I had no trouble getting alcohol and pot at 13. There were tons of places that sold to minors, and adults of questionable morality that would buy for kids for a cut of the purchase price. Kids would raid parents liquor cabinets. Older siblings would buy.

But it’s not like most kids that age sit around drinking all day. You would occasionally happen into it and have a party with friends.

My parents were present, but I just didn’t do it in front of them. That’s not that hard to figure out. I would “go to a friends house,” they would “go to my house,” and in reality we went to the lake and drank and smoked up.

I don’t think this is a new phenomenon. We were doing it 35 years ago, and the oldsters I knew had done it too.
Bait and switch. Don't sign CLAs.

airbnb isnt entirely to blame, they just made the process that already existed easier for some people. This same phenomenon happens around college campuses for decades. They have special houses just for students or certain genders and many businesses cater to out of town renters. If you want changes, its at the gov. level or in regards to private property, which regulation of private property is like the opposite of what the western world is all about.
Someone from Taiwan can read a HK newspaper no problem.

The pinyin phonetic alphabet only works for mandarin, while a unified written script applies beyond mandarin.

Learning written Chinese not only connects you across varying spoken Chinese languages, but also connects you with the rich history of Classical Chinese text.

The formal pinyin system is great, and should be used along side with the actual Chinese characters. But there is no reason to replace the rich written Chinese characters, which connects across space and time, with a narrow and hollow substitute.
Well I missed that. No you can't modify running code in C and hope it's going to end well unless your C program is carefully designed to allow that.

You'll have to set paths on the installation or project so it knows where the relevant libraries and headers are. You won't configure it all correctly in the first week.

If you do give it a go, use a makefile project. If you're using something else to build, just have the call to that in the Makefile and nothing much else. Maybe it does cmake etc now? Haven't tried. I only use it occasionally nowadays. Brilliant for any refactor.
The thing is, when we start closing down oil fields, there also won't be any gas any more, and synthesizing it is incredibly energy inefficient - particularly if you just burn it.
I guess the default key is a problem too. Mainly since it might trick developers/manufactures that this somehow makes the key exchange secure if you use it while setting a device unique key.

I do work with OSDP devices and I have heard this argument from manufactures, like "we only support setting a new key while using the default key, it's more secure that way".
While it, at best, will just obfuscate the process.
>I had no trouble getting alcohol and pot at 13. There were tons of places that sold to minors, and adults of questionable morality that would buy for kids for a cut of the purchase price. Kids would raid parents liquor cabinets. Older siblings would buy.

Wow. In contrast, it never crossed my mind to buy alcohol (or pot) at 13.

It was not a thing in my environment, either. The mere idea of kids getting drunk is insanity from my perspective.
Using firefox as well (on windows 10). Never had a problem, and as far as I can remember never ever had a captcha on that site.
I’m not sure if I should leave you with a recommendation to watch Good Will Hunting or suggest that therapy can be quite different from self-help books.
The thing is, means-testing affects the people with the lowest incomes who don't qualify the most. It's like an extra tax on the lowest earners (of the class of people who don't qualify fully).

If you just passed the poverty threshold and get a 2k raise, that 2k is going to be "taxed" twice - once with regular taxes and once with losing out on your benefits. That's just not fair.

Whereas if I make 150k/year or 180k, depending which bracket you want to put it at (also idr where the brackets are exactly), as a single person, I can afford to have my taxes on everything over 120k/180k/whatever go up by a bit to make sure I'm reimbursing that 3k that I got from the government in various grants just to make sure I was doing ok.

And if you look at it real close, tax brackets are indeed a sort of means testing, so in the end it all works out.
Only took them almost a full generation of potential home buyers getting screwed to start to do something about it. Anybody with a brain has known this for 20 years.

Will it take another 20 years for them to do something about large investment groups buying up 20% of the housing stock in some cities?

> Absolutely gross solution to a problem I've never faced in over a decade of professional development. .... None of this solves C's only REAL problem (in my opinion) which is the lack of dependency management.

I'd juxtapose these two sentences.

As I understand things. Those who know Nix swear by it. You can declare a development environment which will provide the toolchain and the libraries you need to build your software.

Some things do seem inelegant about Docker containers. e.g. Building the images with Dockerfiles feels fragile. Running containers means high friction to accessing the build environment from the host machine.

Those downsides aside, AFAIU the VSCode devcontainers aim to provide that "wow it just works" experience that the Nix people love, without having to pay the steep learning curve of learning Nix.
The idea behind the combined panels addresses the limited space concern - these are full-size PV panels with a back plane that harvests the heat and cools the panel up front.
> The Haskell is beautiful to look at too.

As you might expect for a moderately complicated topic, ChatGPT is hallucinating. That is beautiful because it is not the Y combinator.

That is the Fixed-point combinator. The Y combinator is used to implement recursion when you can't directly reference the function binding.

In the haskell solution, y is used recursively on the rhs, so it's not the Y combinator, and so it's defining something different and simpler, so of course it looks different and simpler.

Do not trust ChatGPT without first giving it a brief bit of thought yourself.

And also, please don't just post ChatGPT's ramblings here if you have nothing worth adding. Most of us, I think, are here for human discussions, not to talk to chatGPT indirectly. If I wanted chatgpt's ramblings, I would go to that site instead.
I haven't done enough PKI to call myself "good" at it but I've done enough to shudder any time I hear "hardcoded key"
All the tiled houses I lived in (in Melbourne, Australia) had nothing under the terracotta tiles. Standing in the loft, you saw the underside of the tiles.

Late in the day when the sun was low, you would see chinks of sunlight through the gaps between tiles.
Could you be more constructive than just saying it's ridiculous? If you're an Amazon shop CDK/CloudFormation definitely is a competitor.

Also Terraform now directly integrates with CDK. So apparently Hashicorp felt the heat .

Looks like competition to me.
My main experience at the time was with Heretic (only slightly more sophisticated than Doom I/II) - you're right that it's a bit tedious but at the time (when 3d was still a novelty) it somehow added to the feeling of really being there. Additionally I was 12 years old in 1995 which must have helped :)
I've had access to all these extensions with it for years. Which tells me this restriction Firefox has had this whole time was not technical and their explanations were a bunch of bullshit.

Yeah (and I agree) but it doesn't have to be docker

It can be a vm, even a chroot.

Also the compatibility questions and docker "opacity" come to mind.

A QEMU VM sounds like a better propositions
I love my Dream Machine too. I bought it about six months ago and it's been solid and was really easy for me, a novice with advanced networking, to get going with vlans and firewall rules.

I don't need this setup at all, like I don't need cat6 ports in every room, there's definitely an element of it being a hobby. Maybe I just like flashing LEDs.

Sonos gear still using STP was an unwanted pain, all part of the fun I guess.
Never heard of Sticky Ducky, will add. For me, the other essential to install on Kiwi is Bypass Paywalls.
Kind of worrying that something like Cloudflare is so deeply baked into Render and customers don’t have a choice on whether or not they’re using it.
... which is still insanely wasteful because methane synthesis from scratch is just 50-60% efficient, and capacities are going to be limited - we need all the synth-fuel we can get for long distance air flight and transoceanic ships because these two usecases can't reasonably be shifted towards electric propulsion.

Making synth-methane just to burn it in a stove which loses a lot of heat to the environment compared to an induction stove.

My .vimrc:

set nocompatible
set backspace=2
set noexpandtab copyindent preserveindent softtabstop=0 tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4
set ruler
colorscheme torte

Vim is what I mainly use out of habbit. It only requires typing vim as opposed to nvim.

Neovim's init file has this plus more stuff to turn off features like showmode, keybinding for nohlsearch, SQL autocomplete and space indentation for python. Maybe some of those annoying defaults are set up by one of the plugins. It's loaded with up with three plugins: lightline, vim-polyglot and vim-visual-multi which I forgot how to use and wonder why it was loaded in the first place. Polyglot is loaded because I needed syntax highlighting for some more exotic language like Crystal, D, Dart or TOML. Apart from that it uses the monokai-tasty colorscheme. So basically this is my setup. If I open anything in vim that doesn't have syntax highlighting and I find it annoying, I would just close the file and open it in nvim instead. I think Polyglot also helps with Racket.

I've also tried helix and kakoune but find the popup menus quite annoying. Also not being able to set the indent width in helix except on a language basis is a total turn off.

I’m sure it’s widely known among readers of this thread, and I can’t vouch whatsoever for its veracity, but god damn is “Masters of Doom” a fun read.
This is not how language works. The phrase "open source" will mean what people think it means. An organization with a lot of credibility and mindshare can affect that meaningfully by maintaining and explaining the official definition from their perspective, but they can never be guaranteed success in convincing people that their definition is what those words will mean forever.
There's a higher friction to working with that isolated environment.

It's hard to take stuff out of a running container; and it's hard to access files/programs on the host from within the container.

There may be advantages to running inside a container; but it largely feels like when there are easier ways for quickly making programs available to the host (e.g. virtual environments, or asdf version manager), then most tools aim for that first.
It was mostly on purpose, that Blizzard games worked well in Wine. We even fixed a few things in our code from time to time that accidentally made Wine emulation hard.

Glad to see more work on pgvector but why test on such small datasets on a large memory machine? The big ann datasets have 1B points and are much more interesting/representative of current embedding use cases (eg from dual encoder models).

I’m also curious if there is a way to not store everything in memory for pgvector. Is that possible?

Lastly, what is the parallelism story? Is it just using a thread pool under the hood? OpenMP?

Understanding if pgvector plans to support point insertions and deletions is also important in practice.
The difference is whether those ads were exposed to you before you bought it. Was it a factor in your decision?

Not whether it's something in the world that's ever been marketed at all, because literally everything has.
Just don't sign CLAs. Then the company needs to ask you if you are ok with the license change.

I loved everything about Wipeout, except the racing. The controls where impossible and the difficulty ridiculous.

But the music, the art style, the concept and attitude of that game was awesome. I spent many hours playing it on PSX as an early teenager.
But you need to know in advance which keys/paths you want to index.

Postgres can index the entire JSON document (or parts of it) and they can support unknown query condition (e.g. using a JSON path). This isn't as fast as a proper B-Tree index, but still faster than a full table scan.

This is the first time I hear of BSL. So here's my problems with it (and the article).

1. The article doesn't link to the actual text of the BSL in use. Link it please!

2. In my understanding, all BSL 1.1 are different, and differ by 2 factors: Additional Use Grant and Change Date. Those are both reasonable ideas but I wish they went a step further and the license would be formatted like Creative Comons. That one also provides versions that differ from use to use but you can instantly tell from the title which version is applied. I wish there was an official "BSL 1.1 4year non-compete" name for this with a good general definition of "non-compete" (and a few other common commercial uses to be granted).

What are the plans for the Meshastic mesh? I think having one hooked up to a server to do responses could be interesting. Or have you actually convinced other people to carry one around for messages?
I was quite skeptical up until now. But this article includes legitimate reasons Android has different API needs, like the absence of reliable long-lived processes. If they actually finish and release this then I'll be convinced they had a good reason to need to iterate on the API design in a semi-closed beta.
That’s why they called it the Pentium and not the 586: on the bench it kept coming out at 585.9999999. I’m sorry.

To pay my way for the silliness: I will highly recommend “The Pentium Chronicles” for a view into that time and place.

It covers the development of the P6 arch, but there is some inside baseball about the P5. And it’s just one of the best books I’ve ever read about really amazingly well-run engineering efforts.

VQL is much closer to Q2, whereas PQL is more CPMA or Quakeworld.

I loved SUSE for a long time, but their future plans for Leap had me looking elsewhere. They want to make the next Leap microOS bases, so a transactional immutable base. No thanks I don't need that. Moreover they want to kill yast for some web based stuff with way less feature.
Air travel looks like the last thing we are going to make climate friendly.

If a global hydrogen economy replaced the current fossil fuel-based energy system and exhibited a leakage rate of 1%, then it would produce a climate impact of 0.6% of the current fossil fuel based system.[1]

Also we haven't figured out how to make green hydrogen at scale.

As a male who was wrongfully accused of sexual assault by a covert narcissist, and basically expelled from communities I've been part of for all my life, I find it hard to see this as merely a "culture war". I used to instantly side with the "victim", because I couldn't imagine that someone would invent claims in such a sick and cruel way.

I am not saying that this happens often, there's just no way to know. And maybe it's still better to "play it safe". It's hard, but I've personally grown to accept that I have to live with "being the perpetrator" in the eyes of most. I lost most of my what I considered to be my friends, and my professional career. But the few remaining ones who believe me I now know I can fully trust.

I agree with you, but I think you're talking about welfare cliffs, not means testing.

Well designed subsidies for the poor don't have sharp monetary drop offs like these [1].

Ideally it would be something like for every extra dollar you earn, you get 10 cents less benefit. That way if you get up $1,000 raise, your subsidies go down by a hundred bucks, but you're still up $900 total. There should be no magic number where if you make $1 more you lose a huge benefit.

nobody should lose $500 of food stamps because they picked up a shift and earned and extra $100. that doesn't mean every single American needs food stamps. If you make $150k, you dont need food stamps, and the government shouldnt be giving them to you.

Ever since I've learned that cold solar panels are more efficient, I've dreamed about water-cooled PV that uses the heat for warm water supply.

One thing I'm worried about in such an integrated solution is water leakage. It looks like you'll need quite a few of these elements to form your roof, and there's got to be a joint between each pair of elements, and each joint has the potential for leaks, for example due to thermal expansion and contraction.

With traditional roof shingles (at least as they are done in central Europe), the tiles overlap, so that you don't need a perfect fit, and when the tiles expand at higher temperatures, the overlap still keeps water out. Doesn't seem like that simple mechanism could work if water flows through the solar tiles.

You can never get perfect isolation from lightning (a direct hit will almost certainly take something out) but you can do worse than making sure you have an excellent grounding rod setup and a whole-home surge protector, which you monitor.

And then you can put surge equipment on any other incoming wires.
Honestly, I've been pretty disappointed with HashiStack for a while. It always seemed like they didn't really take any minor contributions unless requested from a customer (i've been waiting for terraform to support a 2-3 year old vault PKI keys for a while). They also dark patterned their website recently to make download links and documentation hard to find.

I've seen one quote when we wanted to buy Vault Enterprise for peace of mind (we did not need namespaces), and well, it was completely out of reach. Moon prices. No wonder people turn to someone else hosting these products for them.
