Can we start funding Archive.org to start scraping reddit like it did for 30% of Geocities or whatever because Reddit this kills the Reddit. Everything that matters is scattered to the winds already like when they killed Oink or The Silk Road or MySpace or AOL or whatever. Seriously though. Reddit is a trove. We should be making a directed effort to archive it as completely as we can. It is kind of their property. I guess. Just as much as the four sites left on the internet are largely populated with screen shots from the other sites... but yeah. I do not have the time to spearhead this, but I can set up a repo and push out an idea and I'd gladly dump some cash into Archive.org and I think a lot of other people would to.

Ah! No need to make any assumptions then.
*> Whether or not you're actively aware of "hey, I have inputs and outputs" doesn't really matter. It's just the process of it.

No, thats exactly wrong inverse-style.

Simply producing outputs from inputs is not consciousness. Being actively aware you exist is the whole and being of consciousness: Absence of inputs and outputs we can understand invites us to say "not conscious, no evidence of consciousness" but thats subject to validation.

I don't personally believe plants are conscious, but I'm open to somebody demonstrating a sense of awareness. It probably won't be a mirror-test.

There was another one of these posts floating around recently https://kobzol.github.io/rust/python/2023/05/20/writing-pyth...

My personal experience is that while this would be a really good way of getting people to write quality Python code, a lot of python users (data scientists) are not software engineers and don't have the discipline to do this without very strict PR reviews
It's literally the same problem. If the black box disappears (as black boxes tend to do) then the data is no longer accessible, discoverable, or useful.

How would you have done differently in the grid spec?

You don't have to use named grid areas if you don't like. But honestly, why wouldn't you. grid-template-areas makes working with grid a walk in the park imo.

Also very few of us web devs know all of CSS by heart. We use tools and reference manuals all the time as we are working. I suspect no python developer knows all of python either and are constantly looking at documentation or hints from their language server/IDE. The real skill is knowing where to look, not what to write.

Wasn’t there another study saying that attrition at places with mandatory work from home was higher than forecast, and hiring replacements for in-office is also much more difficult than these companies projected?

A self-imposed labor shortage (compounded by layoffs) could explain the current productivity boost.

After all, you can simultaneously lower production and worker count, but still increase their ratio.

There is some confusion about how accessing Plex outside your LAN works. There's direct server communication and then indirect through Plex's servers. You need to check your server configuration to determine which you're using, because a misconfiguration means you're accessing through one of Plex's relays which is going to be massively degraded performance. I still believe this to be a configuration issue, because things don't just magically get worse because you left your LAN. More information on that here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/200931138-troubleshooting-r...

Your ISP's allowed upload speed also becomes a factor once you leave your LAN, and in America, most people's upload speeds are much slower.

The hardware of your server, the hardware of your client, the supported codecs of your client, your WAN upload speed, your client's download speed all become factors here. And another thing YouTube does is re-encode videos that are uploaded to commonly supported types to allow for quick and direct playback on client devices. Most people just take whatever movie they downloaded from ThePirateBay and act shocked when they need to transcode the video.

I am sick and tired of group stereotyping. Not every worker is the same, not every job is the same. Employer should retain and reward individual employees based on their actual productivity, not micromanage their lives. If work from home is less productive but desirable for other reasons, save money by hiring remote workers for less. For decades companies have been outsourcing to India and claiming it doesn't matter. Surely US employees within a couple of hours time difference and able to travel for frequent in person events can do at least as well?
If you would like to contend that the people at Google couldn't pay their bills if they had kept search more effective, I would like to see some serious numbers there.

Similar to why I like unit-testing. Writing code in a testable way usually straightens out what would have been a thornier first-pass interface. Even if the test never fails, it made me be explicit about my assumptions.
I use to think the same, then I tried Elixir. It made me realize the language ecosystem can outweigh cons as big as not having types.

The Elixir ecosystem is top notch. Phoenix, Ecto, Livebook, Mix, Hex, Nx, Axon, Scholar, Explorer, Broadway, and Rustler are libraries and tools that make it hard to use anything else even when the language doesn't have types. I never enjoyed programming in a language more than Elixir.

Tho, they are currently are in the process of researching a type system for Elixir.

There is no indexing standard that is more fundamental than another. For example zero-indexing is particularly unnatural when working with mathematical series (https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1203057 ). It made a ton of sense for computing because every arbitrary sequence of bits represents a valid index, but it falls short in some other domains.

> Why rods?

Because mega-rod and giga-rod sound hilarious to me.

Also those units end up with a lot of pretty alien things as their bases, 10e-35 meters isn't super useful for human things. Whereas a rod maps pretty well to "down the hallway a bit", and a half a rod works pretty well for "the other side of the room". meter and foot work well for this as well, but they don't sound nearly as cool, though I would be willing to measure distances in "kilo-feet" just to screw with people. Alternatively a system of esoteric units starting with the meter would also work for what I'm thinking about (say, 12 meters to the dimber, with 60 dimbers to a schlimmel).

I feel like everyone either misunderstands your point or is deliberately misrepresenting it. It might very well be that composites turn out to be a viable material for deep submersibles. The fact that OceanGate managed multiple dives to the Titanic suggests that the idea is not completely far-fetched. Or it could be that it's a terrible idea. But it would require much more testing to properly understand how composites behave in these conditions.

It's a shame that it got tested out with deadly results by a company that was completely unserious about safety. Now the HN crowd has all watched the same bunch of Youtube videos over the last few days, so now everyone is a qualified submersible designer and has decided that composites are obviously a bad idea for a deep submersible.

Ah, sorry, I'd missed that you were discussing completely synthetic fuels. Yeah, those are a possibility, but a lot further out; those are not going to be showing up in production quantities in the next 5-10 years. And an ICE engine is already way less energy efficient than an electric motor, it's hard to imagine that the entire cycle of synthetic fuel production to useful energy at the vehicle could ever compete on efficiency with current green energy production and battery electric vehicles.

These kinds of solutions are useful to do research and development on for cases where we're not sure if battery electric vehicles will ever have a path to replace, like long haul aviation.

But for surface transport, it's really hard to see much being competitive with battery electric vehicles; they are already commercially viable, and can be powered with 100% green energy, and green energy prices are already lower than fossil fuel. My EV is charged with 100% carbon neutral power when I charge at home or work. Sure, the mix of sources varies across the grid, but given how cost effective renewable energy is, and incentives, the share of renewables is growing fast.

The infrastructure and production capacity are rapidly developing. And while energy density and specific energy of batteries are a bit limiting now, there are a lot of developments that are nearly ready for mass production that will get rid of many of the remaining limitations of battery electric vehicles for all but the most demanding of applications (like long haul air transport).

I think you might be surprised by how fast ICE vehicles become obsolete for all but niche use cases. As infrastructure develops, production ramps up, and battery technology improves, it won't be long before EVs start to outsell ICE vehicles. EVs already outsell ICE vehicles in Norway, in China they're at about 25% of new car sales, and worldwide they're at about 12% of new car sales; and these numbers are growing rapidly, they may already be out of date by now. Once they are outselling ICE vehicles, it will only be about a decade before EVs are the majority on the road.

I would find it hard to imagine a way in which synthetic fuel would ramp up to production readiness and be cost-effective in the same kind of time scale.

Can a temperature sensor have experiences? It's stateless. Maybe that's an element to it. To revise, inputs and outputs with some concept of statefulness.
I'm one of those people. :) Well, it's not so much that I prefer no explicit types, I just dislike how most languages require you to specify them, and to do so at the least opportune time, so I end up preferring languages that don't require them at all. (Ideally, the language would let you start with none and then layer them in as the design gels.)

FWIW, there are definitely ways to do it "right" in languages like Python, but it's a slightly different approach to dev than in other languages, so people create a mess if they don't shift, or if they are just untrained/sloppy/lazy/whatever. But when you have a team of people doing it right, it's really quite nice, even as the codebase grows large.

But if even just one person on the team can't be trusted to do it that way, you're probably better off in some other language.
> Can you clarify this? Do you mean the version of a specific schema/query?

I mean being able to version a system implemented in "advanced SQL" the same way I'd version one implemented in an applications language. Make some changes, keep them in VCS, at some point decide to do a release and deploy. A few days later, discover some issue with the changed logic, roll back to the previous release of my "code" (without affecting the data, so not just restoring a database backup).

> This is part of the purpose of transactions [0]

Right, but the actual workflow tooling around how to use them for this is missing, and for whatever reason the culture that would build and standardise it seems to be missing too. Like, in most ecosystems there's a standardised test-edit cycle that everyone understands; you make your changes and then you run npm test or cargo test or whatever, and you get some assurance that your changes were correct, and that same tooling is also in control of your release workflow and will prevent or at least warn you if you try to do a release where your tests are failing.

> Incorrect [1][2][3]

Postgresql functions with composite values (and more generally the fact that composite values exist at all) sound like exactly what I was looking for, so that would be a big improvement if I could use them (although for the record they're not a standard SQL feature; MySQL functions can only return a scala value, so there's a major missing middle between functions and views). But even then they have the same problem as temporary tables/views of existing "globally", in the place you'd expect data rather than code to be, and deployment/use tooling being inadequate to use them safely (or at least widely perceived as such). Like, everywhere I've worked has had a de facto rule of "no DDL on the production database except for deliberate long-term changes to the schema that have gone through a review process", and I don't think that's unreasonable (maybe you do?).

> Incorrect [4] [5]

Those functions exist, I'm talking about having tooling that can tell you where you need to use them. Even in something like Python you have linters that will catch basic mistakes, and they're integrated into the workflow tooling so that you won't accidentally release without running them.

> Incorrect [6]

A list of libraries != library/dependency management.

> Can you clarify? How is a transaction + CTE/subquery not sufficient?

If I want to pull out an expression that appears in two arbitrary points in my query, and use it as a CTE, that requires a lot more thought than it would in most languages, because it goes differently depending on whether it was in the SELECT or the WHERE or the GROUP BY or.... The grammar is just somehow less consistent than most programming languages, and the scoping is more confusing, I think because it's kind of lexically backwards (like, you have to declare things to be able to use them, but a lot of the time the declaration goes after the usage. But not always!).
