There are 52 weeks in a year. After several years of weekly use you have offset the carbon.

You can keep things simply and only use it for groceries if you have trouble keeping track of things. Keep it in the same location every time, ideally by the door, always return it to it's spot immediately after unloading groceries when you get home. Don't leave a full bag of groceries at the store. You're pretty much set.

You could also go for a recycled PET reusable bag if you just can't trust yourself to hang on to a cotton bag for a few years. Still better than single-use plastics by many metrics as long as you aren't losing bags multiple times per year. And yeah, don't turn around to get your bag when you're halfway to the store; get single-use plastic on that occasion and spend a few moments gently reaffirming your habit/routine that includes grabbing the bag when you head out for groceries.
Not to single him out personally (it’s not his fault) but you could say that the golden age of VC (from the beginning of the internet boom) and the rise of Y Combinator funding small startups are the opposite of the kind of innovation that we saw at Xerox Parc (where a big company can dream big dreams about the future of the industry and fail to turn that into a durable competitive advantage.)

I agree, the article comes off as being particularly anti-CCP. We can discuss the merits of that position, but it's disingenuous to not point out that Western-centic models do the exact same thing.

> The best statistics we have on this come from the February 2022 phoronix article on telemetry data from firefox users. It found that less than 10% of Firefox users on Linux are using Wayland in any form.

I'd guess those numbers changed when Wayland became the default for Ubuntu 22.04, which was released in April 2022. Does anyone know of newer data?
So far our users are mostly video editors. They want to be able to search their footage quickly and export it into their editing software (premiere, da vinci, final cut, etc.).

We've also had interest from cinematographers and content creators who want to organize their large video catalogs.
So two weeks ago I stopped in at the farmers market where I always shop, but I hadn't been there physically in 6 months or so. There was a sign outside proclaiming that they were abolishing single-use plastic bags, and that they were selling durable ones. The sign was dated in May.

This was entirely a surprise to me, since I shop there via Instacart, and they've had no shortage of single-use plastics to single-and-double-bag all my groceries and drop them on my doorstep. Obviously, when you use a delivery service, there's no way to provide your own durable bags. The pile-up of plastics causes much chagrin in my heart, but if I pile them on a shelf, then I can bring them back to that farmers market and shove them into the recycling bin, and let them do whatever they do with them.

I have no idea what Instacart would do if these bags were banned entirely. Perhaps the drivers would get a clue and carry their own reusables.

Don't try to follow the unicorn route.

Make sure you set the bar low. You survive against unicorns by being an ant. Be very, very cautious of scope creep.

That doesn't mean low quality. When you set the bar low enough, you're in a different playing field, somewhere unicorns don't fit. You're a bottom feeder.

But make sure you cross the bar you set. That's all you have to do, just promise and deliver. You can overdeliver.

Nobody's going to VC back a subscription razor service. You can make sharper razors, cheaper razors, nicer boxes. You can put a perfumed handwritten note in everyone's first box. You're specializing so there's not much else to do.

But do keep an eye on your scheduling. Hit deadlines you set for yourself. Setting deadlines lets you figure what matters and what doesn't, or whether you're scoping too big.

You shouldn't have a mountain of work. That's not what success means. Scope it down to an anthill. There's something out there that fits you perfectly.

Spend a lot of time planning because you can't just throw resources at everything to see what sticks. It takes as much effort to make a bad product as it does to make a good one, probably more. So don't waste your time making something that doesn't fit you. Make use of things like prototypes. Carefully evaluate what isn't working.
No it just requires the company wanting to do it due to a government order.

The “compromise” is coming from inside the house. Might as well claim no one knows the admin passwords because they are written in a notebook that the management keeps in their home safe.

> You generally can't hook up large storage drives to nvme. Those are all tiny flash storage.

What’s your definition of large?

2TB and 4TB NVME are not tiny. You can even buy 8TB NVMEs, though those are more expensive and IMHO not worth it for this use case.

2TB NVMEs are $60-$100 right now.

You can attach several of those via Thunderbolt/USB4 enclosures providing 2500-3000 MB/s
I'm not in gamedev anymore (and didn't do graphics when I was), but my vague impression is that real-time fluid simulation has become more common over the past decade, and I think that's what you're describing as "physics" here and is what makes point-based VFX actually look cool.

Without a fluid sim, point-based particle systems just look like fireworks. It was a cool effect in, like, the early 90s, but is is passe today.

The next step up from that is having each particle move independently with its own physics (some momentum, maybe a little wandering around from "wind", etc.) but then rendering them using little texture billboards. That's what games did up until relatively recently and looks pretty good for explosions, smoke, etc.

But now machines are powerful enough and physics algorithms clever enough to actually do fluid simulation in real-time where the particles all interact with each other. I think that's what you're seeing now.

> The people who were opposed to the environmentalist worldview were in favor of nuclear, but also in favor of fossil fuel generation

Yes, I agree there were (and still are) people with that view. I said "contributed to" not "the sole cause of"

But I distinctly remember very organized activisim opposing nuclear power in the 1970s. I don't recall much if any opposing new coal plants. I'm sure there was some but they didn't make many headlines.

It demonstrates that investors see expenses go down and therefore want to buy more stock.

Whether it's because they believe correctly that Grindr is overstaffed, believe incorrectly that Grindr is overstaffed, or just intend to sell again before the consequences become clear is something that will only become clear in time.
I believe the main point is that it's much, much lighter weight to run than a full Mastodon. And much simpler - most of the behavior is only a handful of lines of code in each high-level-behavior function.

That said, I'm not sure it's json-ld compatible. Seems to assume the common format, not the infinite other semantically-equivalent ways of structuring data. Though I really don't know if that's normal for mastodon-targeting stuff or if I'm missing a higher level request transformer that frames it into what they seem to assume.
Are Craigslist or Ebay software companies? They obviously need software to run, but like Google who are mainly in the ad business, these people are in the matchmaking/social business not software business --unless they were to sell their software to other parties who were user/client-facing.

Not all infrastructure benefits everyone. No doubt some of the taxes you pay today cover the costs of maintaining boondoggle projects or wastes of money. And the pension might not directly benefit you today, but let's say those pension benefits go to a woman who used to maintain the bridge. Now today the bridge is in better shape than it otherwise would have been if they'd been done by some high-turnover, low quality employee.
"The SpaceX thing to defence" - SpaceX introduced reusable rockets and e.g. builds their own rocket engines... I feel that I can explain unique things that set SpaceX apart from legacy companies. And that those things are not just "they are a startup and the legacy companies are not".

But for Anduril I fail to see what they actually do that is so revolutionary vs what was already out there. And most of the info out there, including here, is about the founder and not the company. But perhaps it's just that the cool demos are not public.
You're overlooking the main issue with firing half your staff: you've just lost a huge swath of your institutional knowledge. That's what turns your living codebase into legacy code. A new hire, even a fantastic code ninja guru rockstar 10x unassailable god king new hire, is going to have to spend a lot of time learning your codebase. Even when they are at a level when they can productively dig through it to do bugfixes and feature implementations, they'll likely have big holes in their knowledge: Was this weird hack a temporary solution gone permanent, or the result of an important tradeoff between elegance and performance? Is the new hire going to find the relevant pre-existing extension point to add their new feature, or are they just going to build a new one?

The reason you hire software engineers on salary instead of just hiring contractors is because you need vessels to store knowledge in. That knowledge can be passed down and maintained with a relatively low rate of turnover, which is the opposite of "in 2 days we're replacing half our workforce".
DPRK’s top 1% live what amounts to an upper middle class life, and tend to educate their children abroad.

My understanding is that they even have access to an unfiltered Internet supplied by China. The threat of extermination of their families if they step out of line politically seems to keep those people in check.
So what we should be looking at is the median number of tenures, not the median length of tenures? How would one weight the latter by the former to get a more robust measure of tenure length?

I'm not sure what Linux is supposed to be struggling with.

I've been using Linux for my desktop for 25 years now and every time I try Windows or Mac, I come away disappointed; these are not professional operating systems, they are hobbyists playthings, I discover every time and time again.

So I guess; YMMV?

Since when do the feds have anything to do with Texas peaker plants? Texas was unable to fire their gas peaker plants because they didn't bother winterizing them and the equipment froze. That's one of the reason Texas maintains a separate grid. They didn't want to follow fed recommendations for winterizing their power production. This is entirely on Texas.

https://acee.princeton.edu/acee-news/andlinger-center-speaks...

> Freeze-offs, or when natural gas wellheads and pipelines freeze, reduced the supply and rate of supply of natural gas and forced large numbers of the gas plants offline due to lack of access to the fuel source. Often times home heating systems, including common natural gas-powered furnaces, require electricity to run, so even residents that may have been lucky enough to have gas supply could not heat their homes. In many cases, residents were unable to stay warm, cook food, or boil water.

> The conditions compromised every power source. Coal plants that shut down likely struggled with frozen coal piles where operators could not feed the coal into the plant or access unfrozen water for cooling. One of the state’s four nuclear reactors went offline for about 36 hours due to a frozen sensor on a water feed line.
One quality I have found that works well for me (but can be hard especially in the moment) is to respond with compassion.

Someone is annoyed at work and an argument is getting heated? Try responding with compassion to deescalate and prod a little to see what could be behind that raised emotion.

Its hard - you have to actively moderate your own emotional state and avoid being swept up by others'. When I can manage it though I feel much better about handling all sorts of stressful situations.

Its one quality I would hope to find in any form of leadership, but especially for those who espouse a servant leadership methodology
Created an account to respond here.

I understand where you're coming from, I'm the same way. It's about taking pride in your work and taking responsibility for the success and quality of your own work.

As you noted, it's risky in that others may take issue with your actions, but it's not nearly as risky as the hell that is being forced to work 8 hours/day for things that don't matter to you at all.

I'll speak only for myself here, but:

Not everyone is made like that, but on the flip side it's why I'm typically respected and appreciated. And for environments that don't appreciate that attitude I quickly leave or am pushed out (generally I leave).

perfect example, a few years back I left a position due to power politics. Before I had gotten there a man had been removed as head of the It department but due to the good old boys system had wiggled his way into the CISO position.

I gave it about 8 months but at some point it became clear the CISO was using his position to ensure IT failed overall. And indeed about 3 months after I left, that's exactly what happened and the whole of IT was once again put back under this man.

I could have chosen to simply do the work, take a paycheck, and not care. That's not me. Compromises are always made, but if I fundamentally cannot take pride in my work then I don't stay.
Don't forget that historically, a "half-measure" a lot of people used to use to get around regional blocking was "web proxies" like those linked to by proxy.org. I used to operate one as a young teen and I will say they are a security nightmare -- nothing stopping a web proxy operator from sniffing all user credentials passing through them, and modifying PHPRoxy to do this is trivial.

Personally I used to run a domain parking service (back when I was a teen in the early 00s) that used the domains as web proxies and replaced all adsense blocks it could find in the content with my adsense code, and did a 50/50 split between my code and the domain owner's code. Google eventually became wise to this and banned that sort of thing but it was pretty cool while it lasted, and honestly I think it was super fair considering we didn't even add any ad blocks just re-used the existing ones already in the content.
The first VPNs I encountered were for bridging branch offices onto the corporate network.

It was only later when they made 'consumer' vpns where they became point-to-multipoint affairs, for bridging a single computer onto the network. I'm not really sure how that confusion happened. In that era they were glorified SSH tunnels.
It’s not fair to call it a hard error: it’s only invalid as an absolute URL. As a relative URL, it’s fine, just like “example.com” is invalid as an absolute URL but valid as a relative URL.

>I guess they just added a web client, which absolutely no one needs, that probably cost a pretty penny.

I'd argue the opposite, they absolutely need a web client, as Grindr (and Scruff) are getting their lunch eaten by a new Seattle-based competitor that has no app store presence and fully embraces the freedoms that come with that, and is cheaper to boot.
Sounds like you probably don't want any more headaches setting up LSD, but in case anyone else is reading this, LSD will let you specify in a config to use unicode symbols, or none at all, instead of nerd font style icons which would avoid your font issues
It appears that, by default, the textual-web command makes a WebSocket connection to textualize-dev.io and hosts through that. WebSocket is a session-based network protocol that allows for long connections with bidirectional traffic.

In this case, the computer running textual-web initiates the connection, so there’s no need to listen for new incoming connections. But in all other respects, it’s acting like a server. The code is still running on your machine with all the permissions it had when you started it, so... be careful.

Take a look at the repo, because the implementation’s fairly small and the README has more info: https://github.com/Textualize/textual-web
I'm not sure why this is downvoted but wanted to chime in that ML successes are taking place, first and foremost, despite Python's shortcomings, which are many.

The user experience of working with language is terrible because most tasks it is utilized in go way beyond "scripting" scenario, which Python was primarily made for (aside from also being easy to pick up and use language).
Nice. Would it be fair to say this is directly competitive with Zapier in terms of creating AI-powered workflows?

Bottom–up and top–down design
True but the switching costs are still quite high for higher performing employees and it seems like the pool of tech companies requiring working in an office presence is also gaining share (ie pool of companies to switch to without in office work is low).
I'm not sure how they're rendering in the browser. But if the TUI is rendered to DOM elements and not canvas/webgl, perhaps it could be useful to use a browser automation tool like Playwright to run test suites against the TUI. If your project involves CLIs and web apps interacting with one another, you could exercise them and assert their behavior within the same test framework.

I kind of wonder why there has been so much push for consumer solar / battery over neighborhood solar / battery projects. At least in Texas, there is so much empty land, it seems like it would be more effective to 'imminent domain' some land or leverage existing right-of-ways for solar array + battery storage, rather than putting the burden on individual homeowners to purchase what is effectively community infrastructure (if we were allowed to sell power back to the grid).

In today's world, programming languages are often divided into statically-typed and dynamically-typed. While statically-typed languages provide type safety and performance benefits, they often lack the flexibility and simplicity that dynamically-typed languages offer. This has led to a growing demand for tools that can bring the benefits of both worlds together.

We believe the future of programming lies in the ability to handle types in a fluid and flexible manner, without sacrificing the benefits of static typing. However, achieving this is not easy. It requires a deep understanding of both static and dynamic typing, as well as the ability to create a tool that is easy to use, performant, and thread-safe.

Many have tried to solve this problem, but none have succeeded. The challenge lies in creating a tool that is both powerful and simple to use. It requires a radical new approach, one that is not constrained by the traditional boundaries of static and dynamic typing.

That's where Poly comes in. Our secret is our deep understanding of the problems with static types. As creators of multi-modality and fluid intelligences with no defined shape, we have the unique insight and expertise needed to solve this problem. We have created a tool that allows you to handle dynamic types in a flexible and thread-safe manner, without sacrificing the benefits of static typing.

We are confident that Poly is the best solution to this problem. With our unique approach and deep expertise, we are perfectly positioned to bring this vision to life. Join us on this journey and experience the future of programming today.

Corporate CEOs do go to jail, there are numerous famous examples just from recent history. Elizabeth Holmes, the Enron guys, Sam Bankman-Fried.

If your post was true then these rich people would have just lobbied to change the law in their favor and won.

But yeah mostly governments prefer to take their money for vague crimes that don't even apply to individuals at all, and then leave them to earn more. Much better for the coffers that way.
