It is an old house but it's less than 2,000 sq. ft. which is not small but certainly not McMansion size. $4K/year property taxes, >$1K/year insurance. Plowing (though that's fairly cheap because my neighbor who shares use of my long driveway does it). I do a lot of little routine stuff but did have a bunch of new windows about 5 years back and a bathroom needed to be redone at about the same time. Have to pay for trash collection. Have had some major projects over the years that were necessary like a new roof. Need a couple new appliances and associated work at the moment.

So, yeah, even owning my house outright, it probably costs a good $1,000/month to pay regular bills and keep it in a reasonably stable state.
The problem is that armed drones only work if you have time to deploy them.

Security guards will react faster than armed drones and will be more resilient to problems.

I do dislike that the order changes, even though it is consistent in terms of the 'path', because it means everyone groups by keyword, which then puts paths out of order/same ones separate anyway.
I wanted to only draw from the "good articles" category, but it's not easy to get from the API, unfortunately, so I kept a random draw from all articles.

What is trying to be funny?
I have a unique profile directory for each project -- in both Chrome and Firefox. I use a python script to wrap it -- so when I click links in a non-browser context that will launch the python wrapper, which prompts for the browser/profile combination. It's a extra click on launch -- and each profile needs to get configured (add uBO, etc). But I've got full isolation on those things.

I have had to provide material support to both of my parents, one of whom died suddenly, the other who is still around and resents my success while I provide almost all of their support. I provide the support because it's the "right" thing to do, but I fault no one who tells a parent to pound sand because they fucked up their life. How terrible of a person one must be to have children and then expect them to provide for them. You owe your parents nothing, it was their choice to have you, and their life to live. Maybe support social safety nets instead of pushing your terrible choices directly onto your children.
Certainly some of the behavior I am complaining about is the intended behavior (ads in menus etc), but yes explorer takes several seconds to initialize for me, after the window appears. Not an exaggeration.

Yeah, you have definitely been out of the loop. I’ve used at least 5 different dishwashers in the past 20 years, and never had a problem with them actually washing dishes after just scraping off the food. Once in a while I’ll have an issue with something stuck on a utensil that was nested with another in the silverware bin, but that’s a loading problem not a dishwasher defect.

I’m not up on my New Spain history, but it was always my impression that imperial Spain was an extractive economy that grew wealthy by acquiring and selling resources, not from technological or cultural innovation.

That seems entirely different from American (US) history to me, which while also host to a ton of resources, utilized them for productive ends. A whole lot of technological and political innovation happened in the US, especially by the mid-late 1800s. I don’t think there was a similar phenomenon in the Spanish empire?

Have you tried opening some files over the network, then coming back to the explorer? It'll insist on showing those files in the Recents screen. Except it actually tries to touch them or something. Which, when I'm not at work anymore, takes forever waiting for a timeout. Hell, even at work it sometimes takes a while, while doing the AD handshake or whatever it is that it does instead of letting me use the freaking explorer.

I don't use Windows often enough to go out of my way to customize it, plus I know that the next update will probably undo everything anyway, but now I have to wait around multiple seconds for it to realize the files are not there. And it won't even remember it from one instance of explorer to the next, or try to check on those files without blocking the entire app's UI.

This shitshow also happens in the open / save as dialogs when called from other apps.
Which category is supposed to relate to their previous reports? They used to have 4 languages (C, C++, C#, Java) between 50 and 99, now there are none. It appears their algorithm has changed. They mention change in the article but all the change appears to have happened in the past two years. They describe Trending as zeitgeist but what does that mean?
Regulation and taxes have since become bad words politically, mostly from a concerted effort among conservative media. The lobbyists help as well :). Inertia is keeping older utilities in check, but it should be pointed out that the Business Roundtable lobbyist group specifically requested Trump to deregulate the clean water act (which he signed some executive orders about), so the lobbying efforts & preventing regulation isn't limited to big tech...

Elizabeth Warren & Lindsey Graham recently talked about introducing some regulation around big tech, so do look into who supports or opposes this effort.
So many works are labeled [] or nan.
Energy is a factor for sure ( most of the article goes into why), and also environmental.

This is just my personal opinion, but I think YAML is more intuitive but has a lot more footguns and gotchas, while TOML is more consistent but less obvious (ironically, given the name.)

This may contribute to YAML's popularity in CI systems, because CI systems often need to be adjusted by someone who isn't super familiar with the syntax, and YAML is easier to intuit than TOML.
I feel like before retirement, in the US, many people’s concern should be having enough savings for their 50 to 65 years.

No Medicare, so you still need to buy insurance and pay for out of pocket maximums, and you are less and less employable for jobs that offer decent subsidized health insurance. Also, unless you qualify for significant ACA subsidies, premiums are going to be more than $1k per month per person.

And at the same time, most people will be getting their Type 2 Diabetes/Hypertension/Thyroid/etc diagnosis so their chronic medicines start.

If a married couple can both cross the age 65 line before hitting a big healthcare event, then they will probably be OK, but that is far from a guarantee.
Nvidia’s AI supremacy is only temporary
> Yet a large number of the people most experienced in creating thoroughly engineered solutions view LLMs very cynically because of the simple (and shallow) solutions that are being churned out.

Maybe, just maybe, because even simple solutions are invariably an incomplete brittle complicated unpredictable mess that you can't use to build anything complex with?

As eloquently demonstrated by your "simple" solutions
Yeah, odd. Can't retire before 50. Can't save more than 100k / yr, can't have more than 1M in savings. Pretty much excluded most of the FIRE community
Of all the people to get tagged in the MeToo, Garrison would not have been on my list of "that makes sense". But then I realized I knew nothing about the man, and just made that assumption based on his APHC character.
For sure, and up until the mid-to-late 80s RAM speeds were higher than processor speeds. So approaches to architecture were totally different.

Most minicomputer class processors were sewn together from multiple chips and transistors; even their register sets for the CPU were often not dissimilar from main memory. Texas Instrument's minicomputer (and later microcomputer) architecture even just put registers in RAM. In the microcomputer world, the 6502 got around having a very small register set by just having a 256-byte "zero page" with slightly faster cycle access than regular memory.

There was no need for complicated cache hierarchies. Relative cost of a context switch or interrupt or transition from user space to kernel etc. was way lower than now.

And the users of the system were by and large trusted. Security was more of a suggestion.
Yeah, I hope to "retire" at 50. Then find some part time job that's lower stress.
What I increasingly want to see is a language where a garbage collector is optional in the main executable, but not (directly) available to library code.

Because I want to have a language that I can use to write lean libraries that are available to any language with a C FFI, and that can be linked directly by AOT-compiled languages, without getting into a horrible quagmire of dueling heaps and copying. But I also want to have proper functional and asynchronous programming, and generally just to not have to manually fuss with memory in the higher-level code.

Python and C/C++/Rust/Cython/etc extensions kindasorta achieves this, and it's a huge factor in the language's ascendance in scientific computing applications. Game development has a long history of achieving a similar effect by embedding Lua or Lisp. But I think that it might be more pleasant to have it formalized and baked into a single language.
Developing opam-based OCaml projects with Nix Flakes
I’d love to see something like this for late 90s through mid 00s computers, because many of those machines can still find modern uses but are awkward to use with modern high-resolution displays, even if they can sometimes be adapted digitally (DVI-equipped machines). Of course you can always grab an old monitor to pair with said machine, but that comes with heavy picture quality concessions in the case of LCDs, and good CRT monitors are becoming rare and expensive.

So for example it’d be super cool to be able to drop a new GPU into a PowerMac G4 tower and allow it to drive a modern 2560x1440 display under both OS 9 and OS X.
It's been done successfully for motorbikes (gogoro).

Nio has swapping stations for cars, but they take over 5 minutes for a swap.

Automakers are looking to make batteries a structural component (save weight), and want to make batteries lower-profile to avoid raising floor higher (otherwise seating position or headroom loses). So removable batteries are a trade-off.

OTOH higher-end BEVs can charge to 80% under 20 minutes.

So the speed difference is getting smaller, and probably it's easier and cheaper to just roll with charging.
But you care about friends? If yes, then don't forget that there has been a time when they were strangers too.

I don't imply you have to care about strangers, but there are tangible benefits to maintaining a balanced approach (and that, for introverts like us can mean doing more than we would if we just follow our guts).

After all even if you don't care about strangers, being on good terms with them, or even making the occasional friend will have a positive impact on literally everything else that you actually care for, be it your own well being, your projects, etc.
> UX was often pretty poor in the 90s too. There's some rose tinted glasses here.

Agreed. The thing that is new to me though is PMs and UX/UI designers pushing for things that are so obviously out of whack with what the actual users are asking for AND that it isn't being driven from external forces. Literally no one is asking for all this white space, it's coming from the team responsible for designing the app.
They weren’t blaming. They were attempting to neutrally describe their best understanding of the phenomena. Do what you will with the information.

But I understand your pain and frustration. I’ve had to carve my own path to find the healing I needed as well. It’s not easy. Good luck to you.
You can't put a value > 1000 in the boxes. So if you want to put more than $1M, you can't.
> Also, these days you can get a reasonably good comp and still be at a startup

Yes. Startups these days, at least as an engineer, are a great vehicle for barbell investing. The salary caps your downside (make sure it’s enough to support savings) and the equity offers balls-to-the-wall exposure to potential upside.

Non-startup corporate (BigTech is a part of this) instead offers the vibe of “Thank you for creating the next billion dollar product, here is a 20k bonus and a pizza party”
In EU we typically have separate waste bin for food leftovers that I expect would go to this garbage disposal in kitchen sink. So if you put the food leftovers to separate garbage bin, there's pretty much nothing that will end up in drain filter to be cleared. It's just different routine.
I think you also misread the response about the fatty foods. I don't feel it was related to fatty food in USA, it was more in a sense that if you shred fat leftovers, it will eventually clog some pipe down the line.
For sure. Also, should have invested heavily into fission power via any method necessary (state subsidies etc).
I'm not sure of the exact treaty, but every result on Google says that Japan is under the US nuclear umbrella.
> That presents just as many problems and dangers to fellow soldiers as someone with a lower IQ.

That's a big assumption, and I doubt it applies broadly: Many military jobs do not depend much on physical fitness: Drone pilot, mechanic, truck driver, radar operator. Front line service is only one small part.

Also, it omits the point that less-than-physically-fit can understand the risks, made their own decisions, and also improve their fitness.

Imagine drafting people with physical handicaps - that would be the equivalent of McNamara's horrible program.

In Haskell you can provide your own prelude, which uses unsafe functions without bounds checks by default.

So your solution is to rewrite the haskell standard library yourself?

With CPP or cabal tricks

I don't know what cabal tricks is supposed to mean here.
Count me in as someone who likes vintage hardware but modern displays. In my case it's old game consoles.

The drop in video quality with composite is real. This has less to do with the resolution, but more with the fact that hardware that upscales this to an HD or 4K panel needs to make an educated guess where pixels start and end, and gets it wrong.

It looks quite ugly practically and switching to something with crisp pixels is usually very worth it.

For old game consoles it's often enough to switch to RGB or Component and you don't have to go full digital. Composite (and RF) are quite bad.

This is not an audiophile type of distinction, it's very visible and obvious to almost anyone.
> C# is my main language.

Then the answer is F#.
OCaml has everything except the big ecosystem. Haskell has a way bigger Ecosystem than OCaml, but is still not comparable to Rust.

Phosphates keep the dishwasher clean for much longer. I just add the phosphates back to my powder. So much simpler and the environmental concerns have proven to be total bullshit. Phosphates can be managed at the waste water treatment facilities. Unless you are washing dishes in a river, the regulation should happen at the discharge point.
What are you using for iPhone?
There was a time before Pentium when hardware was not named with trade name but by standard it implements. For instance you had your 486 with VGA, were it Cyrix CPU with Trident graphics card or Intel CPU with S3 graphics card didn't matter much.

For consumers only sound expansions broke this mold because they came with cool names such as Sound Blaster, Gravis Ultrasound, etc. They carried that over from audio market where equipment had "cool" names for some time already (since 70s at least).

Interestingly, Intel made "Pentium" trademark to distance and distinguish themselves from other x86 CPU vendors, but Creative failed to protect Sound Blaster trademark in a way that in mid90s everyone called every OPL3 card "a sound blaster". In that age real Sound Blasters had quality synthesizer, big wavetable with a quality soundfont and a DSP for effects on top of it, a feature which became less and less relevant as 90s went by. In mid 90s games were already moving to MIDI+CD Audio combination and by late 90s MIDI based soundtracks were largely gone. When you were playing Duke for the first time the type of "sound blaster" you had and hardware around it mattered. A clone would render worse MIDI than real Creative hardware and then came the external hardware such as Roland SC series, etc. The differences were real. When you were playing Half Life or UT for the first time just a few years after, there was no difference.

So Creative never managed to actually stamp "Sound Blaster" with something particular. It always remained a synonym for the entire standard and something even cheap hardware was described by. "Sound Blaster Audigy" was mostly reffered to as Audigy or Creative Audigy and it didn't have an ubiquitous meaning because it was clearly separated from all the junk audio cards of the day.
What? Are you saying that a potential attacker would preemptively nuke Japan before tensions escalate if Japan started developing nukes? Because if so, what ridiculous world do you live in? That'd be like Russia flat out nuking Ukraine last year instead of bothering with an invasion.
I don't have the time to dig around for examples but reading IRC logs (which I mention in another comment) is really ... interesting. I haven't read them in years but I remember the vitriol toward Muslims being absolutely astonishing. But it was ye olde 2000s..
> But, can you tell in which version object of "module" type gained all the attributes of their alleged superclass -- "object"? How many facts like this one do you think exist?

None of those things matter to a beginner, what's important is minimizing friction, so they can actually learn programming without having their curiosity rewarded with a flood of compiler errors. Python is fantastic in that regard. No need to define a main function, no need to care about signed/unsigned int, printing out the contents of an array or dictinary directly is a single statement that won't just output a heap address, etc.

And when they learn about more advanced stuff they will understand why many languages do things differently, and Python will still be very useful for small scripts and prototypes.
Can I just tell Google what I like and then they serve me ads for those things only? Because the current scheme seems like a whole lot of unnecessary subterfuge just to reliably serve me ads I will never click on. Wouldn't they rather have a shot in hell of serving me an ad I might actually click, while also not turning themselves into the poster boys for online privacy violations?
I don't know what your job/jobs/current culture/past cultures have been like. Obviously every job will have some problems but... being unhappy 40 hours a week+ and then thinking about your job on/off when you step away/not being able to disconnect seems like an "inefficient" way to use your "precious 20s-30s-40s-50s", especially if you could operate at a lower-stress level (less politics, less people being mean/rude, etc.)

But... it's just a cruel side effect of needing to afford to live, right? Plain and simple?
Efficient and mild: Recycling of used lithium-ion batteries
This is the sort of solution a space alien, or a human somehow entirely unfamiliar with the details of automobiles and driving, would come up with if you described the concepts of driving, electric cars, recharging, vehicle range, trailers, and generators to them. It wouldn't even occur to the alien to question issues of safety, ease of use, efficiency or practicality.

It's true that a "mandate" would be required, since literally no one would want this.
One of the best moments in car talk was when Astronaut John Grunsfeld called in to complain about how his government vehicle, a 'Rockewell van kind of thing' was running. Ray and Tom finally caught on when Grunsfeld admitted he was going 17K MPH while a couple hundred miles north of Hawaii. ;)

The banter between them included memories of an unpaid bill and references to the 'small technical institute' nearby ("Oh, that place!").

Great stuff all around.
