There's a lack of good PDF editing in general.

Adobes OCR can't handle a simple black-white tax document. To say nothing of OCRing scans. God help you if one text field wasn't recognized, because you sure as hell can't add the missing field.

And handy functions like "combine two PDF pages into one" (for example, combining front and back scan of something) are always easier to do by Googling than by using any software, even when you pay for it.

I think there are, when I was lifting heavy my muscles would start to have a softer feeling to them if i was a way for a bit. Away from exercise now, Ill start to feel a little bloated and fat. maybe feeling fat is in my head.

People who arrive by HST should also be able to rent a car or use taxis/rideshare.

Assuming ticket prices are similar to Amtrak Acela prices or current non-HST Amtrak Texas prices it will be a little faster than flying for about 1/3 the cost. It will be almost 3x as fast as driving for a bit more than the fuel cost for the drive.

If there are enough people who want to travel between those two cities to do the kind of things that people fly to those cities for, then it should be viable and successful.
Having python as a first programming language isn't a big disadvantage. The core elements of program optimization are still there: making sure you don't accidentally write O(n2) code etc. even if the memory management is opaque, you end up with an idea of values vs references, stacks and heaps just from some surprising edge cases in the language.
I would generally agree with you, except that "to each his own" generally is leading to a very unhealthy society and the destruction of the ecosystem as well through endless economic growth.
Rather than naps, I can personally recommend yoga nidra, AKA non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) meditation. There's no effort involved. You just lie down and listen to an audio track. Lots of tracks available on YouTube and Spotify. With yoga nidra, you stay awake and get just as recharged from a good nap but without the risk of waking up groggy. It's a game changer.

It's still a Google product that does Google things. If you hate Google things, making an exception for YouTube is saying your standards have a price tag attached.
Author here! When CoffeeScript 2 got released about 6 years ago, me and a few others went all into it, because huge effort went into supporting ES6 features in the compiler.

Still, TypeScript appeared 1 year after and took over everything.

I had to use both heavily, and I am 3x slower and more verbose in TS than CS. But hobby dev is not what guides adoption.

It's what gets used inside companies that decides this, and companies prefer slow but stricter languages, that help devs collaborate.
Not languages that allow super fast development but results into hard to revisit code.
Ehh, I think this is also a bad take.

ChatGPT is a great bullshit generator, and in working in corporate jobs will need a lot of bullish.

I usually have already an answer or something that must be done and say to ChatGPT, write this, but in a more professional tone or with more buzzwords. ChatGPT is amazing in creating verbose output that sound professional and entrepris-y.

When I have a yes/no answer but need 3 paragraphs for some bullshit reason, ChatGPT always deliver great results. I am very satisfied with ChatGPT and recommend it for all your bullshit needs.

In fact, let's try it now:
"ChatGPT demonstrates exceptional proficiency in generating elaborate discourse, particularly advantageous in contexts demanding nuanced communication. In the realm of corporate environments, effective articulation is often bolstered by a certain degree of strategic language.

Frequently, I find myself in situations necessitating succinct and polished content, and I consistently leverage ChatGPT to achieve this objective. This platform excels in producing comprehensive textual outputs that exude professionalism and sophistication, aligning seamlessly with the requisites of business communication.

Moreover, when confronted with queries warranting a concise response, yet necessitating a more extensive explanation, ChatGPT consistently produces outcomes that align with the complexities of such demands. This reliable capacity has considerably enhanced my operational efficiency and overall content quality.

In light of these observations, I express my utmost satisfaction with the capabilities of ChatGPT. Its aptitude for generating refined discourse is commendable and I confidently recommend it to address various professional communication requirements."

See? IT IS AMAZING!!!
Thanks to the ongoing enshittification of big tech, it's basically pissing into an ocean of piss out there, and all these takes are all relative against a terribly odious baseline of dark patterns, customer-hostile data hovering and general cheapness.

My point is... Is the observation in TFA because Microsoft is becoming more trustworthy or because Google is becoming shittier? Anyone who has had the displeasure of installing (let alone actually using) Windows 11 should know the answer.

Does it not generate any network traffic at all - zero - even when there is internet connectivity available? Whether to the home domain or otherwise? Even telemetry?

From my personal and limited view I agree. But to be honest, I don't trust neither, at all, probably forever. MS actively destroyed 1 decent thing I liked about them, their OS.

First they tried to make it better and actually succeeded over the years (anybody who went from Windows 95/98 into 2000/XP and realized MS can actually make stable usable modern OS would probably agree, 7 was their best OS for me). And then they went with telemetry on product that really shouldn't have any, in same vein BIOS or drivers shouldn't have any. And despite overall feedback they doubled down with it in 11. No sympathy nor morality there.
That is a great insight, thanks. I have always been under the impression that non-GC performance is strictly better under all circumstances, but your example is an obvious counterpoint.
Indeed, nobody would write this code to get the result shown— weird code is usually an accident, and errors informing you about accidents are way more useful than delivering some weird counterintuitive result just to avoid runtime errors.

That's not allowed on the app store (Apple will reject apps that abuse this without a legitimate reason, and a terminal app has no business playing background audio or abusing location services). Also, the audio background mode is particularly bad for user experience, as it does not allow you to play real audio, because in toyOS land, only one process can play audio. Yes, this is the state of iOS in 2023. Garbage.
> I would have preferred if the scan was also performed when in sleep (I mean by wake up the system silently)

Bad, bad idea. It's really bad if the system decides to wake up for any reason on its own - my AirPods used to be really bad for a while, despite setting them to "connect with last device" they'd connect to my work MacBook spontaneously instead of my tablet, wake up the laptop, something would prevent it from going back to sleep and since it was stored in my bag it would heat up until the overtemperature safety shutoff and drain the battery in the process.
I'm worried about python being assumed to be the same as every language than every CPU.

It's well-known that both asbestos and wood dust (especially hardwood dust) are carcinogens, but (for example) mesothelioma is very bad and does not require heavy, prolonged exposure — brief and/or low-level exposure has been shown to cause it too. Additionally, inhaled asbestos fibers can remain in the lungs and pleural lining for decades. In contrast, the human body can expel wood dust over time.
I was expecting something along the lines of pdf.js or something. WebAssembly was a shock, but I looked at the asm, saw golang, decompiled back to go and looked. all good. still... all it takes is an errant http.client call.
I'd like to take this paid option, but for some reason the official YouTube app on my Google Pixel is broken - the screen overlay never goes away, I can't see comments on videos, and trying to go to a channel takes me to "An error occurred RETRY" screen.

Unfortunately, I don't think Google does any kind of support for their YouTube app on their phones. Casual googling brought me to some forum posts that didn't seem helpful, and I've heard too many horror stories about Google support to put much effort into this route.

Quite unfortunate. Other options (NewPipe, Firefox Android + uBlock Origin) have their own problems. I might try to turn channels into podcasts and listen to them from my podcast player. Maybe that'll work.
A component of my work is phishing and security awareness training. Training is important, but a well crafted attack is unlikely to be defended against by your median human. It only takes once to not inspect headers or DMARC indicators if the message is questionable. You need technical controls to do a lot of the lifting (secure authenticators negating credential exfiltration, aggressive malware detection, etc). We need better tools to detect and quarantine code transiting email that should not be executing. This is interestingly a similar problem to what providers of function running systems (lambdas and low/no code SaaS) face when executing arbitrary code as part of customer requests (sandbox, security observability and boundaries, etc).
> a friend who teaches CS for a major university explained that they're going to teach Python as first language for Computer Science undergraduates starting 2024

I think this is significantly more common than you think it is.

Also python has an extremely rich type system, can be completely duck typed as well, and does effectively everything you would need to know about in a CS degree, at least in the first semester or two, other than manual memory management. Which is significantly easier when you have a firm grasp of other aspects of programming.

There are multiple approaches to teaching, starting with python and then moving lower down later isn't necessary a bad move. Who says starting with assembly/C and moving up is a good move?

> While airports do scale their capital costs somewhat differently (better?),

Uh, yeah:

- 1 airport == unlimited direct routes
(limited only by the airport's runways)
- 1 airport == unlimited indirect routes

vs

- 1 rail line == 1 direct route
- 1 rail line == small number of ind. routes

It's really obvious.

> Here's Dallas' 5 billion dollar airport expansion plan

$5bn buys a few miles of conventional train tracks. Bullet train tracks cost more. $5bn is nothing for trains.

$5bn buys a bunch of gates and/or a runway+ at an airport, which can greatly increase capacity.

And these $bns are $bns of other people's money if we're talking about trains because they'll never turn a profit. I don't think trains have been profitable ever in the U.S., at least not since the 1880s. Air travel is often profitable for all involved (or can be).
In the sense that it's primarily startups, YCombinator's workatastartup and Wellfound's job board are similar to the "Who is hiring?" threads, so you might have more success with those in terms of replies. Though as someone applying for 2024 New Grad positions neither seem particularly great for that, unfortunately.
Honestly, after reading his complaint (https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.mad.259...), I'm not at all sympathetic. He got acquihired into a senior role after 10 years as CEO of his startup, ended up overseeing another team's real-time efforts, and by his own account went absolutely nuclear when they didn't agree with him about what "real-time" meant. If he made any efforts whatsoever to resolve the disagreement before going around and complaining to other executives about his team, he doesn't mention it.

This sounds very much to me like a story of a power-tripping ex-CEO whose technical knowledge is not as strong as he'd like to think.

Yeah, that’s terrible behavior for such a critical function like parseInt. JS apologists can legitimately protest some of these examples as being highly unrealistic or just normal type coercion/floating point behavior, but this one here is an unforgivable bug factory.
To be fair you weren't using it in good faith and were attempting to lead it into a trap.

Human wants are infinite in expression as well as desire. People really do want to breed; what's it going to be then? Infinite resources on 1 child or finite resources on an infinite number of children?

The same with the most desirable place to live? Is it an infinitely desirable spot or an infinite amount of space?

In any case unlimited wants in a finite system will always create compromises; especially if there are multiple actors.
Most are not quircks of implicit type conversion, they happen because of the "no errors, at any cost" phylosophy of the language.

The last time I was looking for a job I did just that. I came up with a list of five companies that either came well-recommended by friends-of-friends, or seemed like they were doing interesting work.

I applied to three of them, interviewed with two, and accepted an offer. Had those initial three companies not worked out I'd have gone down my list of two more companies, before starting the process again with another small list.

(I've not the patience for juggling many applications at the same time. I've learned I can apply to two-three companies and keep all the names, details, and things I've said to them straight in my head. I guess if you're desperate for _any_ job then applying for more all at once would probably be a safer approach.)
All of these companies are obviously totally untrustworthy and anyone trying to convince you otherwise is either incredibly naive, stupid or has an ulterior motive.
It's valuable to Microsoft, but why would anybody else want to pay for data about the usage of a Microsoft product?

Been looking since about February. I've probably sent out at least a hundred apps for positions I was interested in and met qualifications for.

I think I've made it to a recruiter screen around ~10 times, and I've had less than 5 actual interviews follow.

Which party prioritizes hurting people?
I would definitely prefer good cubicles over open assigned desks. (I mean, with open desks or cubicles, I would ask the other person to stop slurping loudly.)

But "good" is the key there. I worked at an office in 2001 which had a cubicle system that was probably only a year or two old. The desks were wood (probably veneer) with nice big keyboard shelves, as was the style at the time. The panels were either grey metal or red fabric, and they stepped up and down so that beside your close coworker there might be only a 4' wall, and then a 6' wall to the "hallway".

Immediately after that, through an acquisition, we were in an office whose cubicles were probably from the 80s, and they were all 6' well-worn beige fabric panels, which despite being private and relatively quiet were just so ugly and energy-draining.

Github wasn't abused to train LLMs. Whatever website existed that openly hosted OSS repositories would have been scrapped if it had such a large number of repos. You don't need to be Microsoft to train on github.
This can also be extended to:

1. Go on LinkedIn and find past co-workers and friends. Make a list of those people.

2. Prioritize based on companies you want to work for and people who had a good experience with you

3. Reach out to them with a generic opening like "How are things going?"
