Most RVs are absolute trash for quality

There, edited it for you for accuracy. :-) Seriously, our Thor retailed for $100K in 2018, and I've been through that entire vehicle while installing solar/inverter/battery. As I've told my spouse, "there isn't a straight screw in that whole interior". I've probably pulled a bathroom garbage container worth of crap out of the walls (leftover trimmings and the like). Yeah, didn't think anyone would look in there, eh? :-)
We had a couple of these when I was a young child. I wish I still had them... they were awesome.
Why innovate when you can regulate?
There's also koding.com, which has been around for a while. I tried the service quite a long time ago because I used to find the "cloud coding" concept enticing, though it was definitely not as baked (probably due to Monaco not existing at the time, and likewise, browsers not being as good.) Nowadays I still feel like the user experience problems, limitations, and cost (when not subsidized) with coding this way largely make it a niche for people who have unusual needs. Especially because, there are tons of local options for reproducible dev environments, and they can continue to work without a network connection or on unreliable connections, something that is unimpressive even in the best conditions I've seen so far.

If you happen to have the exact set of needs that one of these products solve, then it can probably work fairly well. But, even when working on "web" stuff, I always find myself feeling like they're just never quite as good as just doing things locally. I feel like devcontainers and cloud coding in general are more impressive to those who haven't managed to tame their own dev environments and are seeing a solution to this for the first time.

It's also clearly useful for people on iPads and other devices that are either too low end to run/compile your code or arbitrarily limited to prevent it. However, with how powerful iPads are nowadays, it feels like if Apple ever allowed apps to use virtualization extensions, it would probably be a better solution for a lot of people who do not need a huge cloud workstation with a lot of RAM. I imagine your average Rails app or Go backend would just have no problem running directly on an iPad.
Wikipedia:

> Tankie is a pejorative label for communists, particularly Stalinists, who support the authoritarian tendencies of Marxism–Leninism or, more generally, authoritarian states associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. [...]

> The term "tankie" was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions
Demo is interesting, although it nearly always implies limited functionality and/or limited timeframe you can use the software, which may be misleading for some free tiers.

Freeware could be a good term, but wouldn't it still have the same nothing-is-free issue that GP brought up calling it "false and deceptive advertising"? The term certainly doesn't connote the "why" behind the offering
Originally, a marxist-leninist leaning person who supported the USSR's rolling tanks into Eastern Block countries for things like the Prague Spring. More commonly these days, people who 'stan' for countries like China and Russia largely out of anti-westernism.

it seems most instances hit scaling limits at 1k-30k signups per instance. 1k is more like consumer hardware, a consumer CPU and 32GB of memory type stuff, while using epyc and 128GB or 256GB of memory with enterprise SSDs behind it gets you to 30k.

Federation actually makes this worse because right now there is an all-to-all broadcast model. There is no concept of a "relay" node that is allowed to carry your posts to another, even if you are in an all-connected clique of N nodes you need to connect to N-1 nodes to exchange data, which means load increases with federation.

Obviously there are several pretty clear optimizations that shake out of just my description here, and I assume many smart people are working on it.

On the other hand... this is also where you bump into "everybody kinda wants different things". Do you want other pods to be able to "forge" messages from you? Do you want to sign every message you post (or have your pod sign it for you) to prevent forgery? Do you want to have any ability to ever yank a post back out of the void, or are you comfortable with the "once it's out there, it's out there"?

A lot of people have tacitly different answers to these questions and have never really had to think about it because Reddit provided a one-size-fits-all answer for them, just like the problem of moderation between federated pods. Like, what if you have a great contributor on your pod but he's completely a shithead on politics on some other pod, and people start looking to defederate your pod unless you take care of them? Reddit simply solved this by establishing some global baselines and if you don't like it tough, don't post on reddit.
And if you turn around, left and right change places... woah.

Snide comment aside, it's obviously in reference to standard map orientation. Maps had to be oriented somehow, unless you're advocating for the chaos of arbitrary individual map orientations.
"We need agriculture, yes, but we don't need it to be in the places that it is in at the moment."

Have you moved to these locations and grown lettuce? Are you speaking from experience? If not, I can assure you the climate is significantly different East of the Mississippi than it is in Yuma. Because of this the growing methods and associated costs dramatically change the profit margins, which are already very slim. i.e. it becomes unprofitable very quickly because "green" energy has increased overall energy costs.
The same SEC that reviewed Coinbase's prospectus and business model and decided that they could become a legal publicly traded company in the US?
Digg isn't really "still alive". That's like saying Michael Jordan is still alive because there's a guy named Michael Jordan. The current iteration of Digg (which is great, btw) has nothing in common with the original other than the domain name.
The fact that Pompey and Cicero were patricians is irrelevant. None of them really had the interest of the masses at heart. Increasing the grain allotment made Caesar no more a man of the people than becoming a tribune had. Augustus did much more in that regard (he personally paid off the public debt!) and he was no man of the people either.

I live in London and think it’s a fairly correct statement. The conservative government basically imploded as a result of Brexit. We’ve had 4 PMs in the space of a few years, each more degenerate than the last. Covid further enabled cronyism and corruption. Honestly it feels like an Eastern European country with the way the government has gone.

I’m still optimistic that things will improve after the tories lose their grip in the next election.

We did the RV thing for about 4 years and it was fun. Then covid hit and it got so popular that everything was crowded and it wasn't fun anymore.

Mostly agree with this list though:

1. Size: 35ft should be your absolute limit. There are a lot of reasons for this that you'll discover as you get into it.

2. Hard mounted satellite: This was my favorite feature, but we got a dish that would keep the signal when you were driving. I took a trip from Florida to South Carolina on a Saturday in the fall. We had College Gameday on when we left and didn't miss a beat for most of the day. For me, this makes the drive a lot more enjoyable. Nothing better than getting up to make a sandwich while the game is on while stuck in a traffic jam.

3. Never tried the camping clubs, but they didn't seem worth it.

4. This makes sense, but wasn't anything we ever had an issue with.

5. Completely agree.

6. Also true. We used Dish Network on a month-to-month

7. Taking your time is pretty much the point. Enjoy the drive. Stop and see interesting things. We started actively looking for random billboard activities to chase down. Visited the Luray Caverns, Hershey Park and almost chased down the bigfoot museum but it was a little too far off the route.

8. Totally correct. You don't need a lot, but it will still feel good to be prepared. Like anything, it's a learning experience.

9. I can see this, but YMMV.

10. Costs are certainly interesting. We had 2 different RVs over 4 years. We started out with a 20 year old rig that we got cheaper than a used car and fixed it up. It wasn't perfect but we loved it. Didn't have much fancy stuff on it.

Then we upgraded to something that was about 7 years old with a lot more bells, whistles and computers. It was much nicer but was in the shop constantly because something was always broken. In retrospect, you don't need half the fancy systems on these things. Push button shades, automatic leveling systems (it's not that hard to level).

Demand went up so much that we sold both for more than we paid for them initially, except for our maintenance costs. The biggest thing is winterizing. If a sudden cold snap happens before you've winterized, you're going to be in for some bills.

We still miss the RV life, but half the fun for us we just deciding at the last minute that we'd go somewhere that weekend. As it got more popular, all of the places we'd try to go were booked up 6 months in advance. We had some great family vacations and it was a lot of fun for sporting events. Clemson never lost a game that we came to in the RV (including the 2016 championship), so I like to think we were good luck. Disney's Fort Wilderness is by far the best RV stop that we found on the east coast.
The one thing I miss from when I was a smoker was the easy, no-expectation, daily excuse to hang out with other dudes at the office. I quit smoking 10 years ago but I still have strong relationships with some of my smoking coworkers from back then, but I haven't developed any work friends at all since then. I find that the main component in building relationships is just how much relaxed time you spend together.
Boy I’d like to adopt this style of all my writings :)
At first glance one might suspect that South's disinclination to arm black soldiers would harm their ability to field a large proportion of their population, but that wasn't the case. The ready availability of slave labor enabled free men, who would have otherwise been required at home to work the fields or bring in the crops, to go off and fight instead. IIRC, around 80% of able-bodied free men in the South fought in the war.

Why downgrading the pricing when Github have a much better pricing and just rollout some crazy new GPT-powered features?

We had in our backlog to explore a PoC to try out Github, since the announcement of Copilot X.

Now, with this pricing announcement, this PoC will be transformed into a full migration from Gitlab to Github.
Indeed, our new cooktop in “power boost” mode boils water ridiculously fast. Our kettle is embarrassed.
Posting because I'm a bit disgusted with American culture right now. AA should either voluntarily offer up at least $250k to her estate to help with grievances. Or, if I were the CEO, I'd offer to 10-1 match donations to her GoFundMe[1] up to $1M (which would be hit as of now)

[1]: This appears to be the go fund me, but I'm also increasingly wary of these kinds of pages after hearing that post disaster fraud is a form of crime that is commonplace nowadays -- https://www.gofundme.com/f/courtney-edwards
Likewise. Camping used to be spontaneous up until Covid. We might book a popular site a few weeks in advance but only for popular ones on holiday weekends.

Now they can be booked months in advance when you've no sense of how available you'll be or what the weather will be like.

For Michigan's booking system, people also game it by booking long stays that finish on the dates want (thus getting around the "within 6 months" booking window) and then cancelling down to the dates they want for a paltry cancellation fee, given how in demand they are.
Only if they are right, if they are wrong we are subjecting people to what is essentially psychological torture. This many mentally ill people walking around probably causes a lot of negative knock on effects. The "We are all gonna die" view isn't a scientific one, at least not one that survives any rigorous peer review.
Just build it in a way you can swap a new one in without interrupting business and always have at least a couple alternatives live. They will 100% screw you at some point so that has to be planned for and designed into the system as well as the cost of maintaining multiple providers.
I'm wondering if the port forwarding was the reason so many of Mullvad's IPs were frequently blocked or had "bad reputations" ?

"Trillionths of a second: Photon pairs compress an electron beam into short pulses" (2023-06-19) https://phys.org/news/2023-06-trillionths-photon-pairs-compr...

> What is also remarkable: Plane electromagnetic waves like a light beam normally cannot cause permanent velocity changes of electrons in vacuum, because the total energy and the total momentum of the massive electron and a zero rest mass light particle (photon) cannot be conserved. However, having two photons simultaneously in a wave traveling slower than the speed of light solves this problem (Kapitza-Dirac effect).

> For Peter Baum, physics professor and head of the Light and Matter Group at the University of Konstanz, these results are still clearly basic research, but he emphasizes the great potential for future research: "If a material is hit by two of our short pulses at a variable time interval, the first pulse can trigger a change and the second pulse can be used for observation—similar to the flash of a camera."

Chirped Pulse Amplification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirped_pulse_amplification

What Hz rate is necessary to do CPA Chirped Pulse Amplification with laser, or with a [blue] LED? FWIU lasers have a repetition rate between 0.1Hz and 1Mhz, and a pulse width between 1 picosecond and 1 millisecond?

Looks like there are already commercial LED CPA systems.

Aren't there also weird signal effects with e.g. PWM and a blue led connected to a Pi with a sufficient clock rate? What are the maximum binary data transmission distances for [blue] LEDs?

How to fade an LED in and out when you can only vary 5volts on and off? PWM: Pulse Width Modulation; you vary the duty cycle:

No, I'm not arguing against eating until satiety. That's fine. I'm specifically arguing against feeling "somewhat hungry all the time". That sounds bad and definitely not what I feel as a thin person and not an expectation I would have of fat people. I wouldn't even describe my satiety as feeling a little hungry. I just feel not-hungry, not-full, and I've been thin all my life so I think I understand what it's like to be thin and eat as a thin person.
Kids may love Fortnite. Their parents love it less when Epic steals hundreds of millions of dollars from them [1]

Players tend to focus their complaints on Epic's "customer service", and use of exclusive titles in their store, with somewhat less attention going to the invasive DRM/spyware aspects of EGS, EOS, and EAC [2]

It's not two-sided! That's just not what "gatekeeping" is! You're talking about like ten other things, none of which are gatekeeping.
See, we went with the class A specifically because we didn't want to pull a car and Uber made it so easy to get a ride.
The thing that has worked for me is going the trailer route with my lightning. You can get 60-70% charge overnight (since I power the trailer with the lightning) with one of the KOA RV outlets included with the camping spot price. KOAs are a bit pricier than a mom and pop but totally worth it for the extra $7-10 you might pay per night because they’re cleaner, have great restroom facilities and I can drive a whole day on the charge.
Yeah those people. The extreme left wing counterpart to the authoritarian right. Stereotypically college-educated and chronically unemployed/underemployed, with seething resentment towards the cultural trend “just get your degree and it’ll all work out.” Also tend to be highly resentful/dismissive towards blue collar workers, which I think shows that their position is based on resentment, not principle.
> Is the brand name of being effectively the gas station of EVs worth it to them?

Yes, because it's becoming more and more clear that Tesla's future potential is way more in their role as an energy company than as a carmaker.

- Global charging network for cars + trucks => Tesla as an energy distributor
- Residential + utility scale solar + utility scale battery storage => Tesla as a maker of energy production infrastructure
- Tesla smart grid software => Tesla as a global electric utility

In other words, they're working towards becoming the clean energy combination of ExxonMobil + General Electric + Your local power company.

The cars are an important business that happen to also incubate and drive forward all the other technologies I mentioned.
I've deleted facebook/snapchat for 5+ years now, and objectively feel happier. Although some of that FOMO is still there not being there with family.

Hybrids are great.

There are downsides: extra weight of a gas engine, more mechanical complexity, and weird maintenance, especially if its an gas engine your not using very often. The person I know who has one went a couple months without using much gas. Does gas go bad?
Make a README.md which clearly states this at the top, and a CONTRIBUTING.md. After that, it's just not your problem if someone opens a PR.
Thank you. I agree that ask was a bit much for a lot of candidates; we updated our engineering interviews to be shorter and more manageable a few months ago.
Again. I DON'T want to run a script in a container on github's infrastructure.
One thing I wish the original article would explain is the use case of buckets. I'm sort of imagining weird use cases where the buckets represent different servers or storage systems for the purpose of spreading out data efficiently...but I'm totally guessing here. Because I would assume a proper load balancer would be based on the dynamics of real-time server performance, not because of some simple hash function. What are common hash to bucket use cases?
And after I did some much-needed suspension upgrades, the thing drives like a car., or am I not understanding your point?
I like Uncle Bob’s explanation:

Lower Haight is a lot nicer than it used to be. I don't see any of the things you're describing except for two:

1. shoplifting at that Safeway you mentioned.

2. There are still occasional grab & runs (ie. of laptops from cafes), this is one block from me and they pull a gun in a crowded cafe [0]

Obviously more still needs to be done but I don't find this impacts my day to day that much.

But all of those places have a lot of bums accosting people and shouting, tents right along main walkways, poop in the streets, etc.
What isn't there yet about the design? It seems like a standard flat modern tool to me from the screenshots in their docs.
Right, and Tesla is speedy to fix broken ones usually. And an occasional bad charger isn’t a huge deal (I talked to an electrician who was servicing one of them). Gas stations regularly have non-working pumps, and I suspect those are more expensive to fix.

The Tesla approach is really another level for charging compared to everyone else. And even the mobile chargers & Level 2 destination chargers are better.
I occasionally camp with van people and they make it look so stressful. I can't imagine having a whole RV worth of things to worry about.

I'm glad people are happy with 'em, but the more I learn about that lifestyle the more I love my small pickup truck and hammock.
Glare from windows or reflected from light walls/furniture can easily exceed that, so any dark scenes (or dark editor theme) are entirely illegible. No amount of screen brightness can make blacks darker under glare, which will show up as the brightest white the screen can produce.

Darkening the environment is the only option for displaying any dark colours and it happens to make high screen brightness unnecessary.

Agreed. And they should be marketed as 'temporary free', 'limited free' not as 'free'.
Funny :) but no.

"Good feelings" as in I feel supremely content and I love my friends and they love me.

Im seeing a lot of startups using this word, why?? It sounds silly, like you're selling me a childrens toy? You're not delightful, its not a 50's musical number.

I joined the reserves at 17 in 1994, and did ql 2/3 (Canadian basic) between my grade 11 and 12 year. They woke us up on the first morning, gave us 15 minutes to shit, shower and shave, but I had never shaved before. It was just wisps of peachfuzz on my face, and my hurried, improvised hack shaving job had the sergeants shaking their heads.
What makes the experience of "kids these days" usign Reddit/Discord so different than...

"kids those days" using MySpace/FB/Instagram 10-15 years ago?

or "kids those days" using AOL 25-30 years ago?

After maybe a brief window from approx 1999-2004 of migrating from AOL's walled garden to disparate forums and such (at massively smaller scale), it's been moving from one walled garden to another for basically 20 years now.

Anyone who wants to change that would be really well served to think about why that has been vs just tossing around stuff like "stockholm syndrome" and "nobody taught them." I don't think "the kids" are nearly as blindly trusting in things like the TikTok algorithm as you think, I think the choices are much more complex than just "if only someone would tell them the flaws they'd all move."
Can you elaborate? I'm not familiar with their politics but this seems interesting.

I still only meet people in person and do pretty well - there is a big backlash against apps now - although I will admit that it has become the standard. But people are definitely tired of them.
