GCP over azure and AWS. I got to greenfields my company into the cloud, but as such I felt compelled to cost/benefit comparison the three main cloud providers. I also looked into Heroku and Serverless as alternatives.

It’s a close race between AWS and GCP, but we wanted serverless because we didn’t want the hassle of touching anything kubernetes related. Unfortunately, AWS Lambda had some goofy limitations, like requiring every method to be post and only supporting single routes per container (this was my understanding at the time, it may have changed). On the other hand, GCP Cloud Run is built on top of Knative, which allows you to do serverless services.

Also, fuck Jeff Bezos.

Not sure I agree with the prohibition of these substances... but legislation doesn't have to be written quite so naively as that. You can ban unnamed, similar chemicals at the same time.

They already do this for Schedule I drugs (not that I agree with that either). They finally got fed up with adding new designer drugs to the schedule, and there's an entry that says something like "any similar chemical substance that causes the same pharmaceutical effects as a Schedule I drug or is used for such effects or has a similar chemical structure".

I definitely don't agree with that clause when it comes to drug enforcement, but if a good case could be made that PFAS should be banned, then adding that clause to preemptively block PFAS-alikes that are just a couple atoms away from the original formula doesn't seem excessive to me. And, if somehow it should be excessive (the change fixes all the problems we might have with PFAS substances), then let them argue that to Congress.

Exemptions for producing small amounts for research, obviously.

If Congress didn't do this, if they're not doing that... then they're just bad at the one thing they're supposed to be doing: writing effective legislation.
I haven't personally written a book during Nano, but I know a friend who did. She found the experience both challenging and rewarding. The intense writing pace boosted her productivity and creativity. The editing process was indeed a bit messy, but she appreciated the raw creativity that poured out during Nano.
Could there be limitations to making a large piece of this crystal, so in practice it is never useful?
A “game” doesn’t have to use canvas and rasterization (in fact, its pretty clear that they don’t assume that games will, since “can I use graphics” – the answer is yes – is a FAQ, not just something that goes without saying.)

Another Nim user here. Typically you just build the project by `nim c <myProject.nim>`, since Nim has such a strong macro system a lot of typical build stuff is just done with macros. Of course there's also the default Nimble package manager which allows you to list dependencies and tasks using Nim itself. This means that if you know how to write Nim managing the build system is a breeze.

It'll be hard to make traditional motor windings out of this particular material because AFAIK it's a ceramic, but perhaps with thin films on flex PCBs it would be possible.

I'm imagining a future where a superconducting layer on a PCB is just another checkbox you can choose when ordering small runs of boards.

[ ] 1 oz copper

[ ] 2 oz copper (+$2)

[X] 10 micron LK-99 (+$10)

Another thought - I think the first place we'll see this widely rolled out is in IC's (waiting for the Asianometry video on it). IC's are already planar, they're small so exotic materials aren't a big contributor to costs, and they're very power dense. Replacing a metal layer with a superconducting one could enable greater gate density and potentially significant improvements in efficiency. I don't know by how much because switching losses are probably where most energy is dissipated, but it's an incremental change that seems compatible with the process.
To be clear, I think shell has problems too. But this article is poorly written. I don't think it makes sense to incorrectly use a tool and then complain about how bad it is. And to qualify your article with 35 years of experience? This just reflects that the author didnt take time to learn shell for 35 years

Do yourself a favor and read Greg's entire wiki: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ and just learn how to use it properly, and then you can complain about how painful it is to learn or how easy it is to use incorrectly rather than how bad it is if you use it wrong.
Hi gpspake - this is Piotr, the app's creator. I am so happy that you did it!

I made this app to help people who struggle with finding a good solution that works for them. After dozens of discussions with entrepreneurs like me, I discovered that most people don't track their assets or costs and think they'll get by. I don't think this is the best strategy, so I learned development and created the Good Sheet app.

Thank you for your feedback, I am happy that gamification helped you pay off your debt. This was the idea for the design of my app. I feel like updating the data every week takes 5 minutes but gives so much clarity and direction. At least for me. Now I am on the journey to help other people by trying my system. Maybe it will help them just as it did help me.

Thanks!
I think the bigger risks are in anything resembling disposable. Also, maybe getting people to understand how to care for their cookware better so it lasts 10+ years instead of 3-5 or so. I actually prefer stainless steel myself, my SO prefers non-stick. Before I was with my SO, I had a single 8" non-stick I would use just for eggs.

I'm as or more concerned about the plastics in food packaging myself. Hard to avoid with so much processed food in most grocery stores though. Wouldn't mind taking a few steps back. Considering we grow well more than enough food to actually feed the world at this point.
That sounds like a good reason not to visit Twitter/X/whatever.

What does it mean to understand language, and can you test your definition?

I say this because statements like yours are a bit like saying calculators don’t understand arithmetic. In some sense maybe they don’t. But in another sense, they actually understand arithmetic better than anyone on the planet.

So maybe ChatGPT does understand language. Maybe it understands language better than anyone. What it doesn’t have are real-world experiences.

Just a really quick aside...

Do you... say "oooey" instead of "you eye" when reading "UI"?
I forgot to add, I was suspicious at first that people were larping their jobs or it was managers who were trying to psyche everyone up to come back but at least in my experience it didn't go that way. They did make us come back when numbers were dropping (but before the vaccine was available to the general public) although the actual date they picked ended up being a major spike in my state related to a holiday weekend and they didn't back down from it. In the next month 80% of the office got Covid and they sent us back, I've been working from home since then. Like this article suggests, I would look for another job if they mandated return at this point. My math says it would be affectively a 10% pay cut to start commuting again, I'll never consider the commute as outside of work time again, it is either unpaid work or I'm considering it part of the time covered by my salary.
I have used Uber in Germany before, so I’m not sure why you think it is illegal there.

If there weren't actually tax benefits to using 401ks and IRAs, people wouldn't use them. So let's assume the rich people who use them are in fact intelligent and optimizing their savings for minimal tax.

Then the fact that those benefits go disproportionately to the wealthy, is in fact a case of tax benefits going to the wealthy. You can argue that this is fine or expected (people with more money are going to have more money in their savings accounts, duh). But it's true.
What about flood like situations?
As others have alluded to, this works fine for municipal drinking water, but we're finding PFAS in our food supply now (they're in lakes, streams, rivers, vegetables, meat, etc). We cannot feasibly clean all the surface water and soil, so the best idea is to stop introducing them in the first place.

1. you cannot increase the supply of property, or build something bigger than a hotel

2. rents are rules. You cannot be creative with rents. I.e. rent control

3. there are no predictable expenses to owning property

4. the only business you can engage in is property

5. there is no supply & demand at work

6. what properties you acquire is completely random

7. the outcome of the game is controlled by a roll of the dice. There is a strategy to Monopoly, but it is very simple, and soon everyone learns it and that ceases to be a choice

8. Not being able to collect rents on mortgaged properties is quite unlike any actual business

9. No interest is paid on debt

The biggest divergence from an actual marketplace is it is designed to be zero-sum. Markets are not zero-sum.

It's kind of like how the modern standards of mathematical "proof" don't extend backwards very well. Nobody would say that Euler wasn't one of the greatest mathematicians of all time, but much of his work was very unrigorous despite being accepted by the math community long before it was formally verified. Similarly there is lots of science that was settled way before it actually made falsifiable predictions which were confirmed through experiment. The classic example is Newtonian physics, which was contradicted by several observations that were only reconciled by Einstein. Another example would be like Boyle's models of gas and liquid. These models all hold approximately, and are very useful (hence their acceptance), but wouldn't really pass the criterion of falsifiability.

Kuhn frames it as "anything goes", which is supposed to be what the horrified scientist utters to themself as they peruse the historical record of their field. Scientists tend to go with "whatever works best" (and whatever secures more funding), rather than following a strictly falsificationist paradigm.

PFAS is one of the most common causes of fish advisories by me as well.

The story changes a little when you get to Lake Michigan, which is more heavy metals, fecal coliform, etc. The heavy metals coming from the steel refineries who periodically have oopsies and dump a few tons of waste into the lake.
There's another problem, the original one that quantum computers were conceived to solve: Simulating a quantum system.
Vitamin C cures cancer like ivermectin kills COVID-19 - it doesn't actually fix the bigger problem, but, if your body has been trashed so badly that you actually have medical need to have one of these put into your arm, the improvement in your immune system would be drastic.
To be fair, China also has an extensive state surveillance apparatus. They just have their military and security agencies run it out in the open at much lower cost. The obfuscation in the US is much more expensive to maintain, but necessary for the illusory veneer of privacy and “freedom.”

Don't stop with merely hearing them; think about them.

> [Hobbes] even, through sheer force of imagination, was able to outline the main psychological traits of the new type of man who would fit into such a society and its tyrannical body politic. He foresaw the necessary idolatry of power itself by this new human type, that he would be flattered at being called a power-thirsty animal, although actually society would force him to surrender all his natural forces, his virtues and his vices, and would make him the poor meek little fellow who has not even the right to rise against tyranny, and who, far from striving for power, submits to any existing government and does not stir even when his best friend falls an innocent victim to an incomprehensible raison d'etat.

Currently only http 1.1 and no compression. But these could be added in the future.
You need other, more dangerous, short-chain PFAS to make those inert PFAS polymers. Costs would greatly increase if manufacturers weren't allowed to release any to the environment. I think enforcing this and increasing prices is a better idea than a ban.

Since Nim compiles to JS and C you just have to tell Nim what is available dn the target language and you can call stuff just as if it was a Nim function. These definitions can be auto generated, and they can live in a package you can simply import.
Coal Plants are even less
If $0.0015/kWh is the current fuel cost, a 100x increase would bring it up to $0.15/kWh. That's 15 cents per kilowatt hour, not a fraction of a cent. It would make nuclear power among the most expensive of electricity sources from fuel cost alone.
No, it's to inflate the money whenever the government needs to spend it. Which is what it has done continuously since its inception. The same has happened in every other country that switched to fiat money.

No. It's 2023. You're expected to take credit cards like it says on the little logo on the window. If your credit card machine is broken, your Taxi is broken and you can't pick up fares unless YOU tell them ahead of time that it's cash only.

If this happens to me I simply tell the driver I don't have any cash and exit the vehicle. Now if you have luggage in the trunk this of course gets a little more complicated. Somehow the credit card machine amazingly comes back to life as I'm getting out.
