Related, I recently started rebuilding the post editor on IndieHackers.com to use Tiptap. Enjoying it so far. I wish your documentation had a few more examples, and better English in some places. But its high quality was part of what attracted me to Tiptap in the first place. I'd love to see y'all continuing to iterate and improve on it!
You realize the "beauty and grandeur" you are referencing comes from aristocratic families boasting about their wealth and making it obvious to the poor that they are better than everyone? The buildings you are thinking about were quite literally made to humiliate others and boost some rich guy's ego. So much for values and tradition

When we talk about "metadata", in the context of a messenger like Whatsapp, it refers to the data (metadata is data) around the actual "payload" (which is the e2ee message).

Yes, all of that is metadata.
I think this assumes the first thread will actually succeed. Don't forget complications if you need failure/exception handling...
I understand the point; ideally you want to have some free content before you actually need to sign up. However, when integrating a paid solution like OpenAI for example, the tricky part is to limit the number of free requests to prevent going bankrupt by one user. I can imagine that this would be a potential reason to ask for a sign up.
Puritanical nutcases would be my guess.

I was going to make the same comment. London's buildings vary in age and style even in the most historic districts—thanks to German influence—and it still looks and feels great.

I agree, we need a replacement. At the protocol level I would like life insurance policy returns and banking service as a place to store my money that allows me to pay any portion of currency I want at any time. So Facebook can be paid for the time I'm on the site, for instance. The returns from the insurance contract might even make it all free to me (it would, easily). Everyone is happy except those who rely on reaching you via forced advertisements. Oh, and the people who rely on enslaving others.

Any such protocol would be labeled as evil, filthy socialism.

So if the uptake is "refrain from (non-productive) virtue signalling, especially where that takes the form of criticism or indignation directed at someone else", then considered as a first order comment and suggestion, that in general seems fine.

But:

1. One side of the culture wars really likes to temporarily put on a cloak of neutrality in a way that pretends that only its opposition is making a moral claim. This sort of "remove moral stances from casual conversation" position can similarly position itself as being neutral while actually being a weapon pointed in one direction.

2. If society as a whole is perpetrating some continual harm of some form, saying "don't interrupt our discussion about X to complain about it!" is itself perpetuating that harm, and is an expression of entitlement. If in the 1960s a white person in the south said "don't derail this conversation about hamburgers to rant about how we need to end segregation!" then they were part of the problem. Similarly today, I think it's totally appropriate to mention in that hamburger discussion that (a) beef really does have a large carbon footprint (b) the amazon really is being cut down for meat production for example.

3. We _do_ all form our worldviews in part based on what we see others expressing. No one emerges from a cave having worked out how they view everything from first principles free from the influence of the people around them. All of this public discourse does have an impact. And though large societal changes do also require organized action, they are of course also preceded by discussion, some of it uncomfortable or perceived as "disruptive" by some, which prepares society for that change.

Historic energy consumption is probably higher than classically POE supported.

Also, any length of POE run gets voltage drop, and POE switches and injectors often have tedious modal configuration based upon length of run and are designed with non-standard limitations such as maximum draw limits shared across multiple ports, which in aggregate will cause no end of issues. For verification, ask any experienced CCTV installer. These are exactly the sort of issues that cause users to take products back to their distributors.

So it's a case of "works in theory, PITA in reality, probable support and brand image impact huge, resulting priority zero".

I just wouldn't say 50%, more like 10%. Again for actual Ivy Leagues only, not top non-Ivy schools like CMU or Berkeley.
I've noticed that it slows back down to childhood levels when I am on a really fun vacation, especially one that involves heavy physical activity and fascinating new outdoor environments. I think the novelty, play, and lack of stress combined are able to 'fix' this.

I am convinced the slowing down is essentially cultural, and is a result of how our lives are different as adults- and can be fixed by understanding this.

I think this can be accomplished full time as an adult by not taking things so seriously, and taking a lot more (not physically dangerous) risks. Go on adventures, don't obsess over fear of financial ruin, don't care about status or 'careers' and time will slow down.

As a single dad, I can't really figure out how to do that full time given my responsibilities, but can manage it for stretches of time on weekends and evenings.
A proper method is counting ALUs instead of vague "cores".
K-shaped recovery in action. The very rich are swimming in profits extracted from the pandemic and profit-price spiral (driving 60% of inflation) while there are massive layoffs at most megacorps and loan rates are too high for people to afford to purchase a home.

Even making $250k/year isn't enough to afford to live where I grew up in San Jose, CA. It became a tiered society of mostly low-paid and middle-income renters contrasted with some retired (maintaining Prop 13) but mostly ultra-rich (mostly people from abroad who bring huge piles of cash) who are the only ones who can afford to live there. It slides into becoming a miserable banana-republic (unless you're very rich).

That it happens to be 12 volts DC has some value versus whatever power loss an inverter has for use in a vehicle. Though I'm with you on the relative ease of starting with a laptop instead.
No idea, I’m a Brit so not familiar with the details of the US tax system. I’m mostly talking generally about free societies, as the sentiment in the book is broadly applicable. There are many forms of tax. If the system is unfair, sure, it should be fixed. Fundamentally though, my point is that the job of commandeering capital is taxation.
> Overproduction means you don’t ever see daily fluctuations you have a surplus every single day of the year.

No, this is not even remotely true. No amount of solar overproduction will let you produce energy at night. 12 hours a day (on average, depend on the season) you will not have any production regardless of overproduction. You'll have a lot of excess energy during the day, but still no energy when the sun has set. Infinity times zero is still zero. Not unless you create transoceanic HVDC cables that connect Eurasia to the Americas, literally piping electricity from one side of the world to the other. Wind also has windless days, with more extreme seasonal fluctuations. Overproduction is not a silver bullet that eliminates the need for storage. Just because you have net surplus over the course of a 24-hour period does not mean demand was satisfied at all times. This is why intermittent sources are so challenging.

> Hydropower dams are already storage. When you don’t release the water it’s saved until you do.

But you can only save energy at the rate that rainfall refills the dam. If you have a dam that refills at a rate of 10MW, you can only effectively store 10MW of excess energy. If you have 20MW of excess production, you can still only store 10MW and the other 10 MW is wasted. Dams are not batteries, they can store a lot of energy but they can only be refilled at the rate dictated by rainfall.

You also can't completely shut off a dam or the river will run dry with serious ecological consequences, and impairing downstream water supply.
> proper round-tripping of float values

Why do so many (all?) textual data serialization formats represent floats in base-10 scientific notation, anyway?

If we wanted floats that are 1. human-editable but 2. bijective with IEEE754, wouldn't floating-point hexadecimal (and "e" notation representing a base-2 exponent) be a better idea?
The term "small web" refers specifically to the old style of small handcrafted websites. But that would exclude Mastodon which is actually fairly heavy to run if you don't use a dedicated client and use the main browser app. I've heard the term "indie web" to roughly include both of these.

Stanford Research Computing | Stanford, CA (next to Palo Alto) | Full-time | Three positions | HYBRID/ONSITE

Stanford Research Computing (https://srcc.stanford.edu) is a collaboration between University IT and the Vice Provost and Dean of Research. We operate HPC environments for researchers, we do one-time consultations on projects (from software and pipelines, to data management, to physical building design and fit-out), and we provide contract support for individual Labs, Departments, and Schools.

We have two open positions:

• Stanford CryoEM Center (cEMc) Computational Resources and Data Management Specialist: Within the School of Medicine, this is a new Center, providing cryoEM equipment and services to researchers. cEMc is looking for someone who ideally has both cryoEM and Linux experience, who can advise researchers on their workflows and pipelines. You'll be a bridge between the researchers and us, helping to design workflows and pipelines that automate things as much as possible, within the limits of a shared HPC environment.

• Data Center Engineer: You're part of the SRCC, but based full-time at our primary research data center in Menlo Park (on the SLAC campus). This position includes everything from racking and cabling to maintaining and troubleshooting power distribution (415v Starline bus), UPS (spinning-mass), generators, VFDs, air handlers, chillers, PLCs, and the like.
All four positions are hybrid, except the data center engineer is fully onsite. If you don't already live in the Bay Area, I believe we provide a relocation incentive. Depending on where you live, we provide free transit passes. Unfortunately, if you don't commute, you will have to pay for parking for the days you're on-site. Work benefits are all publicly documented at https://cardinalatwork.stanford.edu/benefits-rewards. We always get two weeks off around Christmas, through you'll have to spend one or two days on-call.

Here are the links to apply:

This actually worked out to my advantage! I did this on a site, found out that they didn't ship to Canada so I abandoned the cart. I got all the oh no emails so I emailed them back telling them I CAN'T buy their stuff because you WON'T ship to me.

Couple of days later the company CEO emails me back. First he apologises (bonus points to a Canadian), promises to fix the cart abandon logic, and offers to ship me 2 of the things I was going to buy for free.

They will hopefully arrive this week

In the VS Code JS debugger, there's an option to "exclude caller" on a call frame that which prevents stacks with the given caller from pausing at a location. As mentioned elsewhere, browser devtools have something similar with "Never pause here." Do you think there's more than tools can do to make your process easier?

I maintain the vscode debugger and found both the article and your comment interesting--there's a large overlap between "programs with anti-debugger techniques" and "programs that are hard to debug."
It's unlikely that they are actually storing anything until you sign up. And even if they did it would take a lot of effort to feed them garbage from tons of different ip addresses.
I like that it's not limited to single prompts and allows to have chat messages.

Does Richard M Stallman look someone who cares about your wife getting upset for missing the plane while you fiddle with Emacs? That use case of Emacs enabling you to browse the web (accessing the airline’s website which runs non-free software) and check-in so you can ride on an airplane(which also uses non-free software) is not something that in his goals for Emacs.
It's not. The best comparison is the SM count for Nvidia hardware, or the wavefront count for AMD hardware. So a 4070 has 46 cores as you'd count them on a CPU.
SEEKING WORK | SF Bay Area | Remote OK

I'm good at working with solo founders and early stage teams. I'm "reliable and easy to work with" according to my manager at the (manual labor) temp agency I work with presently. I learn new workplaces very quickly and that applies backwards in time to when I was a professional software developer. I love development and got my piece of paper, proving I can also do stuff I don't want to and stick with it for years--B.S. Comp Sci from a Midwestern state school. I know the 'passion' angle is overplayed, but growing up on IRC and hacking for fun with my buddies never left me. 'The Way Things Work' was my favorite book, same thought process as I explore tech. The web of knowledge is dense, so it's easy to grok new stuff.

I'm looking for basically any opportunity with good people, I don't have a big ego about the kinds of work I'm capable of or how much money I used to make. Today I make $15-20/hr doing labor depending on the job, just need to match that and it'd be a good deal. I understand the risks of taking someone in who's not worked in the industry in awhile, maybe you need someone to figuratively start off as a dish washer. But I can show my own infra and relevant past work (links in bio). I'm good at automating manual tasks, documenting, training team members with little/no experience.

Why am I off the market and looking for work inside? I went from web agency to university to startups to big corporate and never really found my tribe and my network eroded after a couple relocations. Went into temp labor gigs and I really like the model of showing up when I want to work and taking as much time off as I need to recover, working on my own projects between; but I'd be happy to add a 15-30 hour/wk gig to my plate doing some kind of tech work and make a big impact for a team that might otherwise have a hard time getting high value talent. I can also do a few weeks of 40-60+ hour weeks, I'm no stranger to sprints of grueling work either. Time to market is king, I understand. It could be a quarter or a few that we work together. I'm not super enthusiastic about any kind of 'X-to-hire' but I do want to apply my skills and leave a good mark on whatever companies I work with.

Some tech I am good with: Python, Clojure, Docker, NodeJS, Nginx, BASH, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, Java, XMPP. I'm bullish on self-hosting things and have stood up and maintained so many systems, my experience and knowledge is pretty vast.

> Most people who use drugs eventually end up not being able to live like normal adults.

Yes. Claiming people can use these things without consequences is just wrong. Anyone who thinks otherwise has clearly never dealt with addicts. The only possible argument for drug decriminalization is getting rid of all the violent crime surrounding it. That's a worthy reason but must certainly be weighed against the significant risks presented by drugs. Lots of people out there have literally never witnessed the extent an opioid addict's drug seeking behavior.
