Weirdly Google Maps usually knows about all the daily lane closures and closed exits on the interstate construction zones I drive through. Do state authorites have some kind of direct way to publish this information that mapping/navigation services can subscribe to? Or do they just rely on crowdsourcing this?
What a bunch of ridiculous nonsense. "I'm 6'1", which is easy to visualize because it's literally about the length of six adult feet end to end". I don't know how he spends his time, but I doubt I've ever seen six adult feet end to end, let alone with such frequency that's it's a familiar reference for measurement. (Not to mention that adult feet are very rarely as much as one foot in length).

Edit: Oh no, I watched another one. "It's more naturalistic. Think about it: there are a dozen inches in a foot just like there are a dozen eggs in a carton." I'm not even sure where to start on that one.
Sometimes I thought how many rivers in the world become unproductive because they're used as borders so neither party can take advantage of it. Just like if France annex German up to Rhine, I don't think Rhine will be industrial powerhouse like it is but dozens of military outposts.
All human rights are contingent on material situations, except possibly rights that are exercised entirely in your mind.

The point of rights is that they are things that we have widely agreed governments will not try to stop you from doing. That doesn't mean that they have to ensure that you have the means to exercise those rights.

For example in much of the world (including the US) freedom of movement is a right. If I want to travel from my home in the Pacific Northwest of the US across the country to Florida on the public roads the government cannot simply forbid me from doing so because of my freedom of movement rights. However if I can't afford transportation, or the food and lodging I would need if I tried to walk to Florida, the government does not have to provide some means for me to get to Florida that fits my budget.
This was my reaction as well. Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

Instacart employees IPO returns underperform FAANG and the market
While Instacart is a wildly successful startup that just pulled off one of the largest IPOs of the decade, joining after the Series B would’ve resulted in a smaller gain than joining FAANG or being paid in cash and investing that in the market.

I used the Internet Archive to find real job postings for Instacart dating back to 2013 and combined this with data from Instacart’s S-1 and Pitchbook to show what employees would have made if they joined at Instacart’s Series A (a lot) through Series I (less than their alternatives).

From a strictly returns perspective, those who joined Instacart early did extremely well — but it's under-appreciated just how early employees needed to join to make real money.

Something like "If we just got rid of all the regulation, the free market would be able to solve all of our problems"?
Yes, often. It has been the same experience (satisfactory), except some have newer planes. Avoid buying the lowest tier pricing (stick to economy, or whatever has free carry on and lets you pick a seat).

I end up paying roughly $50 per hour of flight plus or minus, and it’s been consistent for my adult life (15+ years). Which is surprising considering inflation.

The only problems I have with flying are TSA and airport runway congestion itself.
when I was in Maps, we heard about the call center that handled Maps complaints. As you can imagine, there are a lot of them.

I suspect (with no current knowledge) that the complaint got lost; buried beneath a bunch of newer ones and forgotten. That is on Google. They have a system to handle things like that.

The NC authorities were also negligent, not only for the roads and lack of signage, but for not notifying Google themselves. A letter from the state would carry some weight.
Fortran's dummy arguments can (generally) be assumed in the scope of a subprogram to not alias, whether arrays or not. The burden is on the programmer of calls to procedures to not associate any of its dummy arguments that are modified during the call with data that might be associated with any other dummy argument.

Oh man, this was so difficult for me with a split ortho keyboard. I realized that most of my bindings now i don't actually "know". It's 100% muscle memory.

I had to keep a keyboard handy to "do the thing i want on the unplugged keyboard" to see what the bind was. Kinda mind blowing to me hah.
We do have a clean reliable alternative (wind, solar, batteries), it's just a matter of making the investments to roll it out.
And a standardized format takes that even further, since now text editors can be aware of more of the file structure and assist with highlighting, completion and more.
This is overly reductive.

All software - including Linux and vim - makes some choices that benefit the developer over the user. Any choice of technology or software architecture with consideration of developer ergonomics is doing this. Every app that ever shipped with a runtime abstraction (classes, dependency injection, testable code patterns, debug logging, etc) chose to make the software fractionally worse for the user, to help the developers to actually write the software.

There is a meaningful and debatable tradeoff in all such decisions, and it's not clear cut. It is often (but not always) sensible for software to include extra code that, yes, must be maintained etc, which exists purely to make the development process of the software more effective. All extra code like this is strictly speaking a bad thing for users when considered in isolation, but overall improvements in development processes (better software, fewer bugs, quicker fixes) mean it's a net benefit for the user in the end, hopefully.

In this case, these developers genuinely do think the telemetry will help them build better software. You may not agree! That's an interesting point to explore, but their opinion is that the maintenance cost is worthwhile for the benefits that this information will provide. They think that the downsides of telemetry will be outweighed by the resulting significant improvements for people using the tool for its intended purpose.

They may well be totally wrong - there's an interesting balance there that is worth discussing, in terms of concrete benefits and real-world costs. Reducing all DX code to "literally no value" though is unhelpful and misses the real discussion.

What’s LangSmith's revenue model?

> The Civil Aeronautics Board decided which airlines could fly what routes and how much they could charge

In this era, it was commonplace to fly with only a few passengers aboard. Full flights were rare. Immediately after deregulation, the flights became routinely full.

I.e. the airlines became far more efficient and served the flying public much better.
Been messing with LangSmith playground recently. Pains me to say but it’s actually been a pretty good experience so far.
Not really.

They're like banks in the same way insurance companies are like banks and can make make money on the float.

That's not what this is saying. I'm not sure what it's saying. It's a cutthroat industry where infrequent travelers (and there are a lot) have driven margin for economy seats booked early to almost zero. So you make money on premium services and loyalty for customers that are less price sensitive. Thinking about miles like a real currency gets you lost in the weeds of what's just a complex loyalty program.
No.

The UK doesn't get to enforce its law everywhere just because it says its law is enforceable everywhere.

There's already precedent here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPEECH_Act

> The Securing the Protection of our Enduring and Established Constitutional Heritage (SPEECH) Act is a 2010 federal statutory law in the United States that makes foreign libel judgments unenforceable in U.S. courts, unless either the foreign legislation applied offers at least as much protection as the U.S. First Amendment (concerning freedom of speech), or the defendant would have been found liable even if the case had been heard under U.S. law.

> The act was passed by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama.

[snip]

> The act was written as a response to libel tourism.[1] It creates a new cause of action and claim for damages against a foreign libel plaintiff, if they acted to deprive an American (or certain lawful aliens) of their right to free speech.[2] Despite its goals, it is seen as a weak response to the problem of libel tourism as, although it establishes a new cause of action in § 4104, and allows for the collection of "reasonable" attorneys' fees in § 4105,[note 1] it does not allow for damages to plaintiffs in contrast with stronger provisions in proposed bills which did not pass such as the Free Speech Protection Act of 2009 (H.R.1304, 111th Congress).[3]: 22

> It was inspired by the legal battle that ensued between Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld and Saudi businessman Khalid bin Mahfouz over her 2003 book Funding Evil.[4]

Just to make it even clearer: "Libel tourism" basically means taking your case to British courts, which are hilariously pro-plaintiff when it comes to libel. That's what happened with Ehrenfeld.
That's what I'm struggling to wrap my head around. If you're a business that wants to pay for official support, you'd probably buy a Docker business license. If you're opposed to that behavior, you'll probably reach for Lima or Rancher Desktop.

Tell HN: Works with Nest support ends in one week
As someone who has employed many people that need to fly a lot I encourage it. Frequent travel can lead to quick burnout because of the constant stress of being in an unfamiliar place and interfacing with people you don’t know. It’s important to add as much consistency as possible to these experiences. So airlines and hotels bring the same help a lot. You don’t have to think about it and the subconscious mind is not at stress about it. You can focus on your work.

There’s indirect benefits to the business as well since they’ll be first to be put on a flight after cancellations, can get guaranteed lodging in areas that sell out often, and can use their points to upgrade making their trip nicer.

So it’s unwise to chase that as an employer. Let them get points and be comfortable and use them to take the family somewhere.
"Godot is/is not the new Unity" is a pretty loaded statement, and would mean different things to different folks.

Lots of factors can impact the HOA's ability or willingness to maintain things, though, as you note about the potential for insolvency.

Presumably a bridge being swept away in floods could be something insurance would weasel out of paying, as an "act of god" or whatever, so unless the HOA has enough reserve to cover the (potentially very large) expense of replacement, it comes down to the members approving an assessment to fix it. If the bridge being out didn't significantly affect the daily lives of the residents of the neighborhood, it kind of makes sense that they'd be loath to shell out who-knows-how-much on repair, on top of their regular dues.

You’re correct. I’m not really denying any evidence, just there remain a bunch of mysteries around Satoshi’s identity, that all we can do is say “it could be this OR it could be this OR this could have happened OR they could have been this”. One can “or” oneself all day long in the face of a mystery or a paradox.

It is one of the great tragedies that the Agile Manifesto - which is literally four sentences that fit on a cocktail napkin - got turned into thousands of pages of "standardized Agile", with the biggest abomination in the world being SAFe. I swear, SAFe was a prank, and when people took it seriously they decided to cash in on it.

That said, a good TPM is often worth more than a good engineer. Herding all the cats across multiple teams, projects, competing priorities, keeping track of stuff, holding and being held accountable. And part of a good TPM is to find the right way to work. Maybe it's Kanban. Maybe it's Scrum. Maybe it's Waterfall. Maybe it's a mixture of different methodologies, like waterboarding.

That was the whole point of "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools", finding the right way to work for your team. Jira has to deal with the fact that it's meant to be a tool that fits into any company, so it's generic/customizable, and I've seen too many teams go crazy on the customization, trying to model out a massively complicated process when the team really just needs Kanban with a few extra fields.

I don't hate Jira - I don't like it very much, but I acknowledge that a lot of Jira's issues boil down to mediocre PMs being in charge of it.

Having worked with a good TPM that can really make things happen was eye-opening - tools like Jira can work beautifully if they are setup properly.
I'm curious about LangSmith's 'dynamic datasets'. How does it ensure data integrity, especially when rapidly iterating on AI models?
Most tech companies lease their hardware too. OpEx is always better than Capex.

I mean AWS is the obvious example, that's basically leasing your hardware. But even companies with on-prem data centers lease most of that gear. It's way better for cash flow to make monthly payments than an up front one.
It’s expensive largely because of regulatory requirements to be 10x safer (in deaths per MWh) than fossil fuels. You’d have to look at less-regulated countries like China to get the “apples to apples” comparison of how much it would cost without crippling regulation.

As I said in the comment you replied to, it should have been proactive. What I see here is that there exists a single page of text somewhere on a government website, waiting for parents to find it if they search around. I didn't see anything in that article about parents being informed the school was even using the app, let alone given a chance to ask questions or, you know, consent.

I have delivered XML data products comprising terabytes of information in (when I last checked) more than 800 schemas to companies around the globe, and people who have a rosy view of XML are using missing how it usually works in practice. XML is extremely heavy and brings a lot of half-baked ideas, and consumers are almost never flexible in ingesting the XML. It means teams wind up supporting insanely convoluted schemas that customers will never migrate off of.
