So long as the station wagon or other non-van vehicle is used for occasional on-the-road camping ...

... it's quite possible to carry bathing (not necessarily shower), cooking, and at least modest toilet facilities (a bottle and/or bucket in a pinch). In many places these aren't entirely necessary. Even many van-lifers forego full facilities as these impinge highly on available space, weight budgets, and flexibility.

The designs that seem most appropriate to me tend to make flexible use of space. E.g., a countertop which may conceal a composting or cassette toilet, which itself can be pulled out and a curtain up to provide a shower or sponge-bathing space.

Similarly, cooktops which can be used either inside or outside the vehicle. I can only imaging that cooking smells, grease, and the like can easily permeate everything if used extensively. In most cases ventilation requirements would mean that you'd want to have doors / windows open anyway, and an outside kitchen gives far more working and maneuvering space.
I'm a jazz guitarist who has developed the very bad habit of singing what I play while I improvise. Working hard to break it. But what I sing, and what I play is the same.

Being able to "think it, play it" is absolutely central to what I do when I improvise.
Yup, it's absolutely horrible to use as a developer.

If I follow correctly, it seems they removed the $99 developer registration fee? Smart move, to maximize the number of app ideas generated for the launch.
I can explain why. I migrated from KeePass to 1Password.

The short version of the story is that I used a mess of tooling to get a KeePass-based workflow going, and it resulted in data loss that I had to recover.

I stored my database on a cloud storage provider, and then I would read that database with various clients on my various platforms. At that time, just about none of the (good) clients were cross-platform (KeePassXC that you brought up has no mobile apps).

At that time, an open-source Mac client had a bug that caused some extra fields to be cleared/not saved. I put some important information in those notes and they were lost due to this one client being buggy. Luckily, my cloud provider kept a backup of previous database files.

That's when I realized that having someone else manage all this was way better than saving a few bucks.

I've used 1Password through a lot of new version changes and complete rewrites and I can't recommend it enough. It integrates deeply with all my devices, supports the latest developer frameworks on those devices (e.g., delivering a Safari for iOS extension as soon as extensions were added to iOS), and it's packed full of features that I never dreamed of having with KeePass.

This optional opt-in telemetry seems way more reasonable and respectful than comparable SaaS services and commercial applications, but, alas, "telemetry" is a boogie-man word. Maybe that KeePass app that dropped my data could have used some telemetry to spot that error a bit faster.
I’ve never seen an AR/VR usecase that interested me, but if this thing turns out to be a decent replacement for external monitors I’d probably buy one. I travel a lot for work and the laptop on the shitty hotel desk setup is a major drag.
We’ve tried every thermometer under the sun, and all but the probe models start out inaccurate or quickly crap out. Infrared, temporal probe, etc. One of my biggest parenting pet peeves. We now only do the under-the-tongue method, and only if the good ol’ palm-to-the-forehead thermometer says that something is off. I read a study somewhere that indicated that parents are actually pretty accurate when using that method, so I’m sticking with it, replicable or not.
I believe you.

I would hazard a guess that the people on your former team at Prime were "managed out" after strongly opposing the dark patterns that product teams and execs demanded they implement. Would be cool to hear from others with actual knowledge of the situation on the specifics of how this state of affairs came to be.

An aside:

I am strongly considering canceling my Prime membership. I don't need 2 day delivery on anything that I order from them. In addition, Prime memberships have increased in price, and I don't use any of the other benefits that Prime offers. Throw in the fact that 1) prices for everything have increased to the point where it's often easier and cheaper for me to go to my local big box store that starts with W or C, and buy the same thing and get it same-day, and 2) there are so many knockoff and bogus sellers on Amazon now, and Amazon does not do a great job at enforcing their policies and removing them.

> I'm curious how frequently the model actually uses this backspace token in practice

For it to use the backspace, wouldn't it have to predict the wrong token with greater confidence than the corrected token? I would think this would require more examples of a wrong token + correction than the correct token, which seems a bit odd.

I wonder if this could be have value for when a forward and reverse word predictors collide/fight. I naively assume reverse word predictor models will have the ability to work towards goals, by working from the "solution" back, with the forward word predictor acting as some sort of "causal resolution".

Lonk to source?
For me.. at least... hard to imagine writing code under that particular influence. Not exactly a bringer of good concentration and mental clarity.

I've known people who could do it, but nobody I know personally who is a really good developer is doing this? Esp during work hours? Seems counterproductive.
they’ve removed that for a while if you just want to develop locally, and are OK with apps expiring every 7 days unless you republish with an online check in.

You still need to pay for more advanced features, and to publish your app.

Yes but not for the wearer to take measurements of their body temperature for example to see if they might have a fever. It only takes readings at night while the wearer is asleep, and only provides data in the form of trends against your individual baseline.

So it can be useful to see if you were generally hotter last night than normal, which could be useful when sick, but you can't open a thermometer app and check your actual temperature which would have more utility.
I can whole heartedly agree I bought a tub of Naked Mass Pea based protein/weight gainer to compete with my whey based Mass Gainer Tub.

The one benefit of pea protein is that it doesn't foam up like whey based alternatives in a blender and upsets my stomach less than the whey.

Pea protein is chalky/gritty as hell though, even after extensive blending and ingredient mixing. 3/5 stars.

The reason is implicit makes really easy to miss things and the majority of software devs have very poor understanding of coupling. Consequence is if inheritance is a thing, you'll see monsters in the code.

If inheritance is not available, the problem doesn't exist.

I'm working on some bare metal ARM32 firmware, and I can't find a language that comes close to C. I can get it to generate pretty much any assembly I can think of. Other languages make it a pain to write memory unsafe code.

Sure but the database they used probably had seventy-four nines of uptime and used atomic clocks to support nearly simultaneous changes to a single record at a rate of a hundred and six thousand hertz, and that thing was crazy expensive. Unfortunately that database was built on Awesome Google Internal Technology 884611, which has been deprecated, and the replacement system doesn't work yet. The team that built Domains ended up owning Awesome Google Internal Technology 884611 because they were supposedly the only team left still using it, but then they discovered that Google Search also relies on it through a Stubby that no one noticed. So then the Domains oncalls were getting swamped with bug reports from Google Search every time someone used Google Image Search in Italy, for some reason... The Domains SWEs and SREs put up a heroic effort to keep Search (and Domains) running, but it was noted that implementing something like Domains would neither be Difficult or Impactful, so they all got Needs Improvement and resigned to go work on something more rewarding like High Frequency Trading of Kale Futures or driving a Lyft. Google Image Search in Italy has been flaky ever since.

> What the moderators see is already after the core platform has removed the most obvious offenders.

This might be true.

> Most of what the volunteer moderators do is remove content that they feel is not in line with their community.

This is certainly not true for my sub. There's a lot of obvious spam that has to be manually removed. For example, if Reddit enforced the selfpromotion ratio rule programmatically, there'd be an order of magnitude less spam to deal with.

Unless Reddit cranks up the removal rate, moderators are still necessary or the /new feed will drown in spam. If /new drowns in spam, what reaches the top will become a lot more chaotic.
Except caffeine. And maybe some taurine/nicotine.
Like what I described, start with the utter simplest/easiest code for you the developer, and only optimise it/make it more complicated, later if it's benchmarked and not up to a standard you are aiming for (of feature quality or performance or whatever). There was a bit about it in that book "Masters of DOOM"
I also personally equate simplest/easiest code for you with most maintainable code also.

I read this whole book maybe 15 years ago. I don’t remember much detail at this point and the project I was working on at the time has been retired. Still, I have fond memories of the learning process. Manually building up single inheritance OOP with structs and vtables using C is very educational.

This would still have tactile feedback because you would still be playing a piano. Imagine things like scales being overlaid in a different color where your fingers are supposed to go. Maybe if you hit the wrong key it would flash red. There's all kinds of things you could do.
I’ve only really ever otherwise used Lastpass (not of my own volition) and Keepass. Lastpass is its own dumpster fire and KeePass is sort of like “why do you need Dropbox when you can achieve what it does with rsync”. At least 1Password has decent (not great) UX. Are there other, better solutions out there?

One particular rant of mine for 1Password is that its iOS app seemingly doesn’t remember any context whatsoever. It doesn’t matter how recently you entered your password, it will prompt you for it again if the auto paste went wrong or some other trivial thing caused the entry of credentials to not go correctly.
This one is really hard tbh. I don't think I could name one. There was a period where I worked in a warehouse and listened to audio books and college lectures and all those together allowed me to make connections I don't think I would have made otherwise.

A very meaningful book I read was "A Short History of Nearly Everything" just because it showed me how much to the world there was to discover. It made me very optimistic.

I haven't finished "The Brothers Karamazov" and I don't think I would call it a "meaningful contribution" to my life _but_ I do think so far it is one of the only books that has made me say "wow." Every sentence seems to be crafted to perfection and connect with you on a deeper level. I can't personally relate to it too well but I would say everyone should get to experience a bit of it.

Besides those, I read a few auto/biographies which where interesting, I could relate to and gave me motivation and discipline.
Idk it works for me. Cant really explain it. I get more excited sometimes, in the zone, makes the tedious parts bearable,think about solutions differently.

I don't do it often though. It's never like, I need to get high to code. Its usually like, I'm high and some interesting coding thing comes up.

Yeah. I’ve done some handy waves experiments for science (generally don’t like THC as a drug).

Watch a super intellectual YouTube video that’s at the bounds of my understanding (e.g. Leonard Susskind’s Stanford lectures on quantum physics).

While watching sober it’s intellectually stimulating and I really enjoy it.

While on THC I can’t grasp what he’s talking about and I attribute him to be just spouting bullshit that’s made up.

That convinced me that THC has a negative hit to cognitive function.

However it makes other things feel more awesome and “in flow”: food, music, bedroom activities.
I suppose the irony is in the fact that it evidently didn't pay off because I can't imagine that one book was worth ruining her career.

I think the general thesis is questionable, for work especially, because in business contrary to the stereotype being honest and following the rules does pay off in the long run.
Yep. Its actually one of the only serious bugs I've had with JetBrains but it was so frustrating. Crazy because even the "backups" feature or whatever just implied there was never anything there.

> I've known since I was a young child that teachers didn't get paid much

They don't? The government publishes the names of all government workers with incomes >$100,000. All of the teachers I personally know are found on it, and they aren't special outliers. The same teachers also collectively own one of the world's largest hedge funds.

For perspective, median employment income is $38,000. $100,000 puts one in the top 9%. Is this some kind of twist on the no true Scotsman, where no matter how much a teacher is paid it isn't enough?
> I guarantee you most people in your industry are on it all the time.

I guarantee you that they aren't. This is the standard occupational bias of someone who interacts with a highly specific subset of the population all day, and then generalizes from that experience. Same as cops who see violent criminals everywhere, even though in reality they make up a tiny fraction of people overall.

All the 'Environments' You Can Experience in VisionOS
It’s been a while since I’ve done server push in production… Back in the day, you couldn’t count on the browser or the ISP supporting real WebSockets correctly, and I expect this is still the case some percentage of the time. WebSockets were best seen as one possible transport, and if they were detected to be not functioning, the client library responsible for the “socket” would fall back to long-polling. Or, the client library would start out with something simple and known to work and “upgrade” the connection if possible.

WebSockets also don’t ensure messages are delivered (once) across network hiccups. And browsers have different limits on how many there can be open at once across tabs for a domain (IIRC). In the end, I think it makes sense for them to be the main transport for a real-time app, but they are just one part of creating a conceptually simple model for real-time communication between client and server.

Does Jamsocket have or use a client socket library?
No one claimed people do this. You have created a straw man-ception. Our awareness of the world is informed by distorted maps, even if it only impacts us subconsciously.
