

I especially enjoyed what you said about genetic programming for instruction sets.

I recently wrote a program that uses the A* graph search algorithm to generate assembly code. I call it program synthesis. In ChatGPT you can get ChatGPT to generate code, so this kind of already exists.

My program synthesis/codegeneration is for searching through state space of a program to allocate variables to values and arrange state for function calls. It is meant to automate the boring part of programming which is boilerplate and moving things into place. It learns the hidden states - the function calls to get the register and memory to be what they should be.

My program takes two states: a beginning state and and end state, including memory locations and infers the instructions used to reach the end state. Functional programmers love types, I use the idea of types but value tracing.

start_state = {
"memory": [0, 0, 0, 0],
"rax": 0,
"rbx": 1,
"rcx": 2,
"rdx": 3,
"rsp": -1,
"rdi": -1,
"rbp": -1
}

end_state = {
"memory": [3, 1, 2, -1],
"rax": 3,
"rbx": 2,
"rcx": 1,
"rdx": 0,
"rsp": 6,
"rdi": -1,
"rbp": -1
}
# These functions take in an argument of value type given by that number and return a value type given by the second paramter.
minus_1_to_four = Function("minus1", -1, 4)
four_to_five = Function("fourtofive", 4, 5)
five_to_six = Function("fivetosix", 5, 6)

This generates the following sequence of instructions.

[start, mov %rax, (%rdx), mov %rbx, (%rbx), mov %rcx, (%rcx), mov %rdx, (%rsp), mov %rax, %rsp, mov %rdx, %rax, mov %rsp, %rdx, mov %rcx, %rsp, mov %rbx, %rcx, mov %rsp, %rbx, call minus1(rdi=-1) -> rsp=4, call fourtofive(rsp=4) -> rsp=5, call fivetosix(rsp=5) -> rsp=6]

Please take this with love but I notice the theme of the Bible and God in this post, if you have not studied God, I recommend studying God it shall transform for your mind and you will no longer be conformed to the pattern of this world. I would stay away from the occult though (some of the text in the diagrams in your article resemble spirit texts)
Our first look at the Fairphone 5
> Is that a British thing?

I have no idea. I've only ever worked in the US.
There's something super dystopian that we look at a cancer-causing, bone-marrow-killing chemical and go "look, we can use this for weight loss!". I get fatness is a plague or whatever but thin == healthy is totally broken if you're using poison to get thin.
I honestly don't think it's as big a problem as you would expect. Guys aren't quite so built to be huggy friendly and we tend to be more defined by real working relationships.

Or maybe it's just a me thing.

Like, at work for me I would be most rewarded by other people who are engaged in that common work cause and interact within that context. Not with stories about family life or opening up about whatever.

Hanging out with friends is kind of pointless without a common cause. To do play some game or sport or actually do something that's worth doing and is fairly collaborative.

To me a friend is like "hey I'm building a fence, wanna help?". And the ability to be building a fence yourself and asking the same. Or whatever project you can imagine.

The "you good" shit is mostly a consequence of lacking that sort of common cause, at least in my experience.

Or just watching other people do stuff is good too. "Hold my beer" silly stuff that you can watch and joke and one up each other about.

But if someone started that family huggy stuff (barring needing help or talking about their problems) I'd be distancing myself from that hard. In my experience those people are out to get you, smile on a snake.
Can you elaborate on what it means to use PostgreSQL enums "on your code API"?

> It's such an outrageously naive idea that I'm sure most people here were attracted to the title thinking it's about algebraic types or some other similar misunderstanding.

Just to share how we at Close got into this discussion (which I personally don't find as "outrageous" as you), SQLAlchemy – which we use in our Python code – uses `native_enum=True` as the default value for its `Enum` type [0], which then translates to using types in PostgreSQL:

> native_enum – Use the database’s native ENUM type when available. Defaults to True. When False, uses VARCHAR + check constraint for all backends.

Sure, the title is clickbait. But the message seemed useful: if your test rigidly requires every call be made in exactly the way it is made now, then your test will be brittle. For a less brittle test, re-implement the functionality in a simpler form.

What this article did not do was to describe the trade-off: what you give up by creating a more complicated "fake" (to use the author's term).

I'm sure they think they're being progressive. I was banned from /r/publicfreakout for mentioning racial inequality issues in the US in a video that starred a person of color. What's funny is that my comment was meant to spur progressive communication about the struggle for people of color. My comment on the video was highly upvoted and generated a ton of level-headed discussion about racial inequality. The mods, however, cited racism and banned me. I'm sure pretending like the issues don't exist is extremely productive for change.
Honestly, performance isn’t all that bad for me. Not much worse than Reddit anyways.

Football Software for Negotiations
Hello folks,

I run a small team that makes a software for football negotiations. We're having a trouble figuring out how all the pieces of the industry fit together and would appreciate any feedback.

Do you know some/Or you are football club representative or a football agent who has a time to spare a bit in the next week(s) for a informal call (max 6min I promise ) to help point us in the right direction and give us feedback? Or you would prefer written questions?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Regards
Miloš
Because you are forced to. That's the only reason.

Otherwise please use something modern and sane like Deno, Python, Go or even Rust.

TCL has many large flaws that those languages don't share:

* No static typing so trivial errors are not caught early and code is difficult to understand and navigate.

* Everything is a string (TCL people try to claim otherwise but semantically it really is true). This leads to typing mistakes too.

* Quoting is a mess. It's simple in that the implementation is simple, but languages shouldn't optimise for that alone. Actually getting quoting right in TCL is ... well it's not as bad as Bash or even YAML but it's still something you have to think about, which isn't true for any of the other languages I listed.

If you need a language to embed in your program then while I'm no Lua fan, it is at least significantly better than TCL.

Tin Foil hat time: some crypto natives have claimed the SEC is going after Coinbase etc specifically to "clear the way" for big entrants like this (or even NYSE etc).

Obviously there would be weird stuff around Jim Jones and hippy communes.

There are so many downsides to WFH, and even the upsides encourage the opposite behaviors you want in a team, so this is in no way surprising. The larger permanent WFH experiment failed.

That said, not every role, in every situation, needs in person interaction. It’s even reasonable to argue not every day needs in person interaction.
I had a laugh at "pro-rata," suddenly these greedy fuckers can pay enough attention to what is going on so they can grab the spare change before they go.

> Isn't the content of the letter still subject to debate?

Yes. I'm not a lawyer, (like at all :D) but I used to work admin for a lawyer's office during high school as a summer job. As a matter of procedure that office kept a hard copy of every outgoing certified letter and a continuously numbered ledger with metadata about the outgoing letters. Presumably in case of a dispute these would be used as evidence.

And yeah notary public is an other option. Obviously it is more expensive so only used when it is necessary. Lugging papers to the notary public and waiting for my turn, getting them processed and then carrying them back to the office was one of my tasks.

I'm sure spam bots and scammers aren't waiting on indexes to appear and do their own, so providing an index can't make them more problematic they already are.

Wow this is really cool, I'll check this out! Also, thank you for the feedback!
Some anti-EV states have realized this and have raised the registration cost on these cars substantially. This is less than the gas tax you would probably pay on normal commuting but I expect more states to follow this lead.
Laws should mandate the federal government operate an electronic money account and transfer capabilities to everyone at all times. Just like the federal government is tasked with issuing cash.

If there are illegal activities being done, then that is for the courts to decide (but they still do not get to take away the electronic money account and receiving/sending capability of anyone, just the money assuming conviction).
> Given that such a contract is extremely unusual

Everyone keeps saying this and it's blowing my mind a little. I've only ever worked in the US -- but the only times I've worked (over a 4 decade career) without an employment contract was when I was working "unskilled" jobs: fast food, janitor, etc.
