Agreed. Also in NYC and while I do trust my kid with road safety I’ve witnessed so many drivers blowing through a red light, speeding, parking in the middle of a crosswalk and pulling all kinds of dangerous manoeuvers that the streets don’t actually feel particularly safe. There’s just zero enforcement out there.
That trans men exist.

Best case it could have saved me twenty thousands dollars in medical expenses and given me a body that doesn't look like it was stitched together by Frankenstein due to transitioning as an adult. I might also have been able to start a career I enjoy at a younger age, instead of wasting four years of college and five years of my career on a job I hate.

Worst case, it would still have made me a less obnoxious and sexist child. Once I understood how I was different, I was a lot nicer to the people around me.

(I know this is controversial and maybe bordering on flame bait - even though that is not my intention, so I'll try to ignore any responses.)

I dislike the wording of “cheap”, do they mean cheap as in bad materials or affordable to lower incomes. That said comments like this

Chinese EV company Nio, recently told the Financial Times that the U.S. should offer Chinese EVs equal access to the American market

“””

make me wonder what “equal access” means. Does it mean that when we let the company do business in the US that someone from our government must be allowed on the board of the company? I’m not rooting really for anyone. Nor am I proposing a solution I want. I’m just spewing venom I guess.
It’s a privately minted coin where the founders control the issuance and hold a large majority. It runs on a proof of stake network. The private company has complete control over the coin.

This is absolutely a traditional shitcoin.
What is the immigration process to move to another company if you are waiting on I-485 approval (status: pending, but EAD granted)? I’m currently laid off from the company that petitioned for my GC. (I’m not sure if I received a visa number).
How did you learn DNS? And when?
Also on TN status with a Computer Science degree. It appears to be luck-of-the-draw with the CBP officers. I also have two Software Engineering modules and my program was under the Faculty of Engineer which helps.

I initially applied for L1B at Peace Bridge and was told that I needed to show the company I worked for was profitable (not true).

We drove to Detroit-Windsor from Fort Erie as they told us there were no appointments until three weeks out (you don’t actually need an appointment I found out later).

In Detroit I was denied my L1B because “the last year you worked abroad cannot count towards your acquisition of specialized knowledge” (also false).

My opinion of CBP is you need to get the right one or have your lawyer on speed-dial so they can argue with the officer.

Getting status at the border used to be seen as a pro for Canadians but more and more I’m seeing it as a con.

Yep, I agree with you that it's better to be explicit than implicit here. Initialization/destruction order is often tricky, and source of obscure bugs.

Is it paranoia? If it wasn’t for guns, cars would be the number killer of kids under 16. Note: This includes kids IN cars being ferried around from activity to activity.

Granted the numbers are lower now than before but that’s because of various safety and traffic calming efforts. Seems like we should push harder on that front, so parents can feel safe encouraging their kids to just pop over to their friends place on their own.
One more thing, some said that not letting DRM being added as standard led to Widevine being controlled by single entity. Does having standard might help prevent a lock-in?
You are loading code you wrote, not evaling untrusted user input. Common Lisp is actually safer than a lot of languages in that Java, Python, Javascript, etc all do lots of runtime reflection and metaprogramming that leads to vulnerabilities where lisp metaprogramming is happening at compile time and therefore a lot safer.
False dichotomy either way -- in reality we will do nothing until the pain becomes unbearable.
> But I just don't see e.g. for-profit bootcamps with their simplified curriculum as any kind of social justice project.

And you're right not seeing them that way!

While I'm sure there are now good-faith bootcamps that have the goal of improving the career options of people who may otherwise never get those, the first time I saw the programming/sysadmin bootcamp concept implemented was around 2002, where a company was recruiting kids still in high school to train them for their openings.

They did that because there were not enough skilled IT workers back then.
Right, what that really meant is, they did that because there were not enough skilled IT workers they could afford back then. Someone did the math and estimated that for some openings, it would be more profitable to train first-time-job-seekers (in a lot of cases, not-yet-job-seekers) than to offer a better deal. They're still in business so I guess it worked!
> this seems to be purely a thing in the english speaking cultures

This is a major thing in many East Asian cultures as well, China/Taiwan/Japan/Korea. Korea had to pass a law saying that private academies have to close at 10pm, so that kids aren't studying past midnight, but some academies still stay open secretly as the parents are demanding the extra hours. It's a vicious circle: kids compete for the few spots in top universities so they can get into the best companies, average qualifications rise, so next generation have to compete even harder for the same few spots.

This is carried over to the US as well. Asians compete for the few spots in top universities, as they are held to higher standards already, and this just keep ratcheting up the average standard for Asians each generation.
I used to hide in the closet with one of those when my parents would argue, much easier to drown them out with headphones than just a tv by itself. Granted the selection was always something like Andy Griffith or primetime network. While the circumstances surrounding why I needed that little thing are terrible I'm still happy I had it and its still floating around in a box somewhere in my current home.

> However, the officer denied me the TN status saying I need an Engineering, not Computer Science degree, to qualify for the Engineer TN status.

My wife had a similar thing happen (not a TN visa though). The immigration lawyers got to work and she was allowed to try again a couple weeks later. This time the officer agreed with the assessment that she was qualified for that visa type. The original officer had a very narrow perspective on how a certain job title was defined that was not inline with how most companies operate.

If your company has a Canadian office, the lawyers could try getting you on an L visa. Or there's an E visa. Once you're on one of those visas then your company can sponsor a green card. Green cards are much more stable and they're easier to renew. Then citizenship if you want to go that far.
It's honestly the craziest thing I've heard in a while. Talk about solving problems that dont exist
yes, why do people use Tor if it's well known that it's been hacked by multiple governments for a long time?
The way I explain this is, "my job is not to protect my kids from harm, it's to protect them from irreparable harm."

I've had this instinct whenever my kids are on the jungle gym to say, "slow down!" "That's too high!" etc. but I usually catch myself and think, "if they fall is it a cry or a hospital visit?"
It's the choice of colors that make it hard for me. Reader Mode in Firefox makes it much better and easier on the eyes.
It's not weird at all if you're familiar with the history of the term, and the currents in mass politics of the 20th century. Everything from the German SDP's (left wing) acceptance of Hitler's rise to power with their quasi-accelerationist "first Hitler, then us" strategy, to the (right wing) OSS/CIA/fascist Strategy of Tension in Italy, to (right wing) boogaloo boys trying to incite race war, to (right wing) evangelical millenarianism around sparking war in Jerusalem to prompt coming of the antichrist.

It does have its beginnings as a concept in Marxist writings. In a way, Marx himself was the first accelerationist (but he seems to have mostly abandoned that thinking towards the end of his life).
Yes, that's the issue. People generally like the people they elect, just not all the others. In a representative house, that's probably the way it should be, more or less.

> Their private property rights are explicitly protected by the Due Process of the 5th amendment and Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment (same as you and me)

You’re implying legal restrictions on executives trading their own stock are illegal. That is nonsense. This entire legal theory is totally fringe and unprecedented, to say nothing of internally inconsistent.
Huh? Did you read the link, from the guy who was there during the major failure at Google that led to proto3 being redesigned without that flaw?

The whole lesson is that you can’t apply the lessons from static type systems in PLs when you have multiple versions and fragmented validation across different subsystems. Counter-intuitively! Everyone thought it was a good idea, and it turned out to be a disaster.
> Even children need to be optimized for maximum success (so profit) now? Must have missed that memo.

Well ... no they don't and this is the problem. 'Regular' people for some reason feel the need to replicate what 'they' do. Why do you see 'them' do this and then think 'my children need what they are doing with theirs'.

Look.. the data are unequivocal. Most people are unhappy. If you are not unhappy with your life, you are the outlier and the exception. Thus... don't try to do what others are doing, since most likely they're unhappy. Just enjoy yourself.
How often do you see mistakes in application? Was doing TN to GC and my case was considered abandoned because we never got the RFE for medicals. We also never got any warning online or otherwise. After 9-months of the supposed RFE, it was denied. My lawyers recommended not reopening because of TN
>We don't typically write about startups gaining initial signups and then compare them to the active users as if they lost something by not getting 100% of them to engage.

I mean, we should? Startup valuations are full of MAU pumping and straight bullshit, so why shouldn't we judge their numbers with a cynical eye? Meta claimed a number of users the first few days, well, half of them aren't using it anymore, so they aren't "Users"
Sadly reboot the VM is still a valid step in debugging DNS, while you google "clear cache for this type of client resolver"

For small snippets, three backticks and a space works.

My biggest gripe is notifications. There’s no distinction between a direct message and a group chat, including meeting chats. To stop being pinged every time anyone talks to anyone else, you have to disable chat notifications completely.

And yes… team channels exist, but very few people actually use them, because ad-hoc group chats are just so much easier. It’s the same with Slack, except that Slack has a reasonable mechanism for handling notifications.
You're going to have to be somewhat careful or forward thinking to keep those same benefits for your kids going forward, I'm afraid. I made the opposite move and I see kids playing outside far more often here in Finland than I ever did in the States, and I grew up in a quite cozy little suburb.

In my darker moments I fear this may be one of those things where the tradeoffs between a high performance society and a take-it-easy culture just can't be squared. But then I remember that it's more likely downstream of other, more transient issues in American culture - the ever present fear of getting cancelled, the heavily bike-hostile ecosystem, etc. It's worth fighting to get back.
Lets not forget personal services! You can setup sshd on a box behind NAT as a hidden service. It'll disconnect more than you like but screen or tmux can help with that.
This is the most important work.
Absolutely, and America has double problem where denser neighborhoods are seen as unsafe due to crime. And less dense neighborhoods means kids can’t go anywhere without having an adult drive them.

So kids are stuck at home, miles from a playmate.
Boredom can be a great breeding ground for creativity.
They specified nodes but not the type. Most likely they are relay nodes and not exit nodes. But I'd appreciate it if the gp chimed in.
Inferring the number of loop integrations or recursion levels is in practice impossible when the number depends on the user input.

For a system language I would like to see that when the compiler cannot infer the bound on the stack size or when that static bound exceeds some static limit, a function call is treated as fallible.

Maybe it'd have done better if it launched worldwide. I still haven't seen the app and I do use twitter. A lot of people I follow are from Europe so threads won't have most of the content I'd want anyway.
with the caching, it's a nice bimodal distribution, 99.99$ 0 ms response time, 0.01% 30 ms response time (with a small chance of having that query packet be dropped, with retries in the 1000s of ms). I've seen people write caches that use the old value and kick off a new query in the background to hopefully populate the cache again.

I was on one of those calls where you get a question you weren’t expecting..

Jorge: do you think a foosball table will fit in you Honda (element)?

Me: I’ll take the back seats out and be right over.

He was given the table when the office moved and only had room to move one of the tables. And it does fit.. barely.
And if the accident happens right after the driver panic brakes, thereby taking control of the car... Does that count as an FSD accident or a driver-in-control accident?

I would be willing to bet, with Tesla's fraudulent ways, they are counting a brake before an accident a driver-in-control accident. They should be required to publish the time-since-FSD of every single accident in a Tesla vehicle.
What is different about this than the other "chat with your documents" things? I've seen so many, even open source ones.
No, criminals are. Criminals will also break into your home and steal your stuff, or break into your car and drive away, or pick your wallet right out of your pocket.

The existence of crime is not an example of the need for anonymity.
Yeah, I was just thinking of that, and how you'd probably want to concat with some level of structure to eliminate this. e.g. by adding a delimiter between fields and doing a find and replace on that delimiter (carefully, e.g. CSV rules with quotes and escapes). Whatever it takes to definitively differentiate foo/barfoo from foobar/foo. Maybe just prefixing every field with its length is sufficient.

I'm sure there's some relevant papers on the simplest way to achieve this I can and should look up. Hopefully they don't summarize as it being a much harder problem to do right. ;)
I asked first, and would still like to know if you think we are on the right track as you said in the previous thread. I see reasons to be hopeful, but we are not on the right track right now. What do you believe, are we on the right track?
I'd conservatively estimate 90% of the people who make core FOSS software interface decisions haven't had to learn anything technical in an entirely unfamiliar domain where there existing mental models didn't apply in decades. Beyond that, many consider having learned these arbitrary, terse interfaces as a badge of honor, and for some reason thinks that makes them better technologists. I'll bet they'd be even better had they been able to focus on the core concepts rather than trying to get into some systems engineer's head who worked at Berkley in 1984.
Very good keyboards are under 1000$ as far as I learned. Active boxes can also be had relatively cheap. No need to fall into the audiophile trap.

Routinely in New York City at least, you can kill someone using a motor vehicle almost with complete impunity.

The driver who led to Sammy's Law (which still hasn't passed) only received a 180 day license suspension a year and a half after the accident, even though he sped past a stopped vehicle on the righthand side (the vehicle had stopped for the child). Death by car is often considered acceptable.

There is really no disincentive to dangerous driving, to say nothing of the preeminence of driving more generally.

Words are tools of communication, but they are also tools of deception and obfuscation. They never represent reality correctly, but they can be useful.

There is a chain of complexity where subatomic wavicles assemble into atoms, molecules, self-reproducing molecules, cells, multicellular life, specialized multicellular life, different clades of life, and on up to forms of intelligence and self-awareness.

It is not possible for a human-equivalent intelligence to maintain continuous awareness of all these levels of complexity, and so we operate, much of the time, in abstractions and metaphors that we mistake for being real. We code-switch, consciously and not, through sets of behaviors that pretend that various abstractions are real.

Among these abstractions: a town is a group of buildings and people, but different social abstractions don't have to agree about the contents. So the post office, the street maps, the police and the real estate agents can all be simultaneously in disagreement about the house where the author lives in terms of their mappings of "towns" and "jurisdictions", yet all agree on the street address and which building they mean.

When you can't do something because it's illegal, you can do it, but you know that various social institutions will attempt to inflict various consequences on you if they become aware of your action in the appropriate ways. But most of the time you just say "I can't" and fall back on "I shouldn't".

There's a lot more, but it's about the same: we build lots of maps, we don't agree on them, but we keep acting as though they were real even though we know that they aren't. When someone is invested enough in their current map, they can become very upset with someone who points out that it's fictional.
> How did you learn DNS? And when?

I wrote one of the world's first dynamic DNS servers for our dialup modem customers in the early 90s, so when connected to our Livingston Portmasters with an assigned IP address you could be username.isp.com while online.

Later updated this so you could also be http://www.username.isp.com all the time just by dropping an index.html file in your ~username/site directory.

I learned both by spelunking BSD, reading man pages, and rapid prototyping in Perl. So I'm with tristor, it felt relatively straightforward.

// I don't say I wrote the first because I don't know. I am not aware of any other regional or national commercial dialup ISP in the U.S. that offered this before we did.
