Apologies for assuming you were in the US.

The idea is basically: Move to the place which has the highest ratio of IT jobs to people. So, that might be your nation's capital city, or perhaps a different city with a history of technology or business innovation.

Or, if you're interested in a different field or occupation-- seek out the city in your region or nation which has a reputation for a competitive advantage in that field or occupation.

Silicon Valley is successful in IT, in part, because the semi-conductor industry began there. "In 1956, Shockley left Bell and founded his own company — Shockley Semiconductor Labs. It was the first company to make transistors out of silicon and not germanium. The company was founded in Mountain View, California"
The parent is obviously engaging in reductio ad absurdum, which is not a logical fallacy.

Where did you get the impression that they were creating a strawman, or engaging in whataboutism?
Why do you feel it is a bad habit? Is it because your editor persists recent unsaved changes itself?

I manually save almost anytime I do even a minor context change.
Cool. Then you will never do work that is important to you. Which is totally fine if that's what you want, but to me spending 40h/week on things I consider pointless sounds hard.

The brilliance of Hamming's question is that you, the person being asked, define "important". There is no judgement attached. It's purely a question of your personal fulfillment.
YES PLEASE. I'd really like to see us head towards 3 6 hours days.

The Case of Malcolm Gladwell vs. Jerry Sandusky
Since we are talking about something as fanciful as aliens, consider this perspective: There are no aliens because their existence runs counter to what the Bible says about God.

Assuming the only creation God engaged in was planet earth, how he is described (as never changing) means that his revelation of himself in Christ (who was both human and God, in order that his death would be like our deaths, ((wages of sin is death)), but whose divinity would allow him to rise from the dead ((thereby proving the penalty of sin - death - had been paid for _eternally_ {{being God}})) means that any other creation in the universe would need to be in a similar situation as humanity on earth...otherwise Christ as God/Human is totally senseless and useless on these other planets...which can not be since God does not change. Thus, no aliens, anywhere.

Now before ppl go off screeching about religion, this is in no way an attempt to convert. It is just a perspective made possible by someone who reads the Bible and likes to try to place any modern idea against it, and maybe the same might help someone else grapple with the immensity of It All. It also doesn't mean that there is no need for humanity to keep searching and exploring the stars.

Why do you see this as an anti trust issue?
Why would Roblox, fortnite, Twitter, Instagram, etc. be broken up due to anti trust?
I could see maybe forcing FB to drop Instagram, but Instagram would continue in the same way it currently exists. This is not an attack, perhaps I dont fully understand anti trust.
I think tkinter is included with Python, but other frameworks are more popular. I struggle to think of any others.

I agree generally, I've never really had a range anxiety problem on either of my Teslas. And 100% agree on the daily charging, too.

But I do think we're not to the point where we can just nonchalantly hit the road without really thinking about charging. It is part of the planning in more detail than I'd usually spend with a gas car. Totally manageable, but still.
You're right, that was uncalled for. I apologize for lowering the quality of site.
Not the parent, but I've used some app from F-Droid to fwd SMS to email. What I didn't thought about is what Samsung SW would aggressivly suffocate the app of any chance to wake up on the receive. Which led for it to be quite useless as a 2FA mule (delay is too long) and it requires a reboot every couple of months. It not that seriuous in ghis case, but if I would be in the need of replicating the setup I would do it with the Moto phone.

Regular Google itself tells you that. At least for me, when I tried this search right now, the first snippet says "These letters indicate the brand. LMR is a trademark of Times Microwave, whereas RFC is made by Shireen." It's the second snippet that says the last minute resistance thing, and it appears to be from someone's personal blog that blocks IPs from the United States, so without logging into a VPN, I can't open the site to figure out why it thinks this.

I would assume the best actual source is the USPTO trademark registration database, which has this entry: https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4805:pw...

It appears to indeed mean nothing, but of course, it took me a whole two minutes or so to find an actually authoritative source. Everyone knows no real user will ever do that and just wants a search engine or chatbot to dictate reality to them.
Aeron is another awesome project from Martin Thompson (Disruptor, Simple Binary Encoding, Mechanical Sympathy, etc.).

Definitely not. I don’t talk to computers and I don’t communicate with bots like they’re humans.

> Ergo, you have a bus that reaches both brakes and radio.

But do you? Why not have a plain old audio connection that goes to the audio system? It doesn't have to be on the CAN.
I personally do not want the companies to release training data (at least for a while) because then it gives people leverage to neuter it.

I don't want a sanitized LLM, and I don't have $60M lying around to train my own.

Copyrighted material, sexual content, political opinions, throw it all in and release it please!

Yes, reducing bias in the models is a noble goal, but introducing new bias and blindspots to do it is a no-no.

Maybe I just got added to a list somewhere for having this opinion.
I've worked with Ruby for over fifteen years off and on and the last seven exclusively -- in a large codebase with a fair amount of metaprogramming. We've onboarded engineers, junior and senior, who previously have never used Ruby and it's been interesting to see who does and doesn't have a hard time with it. It doesn't seem to match overall experience and skill level. It's more of a sense that people with patience and a kind of outcome oriented approach (over fixating on why something is done a certain way) will have an easier time unwinding the complexity.

One thing I've noticed, and this is something that seems to bother non-Ruby engineers, is the people that flourish in a complex Ruby application prefer to read code over documentation.
I was pretty confused here. The article should have explained the meaning of Turing patterns sooner. It's a much drier (heh) article than expected without the premise of unconscious biological systems performing computations in sand.
The chatbot as it's used in most cases is not a UI paradigm, it's the complete lack of a UI. Just a phone tree cobbled together by some basic heuristics. Even a FAQ is a better UI if done well.

Any particular platforms one can get started with?

>simplify as much as possible... but no more

Is an excellent lemma. Applying it, of course, is what's very difficult :)
It does. Sadly I don't see a way out.

Us the nerds just practiced endless bikeshedding and the corporations took over everything in the meantime. Oh, let's not forget the people who kept inventing LISP dialects BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE WORLD NEEDED!

I know this feeling!
Sure.

I also find this difficult to grok. But how is this relevant?
Woah! That's crazy...!
X (formerly Twitter) has two sorts of feeds that are chosen.

1. "Following", which is chronological.

2. "For you", which is algorithmic.

For those whose motivation is tracking news events, the chronological view is most important. Yesterday's news may not matter for example.

Otherwise the algorithmic feed is awesome. In my case I want Ukraine news and only the Western side presented. The algorithmic feed gives me interesting posts
from accounts that I do not necessarily follow, and omits the Russian point of view - which is perfect.

No one wants to talk to a chatbot that's useless.

Up to now, "useless" was implicit in "chatbot". From here? I've been a skeptic, but after some of the things I've seen and heard recently, at this point I'm no longer sure.
> one class of Congress cannot arbitrarily impose restrictions on future classes of Congress without an amendment

Plenty of laws regulate Congress–it isn't sovereign.

Laws require the President's sign off. It isn't one Congress binding another. It's the U.S. government restricting the Congress. (Or more accurately, its members.)
Natural language worked pretty well for this comment! it’s one of the most basic forms of communication and we’re going to see a lot more of it.
That is a typo, you should be able to create all those peers. For which type of peer did you run into this issue?
The text of Section 3(b)(1) is phrased in such a way that it actually does not address the censorship concern, since it only allows people under 18 to search for censored content, but still does not allow websites to display censored content. I've explained here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36900707

Section 3(a)(1) does not specifically list trans issues, but it does list anxiety and depression as two conditions that websites are required to "prevent and mitigate". This is arguably even worse, since the bill requires websites to censor reasonable content that would be informative to people of any gender identity.
> I had to lift the landscape in my mind, rotate it ninety degrees, and set it back down.

Fully sighted, but I have been doing something vaguely similar for decades. As soon as I know an area decently well, or have taken at least one good look at a map, I can visualize the entire region’s roads and rotate it in my mind to find the best path (shortest time or least stress) from point A to point B. It’s fantastically handy to use in larger cities without having to pull out a map.

And as long as I have prominent landmarks to reference (mountains, etc.), I have a remarkably good sense of direction thanks to that mental model. Provided I have been fully aware of the scenery during my first trip anywhere, I can usually find my way back there from any other direction in which major roads exist. There is a fair bit of “hunting” to find the right road to go down, sure, but I rarely stray significantly from the correct direction.

Downside is that this is 100% reliant on sight to triangulate across geographical landmarks, I’ll grant you that. But it’s the mental model being used by the author that I’m surprised to see is so apparently similar.
>All that's required to be a naturalized US citizen is to be physically born in the U.S.

You're getting "naturalized citizen" confused with "natural born citizen."
I still submit that if you cranked CPU speed 10x or 100x higher than now that you'd just hit the wall so hard that actual quality of life improvements would not be 10x or 100x at all, unless you could simultaneously make bus speeds and memory speeds jump with it (presumably magic superconductor would do that, too, I dunno.)

Specialized workloads, for sure.
No, they're different compounds. Permethrin is an insecticide, picaridin also know as icaridin, is an unrelated compound that's just a repellent.

There is also just, and I hate to bring it out, Occam's Razor.

What requires fewer assumptions?

Aliens exist, and either in defiance of known physics they have FTL, or take inconceivably long and one-way voyages... only to crash on our particular rock. Always in the US for some reason, always without leaving a single piece of evidence. They must be both monstrously advanced, and comically inept at the same time.

OR

There are more mundane explanations for the alleged "sightings" and so on, ranging from human error, machine error, to "secret military programs like B-21, NGAD, and some insane cutting-edge drones." Just like a lot of UFO sightings turned out to be the US' early attempts to develop stealth craft, I suspect a lot of present sightings will turn out to be the aforementioned projects. "Aliens" makes a perfect smokescreen for a government which would love to be able to dismiss the odd sighting of a black program like a next generation drone or stealth bomber.

As a bonus that also explains the Grusch theater, this is an almost laughably inexpensive thing to do, potentially to deflect attention from some very expensive projects.
Consumer Reports and others have found that most of the "issues" reported with EVs in these rankings are software glitches, often solvable with a reboot or an over-the-air software update: https://www.greencars.com/expert-insights/are-electric-cars-...

Those findings are consistent with my experience.
It seems like this what this theory states is that what females find sexually attractive is the ability to create sexually attractive offspring, not sexual attractiveness itself. It's all about the potential for future generations - in this case it's more than just the next one, but also trying to guarantee the one after that.
It is both normal and reasonable and an accounting trick. The entire concept of depreciation is an accounting trick. Albeit a useful trick if you ask me.

Look at cash flows if you don't like accounting tricks.

I've just disabled those exceptional rules when dhcp isn't required.

I'm wondering if this is:

- a default configuration situation (which I think I rectified)

- DHCP exception hardcoded in the firewall binaries
This is also why reorgs tend to be pretty common at large tech orgs.

They know they'll almost inevitably ship their org chart. And they'll encounter tons of process-based friction if they don't.

The solution: Change your org chart to match what you want to ship
I feel the same about your post. I have no idea how deploying a flat binary or Python tarball is better than a container image. The entire system is effectively a dependency. Docker (or equivalent) lets me ship the entire system. Moreover I can take quite literally an image of that one system and deploy it to any number of machines identically, without any rebuilding. And I can host it interchangeably on any number of cloud providers with only small changes in configuration. The benefits go on and on. I would only ever bother with a "plain" deployment in the future if I had complete control over my deployment environment (+ the in-house expertise and time budget to manage it) and the performance overhead of the container was unacceptable.
You jest, but I know there's someone out there who's working on a project with one of those names exactly. Or, someone just saw your comment and will start soon. And the world keeps churning on! I admit, I would be interested in checking out a project like that.
This is some rambling clickbait.

Minor nit, the wage explosion was _wild_. Basically we moved a bunch of workers that were going to retire in the next ~5 years into a single year and stomped on immigration.

Suggesting that it coming off of that to a more normal growth pattern makes the economy very sick seems like a mischaracterization.
It's just bizarre to me that car accidents and heart attacks aren't on anyone's radar at all

You turn on the news, and it'll go on and on and on and on and on about which bathroom people can or can't use, but there's nothing about heart health. If anything it's the opposite, just crazy bullshit about marauding criminal immigrants/pending climate catastrophe that stresses people out interspersed with closeups of greasy salty cheeseburgers
Firefox Android here as well. Works normally for me. Are you running ublock?
I can't be the only one who actively doesn't want any of that. Surely there's a market for those who just want a car, not a smartphone on wheels.

Permethrin for treating clothes (apply thinly and let dry for 12 hours) is usually 0.5% strength, not the 10%+ used for livestock.
What does it even mean to block DHCP? A firewall sits between networks and filters what gets passed between them. Linux can absolutely block DHCP packets being passed between networks. But it has to see them itself, obviously. So you don't want other processes being able to see them too? Well don't run those processes. Why on earth would you run a DHCP server that you hope can never receive any requests?!
I don't know about all the claims made in the article, but Elon Musk certainly could do with a moment or two of silence in the public sphere.

FWIW, my experience with eSIMs has been identical to my experience receiving physical SIMs. Instead of inserting it, I scanned a QR code. It then activated much as any physical SIM activates the first time you put it in a phone.

People are complaining so much that I guess maybe I've had just good luck with carriers?

Fair point on changing devices. I've never tried that and I imagine you might have to get the carrier to issue a new eSIM, which is might be an annoying ordeal. It's _meant_ to be possible to do it easily (see e.g. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212780 - but that does say it works only for "some carriers").

I learned how fun metaprogramming is but also realized that it is a double edged sword, so if I want the codebase to be maintainable then I'd stay away from metaprogramming as much as possible, it's a hell to debug, but also very powerful when you want to construct your own DSL etc.
No, in the part "April 2020 - Shopify hijacks Upsell X" they are requesting him to "not distribute mass solutions via private apps to Shopify merchants in order to bypass checkout". Shopify had their own checkout from the beginning and the whole purpose of his application was to bypass the existing solution. I assume there were Bulgarian payment providers connected to Shopify in 2017, but according to himself these payment providers wouldn't accept their business idea to run a pharmacy as an e-commerce. Therefore, he made a workaround.
Kotakat!! I attempted to ping you on discord but it wouldn't let me. I found your discord posts super helpful with Pollen gear! Thank you for that. I might be able to help with esims, asking someone right now. Are you doing data only? or ims too?
100% agree. People that want training data released mostly just want to find something to attack, it has nothing to do with transparency.
Twitter has been doing this for ages though. Plenty of other examples of handles being taken from people and give to famous people. For example, if you registered @snoopdog early or whatever, these handles were routinely re-appropriated.

Value extractor? I'm a non tech guy so I have a different perspective. I started a side business selling online. I have no idea where I would even start on my own, between setting up a website and handling payments etc. Shopify allowed me to literally stand up an ecommerce platform in an afternoon, and soon enough I was accepting $6k per month. The cost was something like $39/month, which was phenomenal value for money.
I need to be able to tow about 5,000 from time to time. The B58 will do that and the EV side will get me to work and back without much if any gas.

An EV is not an option for my lifestyle at this time. Once my 3 are out of car seats and/or strollers a sedan EV might work.

There’s always a Hummer EV or even cyber truck but that’s not quite my cup of tea.
Same with static types. Sometimes it really helps to limit yourself, other times it's setting up unnecessary obstacles with no benefit. Sometimes you want Idris 2 or Rust, and sometimes you want Ruby or Clojure.
