Taxes have to be increased slowly or people complain. So instead of increasing Federal taxes we increase the gas tax so you see it in the cost of your food.

It's not so easy just to raise taxes. Raising salaries doesn't increase output, only gdp.

Taxation was tongue in cheek, but moreso our strategy is tax the blood out of immigrants to keep the country going, as really when you first come here, you don't earn much.

I remember that. I wonder why it didn't take off ...

I wasn't intending to make an economically successful chat application. I just want something to point at whenever someone goes "Of course it has to be electron-like; how else are you going to make it cross-platform?"

I want to demonstrate that, yes, you can have fast cross-platform applications without much more effort than going with electron-type designs.

I want to show the source code for it, I want to have a reasonably easy to follow explanation of that source code, and I want it to be reasonably low-effort.

Handle errors as soon as you can is my stance. If a low-level function raises, but its immediate caller knows how to handle that specific exception, handle it (for example, turn a zero division error into None, if it makes sense for the domain).

Only bubble up if your handling consists of reraising anyway and no business logic can be applied (which might be the majority of cases).
If someone could elucidate on what these phrases signify, I'd be very grateful:

Glad to see x64 improvements. That's really needed to keep up with newer Windows programs.
As someone who’s been in a similar situation, I want to give you some hope.

A lot of healing can happen within a couple of years. But you need to start now. If medical tourism is an option, there are plenty of countries that will treat you for cheap.

And if you are self driven, meticulous in your research, and are sensitive/aware about your body and consciousness, look into r/nootropics. You will find many people who were let down by the medical system who have recovered from TBI. But you need to be VERY careful.

Btw: what are the painkillers/medication you’re taking? In what dosages?

How soon were you treated immediately following the injury? What was done? Any diagnostic/tests/reports?

So the user doesn't interact with k8s at all (eg via kustonize, helm?) Or do you help them navigate breaking k8s version changes that affect their yaml?
Yeah that comments is bullshit. It’s very easy to establish a business in Canada. The bureaucracy is efficient by comparison to most developed countries including the US. The tax authority is not scary like the IRS and the rules are reasonable and easier to understand. The provinces have considerable control over economic policies and taxation, generating competition between regions.

I’ve run tech companies in Canada for over 20 years. It’s a perfectly fine place to do business.

Personally I've found that announcing things ahead of availability hurts the impact, because the real announcement is old news and doesn't get seen and the pre-announcement loses people because there is nothing to do with it.
Not even just minor companies. I have an old Garmin bluetooth GPS receiver that uses a Nokia battery.
Good article! I always notice this same effect when I visit my parents in Argentina or I'm in Europe.

> Using a global CDN can help get your assets to your users quicker, and most companies by this point are using something like Cloudflare or Vercel, but many still only serve static or cached content this way. Very frequently the origin server will still be a centralized monolith deployed in only one location, or there will only be a single database cluster.

Notably: even if the source of truth is single-region, there's a lot that can be done to improve the experience by flushing parts of the page at the edge.

Check out https://how-is-this-not-illegal.vercel.app/ where the layout.tsx[1] file is edge-rendered right away with placeholders, and then the edge renderer streams the content when the single-region database responds.

Furthermore, consider that parts of the page (like the CMS content) can also be cached and pushed to the edge more easily than, say, a shipping estimate or personalized product recommendations, so you can have content as part of that initial placeholder flush. We have an e-commerce example that shows this[2].

But where will these new people stay? There is not enough housing being built for people, you are going to see people come here only to leave when they realize that they can't afford the housing for their families there.

Net migration is probably pretty high in Canada right now and will increase once people figure out that there is not enough density or proper housing for them.

I am waiting to see what the cabinet shuffle looks like, but we are probably going to run some billboard campaigns or do some fundraising soon to address the housing crisis if the government is not tackling this properly. If you are Canadian or have interest in this space on addressing these social issues, hit me up.

If you are in a TN-1 visa, I strongly recommend doing the math to see if you want to spend a significant amount of your income on rent, definitely do your research.

You likely invested time into preparing for the interview. It’s natural to feel kind bummed if you didn’t get an offer. Just shake it off and try to move on to the next one. I was on the verge of an anxiety attack during one of my more recent interviews. I actually ended it early because I couldn’t find my bearings. It was extremely embarrassing and it took time to get over. I found a good gig soon after though. Good luck to you!
Billboards have run before (“Can’t afford a home? Have you tried having rich parents?”, etc). A protest was organized but very few showed up. None of this work when the ruling class is benefiting from the lack of housing.

You need something more attention grabbing. Something Titan-like that the media will run with for days. Something like what started the Arab spring or similar movements. Not advocating for self-immolation, but it has to be dramatic enough to wake people up.

There are too many incumbents benefiting from the status quo that it’ll take a monumental effort to turn things around.

If the bootloader, all of the services, the kernel, the window manager, etc were open source, but edge was closed source and bundled in a separate version of Windows then yes I would consider Windows an open source operating system.

It is why PH is F, for instance.
The dynamic type checking analogy of house building is eyeballing support dimensions and then rebuilding walls when they fall down. Fine for a shed, but if it's a building I'm living in I would like a structural engineer to do some calculations to check it's ok before I use it.

Maybe that's the difference between programming and software engineering! Engineers care if their stuff breaks.
Pinephone has multiple compatible os-s, while most android phones don't have alternatives and become unusable if android drops support for them. Also, Google and the big OEM-s have the incentive to break compatibility to provide you with the newest gadget, which is not true for the pines. yet.

I did exactly that for a recent paper [1].

1. 9 Jupyter Notebooks attached (with HTML converts to the journal), all figures and statistics generated in notebooks, all commits of the entire 5 year research process versioned in a Gitlab repo, using Jupytext for clarity
2. All base data shared, using HyperLogLog to reduce privacy conflicts
3. Versioned docker image added to our registry, which includes Jupyter and the analysis environment used for the study (Carto-Lab Docker Version 0.9.0 [2])
4. Post acceptance, I published another notebook how other users can load and work with the shared data, including making (limited) additional inference [3]
5. For the peer review process, I added all (redacted) notebook HTML files to a Github repo [4]

It was a fun experiment where I tried a maximum of transparency in research. This maybe added 1 full year of additional work, but I still don't regret it. Given the quite specific audience for this paper, I doubt that anyone has ever tried to open the Jupyter Notebooks - I even doubt that reviewers had a look at them, at least by judging from the comments during peer review.

People will always be willing to suffer (maybe even enough to skirt paternalistic regulations that were enacted to protect them) when there is such an imbalance of supply vs demand. “Everybody” wants to be a movie director or actor or make AAA games but few such positions are available. It’s not a delusion if it’s a known gamble. I admire them for it, tbh.

When I open AirBnB with a clean browser cache, it takes several seconds until I see something useful. Those 104ms of latency don't make a dent.

Reddit takes over 5 seconds until the cookie banner is ready for me to click it away.

Twitter takes 6 seconds to load the homepage and display the single tweet which fits on it.

Preview images of what? Images usually should be routed through a CDN which caches them directly in the user's country. It's extremely cheap and easy to set up. Nothing compared to running an application in multiple datacenters.
You have misunderstood my point. I have not said anything about polynomials.

I have said that the so called "natural" exponential, normally written as e^x or exp(x) of either real or complex argument and its inverse, the hyperbolic a.k.a. natural logarithm, and any other functions derived from it are neither needed nor useful when computations are done by computers, as opposed to computations done with pen and paper.

In all traditional formulae where the "natural" exponential function or functions derived from it occur, all occurrences can be replaced using a pair of functions of real argument, the function 2^x with real value and the function 1^x with complex value, either directly or with functions derived from this pair, e.g. the binary logarithm.

In computer programs this substitution results in both higher accuracy and higher speed and it has as a side effect that the units radian and neper are never needed.

It should be noted that even in the 19th century, when the "natural" exponential and logarithm and the trigonometric functions with argument in radians were useful for symbolic computations done by hand, they were never used for practical numeric computations.

All practical numeric computations were done using the function 10^x and the trigonometric functions with argument in degrees and their inverses, by using mathematical tables where the values of these functions were tabulated (or equivalently, by using slide rules).

The use of the "natural" exponential and logarithm and of the trigonometric functions with argument in radians for practical computations has become widespread only after the development of the electronic computers, after programming languages like Fortran have included them as standard functions.

I consider that this has been a mistake, similar to the use of decimal numbers in some computers. Both the use of decimal numbers and the use of the "natural" exponential and logarithm and of the trigonometric functions with argument in radians are sub-optimal in all their possible applications.
Yeah it's fir, I'm next door to you in southern Alberta. You'll find it in older houses, I keep it whenever I come across it.
I don’t think the new way to write None is an improvement in this case. I use the pipe as a replacement for Union (of which Optional is a special case, but oddly, there is prefer to use Optional; it reads nicely).
Billboards are your plan? 70% of Canadians are happy with the situation. Even more of those who actually vote.

If this was actually a problem then it would have been solved. It's not that hard to build houses.

Personally I'd like to buy a house and convert it to an unreasonable number of apartments with a common kitchen. If you happen to hookup a kitchen in your apartment how would I know?
I don't think wrapping my entire shell session in a moderately complex third party tool (that maybe just uses pbcopy under the hood[1]) counts as "simply" when compared to my existing solution which just pipes over ssh and a couple bash scripts.

Well, while it lasts, for $60 I can chat with a doctor in another province using Maple within the next five minutes…
Was talking to an older lady the other day.

Very non-tech. Only uses an iPhone and an Apple watch. No laptop or tablet/iPad.

Gets a surprisingly large quantity of things done via her phone.

My phone is an Android. She shared 2 things her iPhone can do that I don't think my phone (OnePlus 7 pro) and watch (Amazfit T-Rex 2) combination can do:

- she can always find out where she parked her car

- her watch buzzes to warn her if she leaves her keys or phone behind in her car. I think she has some airtag type of thing in her keyring.

Surprised that Android phone + watch combination doesn't already natively offer these features (with easy discoverability).

Addon was acquired by Avast, another data harvesting company.
It didn't really start that way! (=

For me, it didn't feel polished until few patches in... Necromancers, and Challenge Rifts, and Seasonal Content were what made Diablo 3 for me.

At launch, D3 was pretty dull. We ran through it, and were bored a day later. All it really had was Adventure Mode, and most of the sets were relatively weak.

Farming was just slow and tedious. Never felt rewarding to run around a low-density world map... the abilities and speed tuning was just off. To be honest, it was pretty boring.

A lot of people quit after getting to max level. Diablo was always a "dungeon grinder" but the grind just wasn't enjoyable. Like at all. At launch the grind just sucked.

There was this quirky little auction house, but it felt like a bolt-on after thought. I don't think anyone really used it.

Over time they really sped up the game play considerably with high-density Rift maps. All the set synergy, and class combo synergy, started to kick in. Adding The Cube, and The Vault, and a bunch of fun little things that sped up the game.

Arguably, inventory management didn't get "slightly less crappy" until fairly recently -- maybe a year ago? I forget when they added Search.

So yeah, like now it's polished. But 11 years ago at launch it certainly had some rough spots!
Right, that's the point exactly. The company was clearly playing it fast and loose and not interested in understanding how their design behaved or how the material degraded.
For the large majority of Canadian residents there is nothing technically stopping them from traveling to the US for healthcare, paid out of pocket. Some people do that, in some situations, particularly for those who live just north of the border, but it's uncommon. Some reasons:

- From the experience of people I know who have needed urgent care (heart attack, cancer, anorexia, broken bones, etc), my Ontario provincial health system works pretty well, and was often excellent. The people I know received timely, high quality treatment (despite all the bad press in the news these days), at zero out of pocket cost.

- The areas that Canadian healthcare is most falling behind on are (a) access to primary care, and (b) treatment of serious things that probably won't kill you (e.g. joint replacements, cataract surgery). For (a) few people are going to travel to the US to see a family doctor. For (b) this is mostly seniors, who usually decide to grind through another 6 months on the hip replacement wait list rather than pay US$50k today.

- US healthcare is very expensive if you're paying list price. Waiting longer and getting free care in Canada often looks pretty good by comparison. Any reimbursement from your provincial health insurance will be a small fraction of the total US bill. Maybe you could save a month on getting treatment for your cancer or whatever, but is that month worth US$100k or whatever out of your family's life savings? Most people decide "no".

- Where will you live in the US while receiving treatment (e.g. for cancer)? Will your job allow you to be away? The cost of travel and lodgings adds to the cost of the already expensive healthcare. And if you feel crummy (e.g. because you have cancer and you're on chemo) you don't want to have to go through airports and live in hotel rooms, you want to be in your home.

- If despite all the above you decide to be a medical tourist, why would you choose the US? Once you're hopping on a plane and paying cash, there are often better countries in the world. I have heard of people going to Mexico, Lebanon, and India for treatment, and much lower cost than the US, while still getting high levels of care.
I think the only way to be confident in your future is always making sure you’ve got enough skills to find another job. So if you still have it, but not sure if you would be able to find a new one, spend some time prepping and go for a few interviews. As a result, you either understand which skills you’d better improve, or see that you are perfectly safe if the interviews are successful.
And it’s also possible that you get new nice job offer, and might change the job:)
Exceptions are goto in disguise to some extent, as it’s forward-jumping only. An important limitation to retain structured programming in this case.
It's zoning which forbids the construction of any denser forms of housing than single-family detached houses in the vast majority (like, ~90%) of the land in most Canadian cities. And more broadly an insane amount of bureaucracy and friction that developers have to go through in order to get a building approved. In Vancouver, they are literally tearing down apartment buildings and replacing them with multi-million dollar mansions, within walking distance to downtown, because it's no longer permitted to build apartments in the neighbourhood and the buildings are end-of-life. Check this map here, all the yellow areas are zoned for houses (luxury mansions in this market) only https://maps.vancouver.ca/zoning/.

This (https://www.google.com/maps/@49.2632824,-123.0709435,3a,82.3...) is across the street from Commercial-Broadway station, the busiest skytrain station in Metro Vancouver at the intersection of the two major lines. The lines were constructed in 1986 and 2002 so they've had a good 37 years to densify the area. It's the same story in every city outside of Montreal and Quebec City.

Then there's the many ways that Canadian homeowners benefit at the expense of everyone else from subsidies. Unlike in the US, capital gains on primary residences in Canada are completely tax free with no limit. That incentivizes people to invest as much as possible into buying as much home as they can. Then, in some jurisdictions like Ontario and BC, owner-occupied homes are actually charged less property taxes. In other words, renters are subsidizing homeowners. Then, in some provinces like in BC, you can actually apply to defer paying property taxes entirely until you're dead at which point the estate pays the balance. Further, homeowners with a home worth less than about 2.125 million, and you are 65 or older, you are eligible for a grant of $1045 per month discount on your property taxes simply for being a poor downtrodden homeowner. Being a homeowner also gives you the right to vote in every municipality that you own property in. So we have a municipal politics in which property owners are given more of a voice than residents themselves. Absolutely fucking disgusting
I’ve though I’ve seen all of the xkcd comics and from time to time stumble again at something like this and marvel at how prophetic his work is.

Totally off topic, but I just think that the producers of shows like black mirror should just hire the guy and he’ll come up with plots for really disturbing things not the mellow obvious crap they try to push now…

Games are much more popular but they are still a young medium. We don't know who or what will be the supposed Quinin Tarentino or James Cameron of games 50 years from now. because millenials are just starting to give that prestige to games.

I'm not sure I really buy this angle. Sure, Blizzard can bomb on a game, but if we suppose it's the product of some trust fund son of a CEO; they definitely had a LOT more chances and resources to work with than some indie dev in a basement.
I believe, Triple-I was initially founded as an AI firm, powered by Ed Fredkin's own PDP-1. (I guess, since the first commercial CAD system by Itek and Adams Associates was also on a PDP-1, the transition happened quite naturally. Ben Gurley, the PDP-1's designer, who tragically happened to be shot at the family dinner table in 1963, was also at Tripple-I at the time. Ed Fredkin was quite fanatic about the PDP-1 and probably its best ambassador. He also chaired the PDP-1 restoration project at the CHM.)
