Basically yes - I think that a fair number of companies would throw away that increase in productivity purely for a sense of control. Companies do dumb stuff all the time and I've personally worked under an "asses-in-chairs" style owner who assumed that if you went for a walk to get a coffee with a coworker while having a technical discussion your productivity was 0. A lot of people are dumb and there are no secret smart people at the tops of companies making smart decisions - companies are ruled by majority and the majority is usually quite easily influenced by marketing campaigns (i.e. the ones launched by commercial real estate holders who are currently losing money hand over fist). And, just for reference, companies are also evil primarily because they're dumb and petty and there is a constant struggle for fiefdoms within the budget.

I think a fair number of people struggle with imposter's syndrome because they imagine that somewhere above them there's someone that is really really smart and has a plan - no such person exists, we're all just trying our best... and that "all" is all-inclusive - the person you remember who got D's in middle school is probably a middle manager somewhere.
Gemini is an interesting educational project but the lack of ability to serve even static pictures or video is an absolutely crippling mistake.
United States policy has contributed immensely to a lack of fathers. A father begins to lose his rights at the moment of fertilization. They are last in line for custody or visitation after a divorce (including the no-fault ones), but they're the first ones on the hook for child support. If there's welfare support for Women-Infants-Children, why should we keep Dad around?

A dearth of legal rights has acted synergistically with cultural changes to alienate children from their fathers, and so the children seek out authority figures and acceptance in gangs, or sports, or social media.

This is what it looks like when you're smashing the patriarchy and cancelling the patriarchs.
What language(s) would the stored procedures be, and how would that look in keeping with the ethos of the project?

Their reasoning for not doing this is not unreasonable, but it certainly would be cool if such functionality existed.
RMS is also not against the idea of selling software for profit and not giving back to everyone else. All that he cares about related to this is:

* The sale includes access to the source code

* The access to the source code includes the right to redistribute it, or modified versions.

If the people who pay for software choose not to redistribute it, it would not benefit everyone else.
Good to know, thanks for the links.
Modernism. Infatuation with the transformative power of technology. It transfers responsibilities of political participation (what it means to be a citizen) to a mechanistic, consumptive process (what it means to be a consumer). Could not exist without mass manufacturing (without which technology cannot fulfill its telos) or mass media (without which humans would not submit to this ideology).
Theft doesn't happen because you have inadequate deterrence. It just makes you the target. Theft happens because somebody chooses to be a fucking thief.

This isn't a problem that Kia/Hyundai has to deal with so much in their home market. It's a problem exclusive to large American cities. It's not Kia/Hyundai's fault that people in large American cities are fucking thieves in record numbers.

The locks on your house are just as insecure as on these vehicles. Are we at fault when our homes are broken into?

The US could also very easily do as Canada does and require electronic immobilizers on new vehicles. It does not.

The problem here sounds entirely like it's down to Americans and their government.

And I really don't understand what you're on about. Yes, criminals should be blamed for committing crimes. Your argument is akin to saying that if a robber snatches a woman's purse it's her fault for being a weak woman.
VIN?
You can also think of it this way, if you're not spending money, you're saving it and thus, the company can't hold you hostage in the future because you "need the money".
You're describing judicial punishment such as incarceration, not policing. Police do bust crime rings, given the resources and intel they have.

I actually agree that consequences can be an effective deterrent. Usually the naysayers share examples of recidivism to contradict this, not first-time offense. Seems kind of obvious and non-controversial that repeat offenders would not be deterred by possibility of jail once they're in that world and have nothing to lose. One need only look at all of east Asia to get a sense that harsh punishment works, it's just that you then have to deal with the other pitfalls... such as harsh punishment being applied in areas you don't want.

Even if you do increase prison time, it would have to represent a worse enough fate than what would-be criminals are living that they would wager differently. If crime scales with poverty, it's because poverty sucks. Jail sucks, but it tends to be a revolving door.
Yeah, Supabase is awesome. In fact, WalEx originally started out as stolen code from realtime so I could do stuff right in Elixir (biz logic).
>Police do not prevent crime, they apprehend people that they then accuse of doing the crime.

Do you think there would be more or less crime if there were no police officers

Also what is this 1984 double speak "apprehend people that they then accuse", are you talking about suspects lmao?
Orlando Airport served 50 million passengers last year - who also arrived without a car. I don't see why it's suddenly a problem for train passengers.
> Manipulate the incentive structure so that it does not financially incentivize single parents.

I hope not.
Everybody wants a "more simplified tax code" except they all want their own credit/deduction/exemption/whatever.
This is how we end up with nonsense like the masters exemption.

> This IRS exemption allows homeowners to exclude up to two weeks of rental income from their taxable income.
Counter point: there are safe countries that do not have these car thefts regardless of the immobilizer policy. E.g. UAE.
Start by trying the idea out manually, the school of hard knocks (and some reading) will be a better edu. Watch the https://startupschool.org videos for what the other schools would teach you.

fyi, making hiring in tech easier sounds great, but no one has delivered yet. You might start by telling us your hypothesis that makes your idea different. This is the essence of startup, early feedback and fast iterations
They are saying financial incentives should be to force people together vs support single parents. The unsaid part is to encourage, through policy, marriage and traditional family structures by way of less access to secular social safety programs. The problem is that this leads to people being forced to stay in abusive or unhealthy relationships because of someone else's ideology.

If you work backwards further, you'll find you're unable to fix dysfunctional relationships through economic policy. ~40% of annual pregnancies in the US are unintended, so perhaps more accessible family planning is what is needed, so that people who don't want to be parents don't become parents.

Information to consume to better understand this mental model: https://ifstudies.org/blog/category/single-parents

"The world is never unhappy because of children who have not yet been born; it is grief stricken by children who have been placed on the planet without anyone to love them adequately. We can cope with fewer children, we can't cope with yet more parents insufficiently dedicated to the tasks of love." -- Unknown
I think it might be too little too late. I do wonder if this was always the plan with classic door-in-the-face technique, but I can't imagine they would have anticipated the absolute magnitude of backlash. Their product certainly isn't as special as they clearly think it is, and the fact that they attempted to unilaterally change the contract in as egregious as way as they did is unacceptable and not behaviour I would want from a vendor I'm reliant on. Anecdotally, I'm seeing a lot of game devs being surprised at relative ease of migration in some instances, though I imagine there are megaprojects which will have a much worse time.

Crow had to be eaten but it looks like they're only tasting the feathers.
If Kia had a gigantic button that said "PRESS THIS TO START CAR WITHOUT KEYS" they STILL wouldn't be responsible for any of this. It's absurd that we are blaming the automaker for thefts instead of the theives.
From the article it sounds like trying to make more from the remaining user base after people cancelled subscriptions during 2022 for living expenses. Presumably the remainding people are less price sensitive. It does seem like a pretty significant increase in price though - something like 30% increase to avoid ads.

I only watch a few prime series, so my plan will be to only upgrade during months they release new seasons and downgrade as soon as I’m finished.
I would imagine that would be illegal in Belgium.
I can say I've hot wired 1970s boats-of-cars (usually had permission, one of these cars didn't even have keys) and it is a lot of fun but I've never messed with a car that had a locking steering column or immobilizer.
Why would I use SQLite over PostgreSQL for regular CRUD apps?
It was a kid’s show. I doubt it was meant to be a cutting commentary on social structures.
Faer 0.11, a general purpose linear algebra library written in Rust
`faer` is a collection of crates that implement linear algebra routines in pure Rust. the aim is to eventually provide a fully featured library for linear algebra with focus on portability, correctness, and performance.

see the official website (https://faer-rs.github.io) and the docs.rs documentation for code examples and usage instructions.

---

this release implements the initial design of the high level api (see https://docs.rs/faer/0.11.0/faer/), which should allow users to get started with writing easy to read code without having to deal with managing memory or multithreading settings on their own.

i also added a thin compatibility layer with ndarray and nalgebra. this way users are able to mix and match libraries if they wish to do so, or to help with migration to different libraries
We should expect goalposts for different games to be different. A "wow, neat" game is different from a "can I actually use this" game. It would be weird if they had the same scoring rules.

(And I actually do play accordion, so that's the test I use. Nothing I've tried gets accordions right yet.)
I don't think it's jaded at all. I don't disagree that a sales team is necessary, either. I'm just describing how a business works: it creates a solution and then finds a way to extract value by selling the solution to those for whom value would be created. Creating something and extracting value from it require different skillsets; that's all fine and good.

We view a business as problematic when it's only inserting itself between you and the solution, without actually creating the solution, i.e. rent-seeking. So, it's the relationship between the business and the solution that causes an issue, not the action of putting the business between the solution and the problem. The latter is a given, always.
Contemplating New York: In a City with Everything, What Do You Want?
Sure, Windows doesn't have "legacy" like VMS or Unix etc, but it's been in use by every day people longer than any other current OS except for MacOS, which really isn't the same OS it launched as, whereas Windows has maintained backwards compatibility (for better for for worse) for decades. So.. Legacy? Why not.
> It has a very crude tf-idf based categorization. I do have plans to improve it.

You could use the same algorithm that was used for spam filtering in my Linux Journal article from back in 2003[1]. I have thought about making a plugin to do it with MoneyDance but haven't gotten around to it. But I think it would be quite easy for you to integrate into Paisa if you are looking to do that sort of thing. I have actually made some improvements to the algorithm since then; let me know if you're interested...

People went places before cars were invented, and then General Motors put itself between people and the desire to move around by buying up public transit only to dismantle it. Now car companies are offering not "a better way" but "the only real way" unless you want to get hit by a suburbanite driving a Ford F-150 while sitting in an unprotected bike lane.

I'm really tired of people acting like it's just a free market where everyone is an equal, rational actor. There was a concerted effort to redesign Americana around cars that was not replicated globally, and you see the consequences of it play out in real time.
We did this recently due to some changes in our situation for about the last 10 months, after about 3-4 years of prime. Bought a lot less stuff in general I think, and they still had free shipping options when we did. Just had to plan ahead and adjust our mindset, saved 80$ (CAD).
This is a niche case, but I spent months trying to upgrade one of our services from one LTS version to the next (I forget which). We encountered a weird bug where services running on the latest JRE would mysteriously corrupt fields when deserializing thrift messages, but only after running for a little while.

After an enormously unpleasant debugging cycle, we realized that the JIT compiler was incorrectly eliminating a call to System::arrayCopy, which meant that some fields were left uninitialized. But only when JIT compiled, non-optimized code ran fine.

This left us with three possible upgrade paths:

* Upgrade thrift to a newer version and hope that JIT compilation works well on it. But this is a nightmare since A) thrift is no longer supported, and B) new versions of thrift are not backwards compatible so you have to bump a lot of dependent libraries and update code for a bunch of API changes (in a LARGE number of services in our monorepo...). With no guarantee that the new version would fix the problem.

* File a bug report and wait for a minor version fix to address the issue.

* Skip this LTS release and hope the JIT bug is fixed in the next one.

* Disable JIT compilation for the offending functions and hope the performance hit is negligible.

I ultimately left the company before the fix was made, but I think we were leaning towards the last option (hopefully filing a bug report, too...).

There's no way this is the normal reason companies don't bump JRE versions as soon as they come out, but it's happened at least once. :-)

In general there's probably some decent (if misguided) bias towards "things are working fine on the current version, why risk some unexpected issues if we upgrade?"
Could you expand on what you think the different interfaces should be? you keep stating that these things ought to be distinct but haven't explained why beyond dogma.
Turns out the real SaaS is Scripts as a Service.
I don't know that I'm the best person to ask, my scope is fairly narrow and definitely more Linux-focused (I don't even own a Mac). But, I think inventing a time machine so they can avoid making their partners write articles like this[1] would be a good first step. After that, stop putting out stupid special-snowflake APIs like Metal and adopt industry standards like Vulkan and OpenGL. Then build a 20-year track record of API and OS stability so game devs & users can expect their back catalog to continue to work.

I dunno, man. They've burned a lot of bridges, and they are a small piece of the pie[2]. Not a lot of incentive for people to put up with their BS.

Why not both? I would not be surprised to find the banks already sell that data to other entities anyway (directly or indirectly). I end up buying perhaps $100 of hooch per year; unsure I personally care if anyone knows, but yes, for some it might be an issue.
Yes I'm not qualified to really argue the point but naively it never made sense to me that IPv4 was not backwards compatible with IPv6 addressing. You'd think the people on the committees would have foreseen the trouble that would avoid. Telephone companies didn't make you dial the area code for local numbers. Microsoft bent over backwards to make sure that old DOS software still worked on Windows. Linux has a mandate to never break userland. This is not an unfamiliar concept.
Kafka is just fine. I just thought it was funny that SQLite would be involved at all.
ask for something you know will cause backlash (an anchor point) then recede to what you actually want
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I can relate: I tried for fifteen years to get disabling ear pain treated. Turned out it was an infected tooth that no one could diagnose in all that time. Made me homeless. Now I have PTSD from the medical neglect and I have an incredibly hard time forcing myself to make or go to appts.

Medical professionals don't acknowledge PTSD they caused, and it's odd that I have to seek help from the same people who hurt me.

There are a lot of us suffering alone from medical neglect and gaslighting. I wanted you to know that I see you.
I wrote a command-line tool that streamlines retrieving test results from GitHub Actions even further. Essentially parses jest/tsc/eslint errors in GHA jobs' logs for the current's branch PR. https://github.com/raine/ghtool
Thanks, I'm aware of this option too, but if you say have an HTML report with the results of 200 tests, no one has time to write some logic to parse the results to a markdown summary frankly. Just give me the link!

Similar too if the reporting captures video/screenshots of a given bug - the original report UI is far easier to deal with. Many test frameworks already natively put out an HTML report UI etc, it's just harder to get to than it should be with GH actions today.
Of course, in America, we have determinism(you are a product of your environment) for criminals, and free will(everything you do is your responsibility) for everyone else.
Several years back, before Apple clamped down on this kind of commercial behavior, I made the mistake of taking my iPhone to a third-party repair firm for a screen replacement. They claimed to be “Apple-authorized,” but it’s unclear for what. The knockoff part they used to replace the screen was palpably awful-dim, purple-tinted, discolored around the edges, somehow flickering like a CRT, and a millimeter or two thicker than the real deal so that it stuck out from the body of the phone.

The guy said “it’s fine, it looks great, it’s working perfectly, there’s no problem with it.” Basically “a screen is a screen.” I suppose in some situations and some parts of the market that may be true, and I’m glad that part of the market is adequately served by commodity Android manufacturers. But part of the small premium I pay to Apple for my low-end model iPhone, I pay specifically to avoid having to look my repairman in the eye and attempt to divine his judgment and trustworthiness before he makes off with my money. Consistency and trust in the repair ecosystem is a feature, to me.

There’s a balance to be struck, sure, but I’d hate to think of somebody doing the equivalent “what, it’s fine!” type of repair to a safety- or life-critical device and claiming it’s just as good as new. Even if somebody were to track such repairers down and prosecute them after their repairs injure somebody, we’d be moving from a high-trust to a low-trust kind of environment in exactly the areas where I least want to have to worry about trust.

Anyway, as to phones, I’ve since been very happy to pay Apple the $4/month to cover quality, authentic repairs should I damage my device—and I take them up on that coverage fairly often. $48/year plus the $29 deductible per incident works out even cheaper for me than that unacceptably poor third-party repair cost me years ago.
Pokemon as an entire game relies on artificial scarcity and psychological manipulation. It's just a fixed cost up front for the game (and arguably not even strictly so these days with Pokemon Go). Same with any game ever that has loot and drop tables. Allowing people to pay more money to get more drops is the only thing that's really changed. And honestly it seems the feedback depends entirely on how "sleazy" the game studio's street reputation is. Dota2 cosmetics are considered tasteful while Genshin Impact is "gacha". But heh even Genshin gets a pass because it's such a good game and not one of those mobile penguin island simulators (which even get a good rap in many circles for being cute and fun to play).

My new thesis is: if "winning" is "looking cool by getting good loot", then allowing people to pay for drops is effectively pay to win. I think this nuance is often skipped over in the conversation about whether some new game's micro-transaction framework is sleazy or not.
I'm surprised at the amount of attention that a threat to write a browser has gotten here. There is 0.000000% chance that anyone will write a new web browser that can reasonably render current web pages without about $10M/yr of budget or volunteer effort, probably much more. You can say this is just being dismissive or pessimistic or whatever, but it's no different than someone saying they are going to build their own Space Shuttle, and the progress so far is a partial sketch of one of the tires.

In about 3 or 4 weeks the author here has managed to implement about 2% of a very poor parser for html. Parsing HTML is probably one of the least labor intensive parts of writing a browser and is a task that would be suitable as a project for an undergraduate student majoring in CS as a project for a class. Writing a javascript engine that is fast enough to allow current web pages to work is not even comparable in complexity and effort. Projecting to what it would take to build a very poor browser, we are looking at about 150 years or more.
Tariffs on goods that originate from countries that don't properly account for this externality.

If a country doesn't want to collect it from their domestic producers, we'll handle it on our end. Companies offshoring production to avoid the carbon tax will be a no-op.
Out of not cheaper to run a postgres server than an embedded sqlite DB. There is more to the cost than just the software license.
Unity lost a lot of goodwill among developers, and it took over a week for them to admit fault. I seriously doubt they planned all along to present a temporary horrible plan, to make their “real” plan easier to swallow.

If this were a 48- or 72-hour turnaround, maybe. But Unity lost a lot of goodwill amongst developers and there are some they may never get back as a result.
I stand corrected, Oxyrhynchus, the name of the palm weevil is also a real name of an Egyptian city. Curiously "AI-esque" but real, it seems.

I wonder if the translation covering could mean here "take cover", "seek refuge" maybe from a dogs attack before falling accidentally.
eh, guess i was looking for trouble and "people shouldnt get pregnant anymore" triggered it
The choice of who to hire and who to work for is limited on both sides... but in this case it's the employer who is making the mandate that people should commute into the office - the employer should bear the cost of that mandate.
I played around with this quite a bit with chat gpt 4 with confirmation instructions, and after a bit of time it starts going haywire. I played around with just creating in a simple csv format, transactions date, name, category (asking it to categorize it), and amount. After a couple runs it started going haywire and hallucinating with transactions I never created.

I created an internal rails clone of financier.io and just created a spreadsheet web area i could copy/paste mass transactions in so i could add a batch at a time ( I suppose I could upload a csv also, but the problem is every bank has different formats)
