> It's a bit annoying living outside the core when you are young since cabs are expensive and regional pubic transit unavailable late

Use a bike? If you don't want to cycle all the way to the city park it at the last all-night public transport stop and take the bus/tram/train/whathaveyounot to the city from there?

Maybe it is my Dutch heritage or maybe just common sense but anything up to ~15km is within an easy bike ride range, 20km if needed. OK, you can't get drunk like a skunk but why would you do that anyway? A few beers are fine, you'll cycle them off anyway.

In my eyes cities look at their best when you see them disappearing on the horizon after a pleasant night out.

I've never been to Toronto so maybe this prospect is totally unthinkable there but I've spent a few weeks around Vancouver - it was meant to be only a few days since I was scheduled to fly out on the 11th of September, 2001 - where cycling was just as feasible as in most European cities.
> undue delay related to aging circuitry

Instead of a dumb inert core they use a smart inert core that broadcasts precise measurements of the implosion using fiber optics and triboluminescent capsules that flash as the implosion wavefront crushes them. The computer has to broadcast the data before it itself gets crushed microseconds later. But yes, I still share your overall concern even though we can push the question marks one step later in the delicate process.

There's a lot of Community Board BS, where in my opinion it's just another symptom of how Small Government can not work well at scale (i.e. many small governments behaving as elected or appointed officials that only very narrow interests pay attention to).

I've been using AppleScript since its beginnings in combination with all kinds of other scripting tools and system components for all kinds of more or less useful things, and I'm really happy to it being used like this even 30 years later.

My first implementation was using my first Mac's speech recognition to implement an interactive chistmas calendar, btw. So this was a nice reminder of that.

> Alternative mediums of social media are pretty interesting

Just a heads-up: “media” is already the plural of “medium”. It gets kind of lost in today’s “social media” an (my least favorite[0]) “multimedia”. Each site is a social medium, and only collectively do they get the more-familiar term.

0: “Multimedia” should actually be “multi-medium” Just like when there’s transport that involves more than one mode, its a “multi-mode” transport, and not “multi-modes”. I realize this is a weird nit to pick, but I figured I’d share.

Portrait displays are worth trying, in my view. I've gone through various iterations of multi-display setups, and I've settled on having 2 x 27" portrait displays at 1440p (or scaled 4K equivalent), one directly in front of me and one to the side, plus a landscape display of any size to the other side.

Both the portrait displays get a good amount of use. The central one is most important of course but the one to the side is useful too as I don't have to turn my head much to look at it. Its usual use is documentation or similar but using it for actual work is no hardship.

The landscape display is mainly there because I work in video games, so I kind of need one. I usually use only about half of it at most, though, to avoid having to turn my head too much. If I was in some other line of work I'd probably have a 3rd portrait display instead.

(I did use the large monitor + laptop below arrangement for a while, and that was good too, but one day I knocked my drink over and it destroyed my laptop. So that prompted a rethink.)
Long-time programmer here who is a typing machine, without discomfort, thanks in part to heeding Internet warnings about RSI circa 1990, and to finding what works for me.

One of the things that matters for me when seated at a desk (I also do standing desk) is that I like to be able to have my feet flat on the floor when seated, and then for the keyboard height to be lower than most desks.

If you're similar, and you're considering those powered height-adjustable desks, note the minimum height in the specs of a desk (and that the actual minimum height might be an inch or two higher, due to the top thickness and/or leveling). Importantly, the "3-stage" ones on Amazon go lower than the "2-stage" ones.

You can also occasionally find rare low fixed-height desks. I also once realized that the legs of a university lab's white laminate desks were interchangeable with the legs of matching shorter white laminate side tables. (I quietly swapped a set, under the cover of night.)

On chairs, I don't like armrests in any case, and also, note that, if you have a lower desktop or keyboard shelf, armrests on chairs might bump into it.

If you want to remove arms from a chair that has them, check how well that works before you spend a lot of money. Aerons with arms look like they can come off pretty cleanly. I've had good luck with some more conventional commercial-grade office task chairs. I've also seen office chairs that leave unsafe heavy-duty welded steel frame protrusions out the sides, with corners that could rip into someone's leg someday. Steelcase Leap V2 arms can come off, but not cleanly, so it looks kinda dumb for how much money you spent.

I'm disappointed he is open to Anthropomorphism, I had led myself to believe he wasn't that minded. He also appears (from this article) to think the predictive quality of text models implies knowledge of the world, arguing that since we are also trapped inside a sense factory filter, we can't exclude that what the LLM does is also bound by its sensory inputs.

I just don't agree. This is Searle's chinese room brought into the modern computing era. Inferences about how the system behaves don't actually lend themselves well to discussions about where cognition lies in the system, if at all. Informatiom is encoded, sure. And inferences are shown to be drawn based on the information model. The inferences are to my mind still shallow, for indicating intelligence.

the countless lives that are saved because someone didn't want to do something illegal by starting drinking/drugs just don't show up so easily in statistics. I don't think that it's so useful to so exclusively focus on people who chose to commit crimes for personal enjoyment. It's bizarre actually, people on your side are basically saying that this desire to consume illegal chemicals is so strong that it's impossible to contain in a human society. That's the actual theory here and I don't think that this theory is correct. I think the real reason why it's so hard to get rid of drugs is because the ways to socialize in our society have all become centered around drugs. You practically can't even connect with another human being anymore without consuming some kind of mind altering substance in a social setting. This is insanity, as a society we should have countless social settings, clubs, activities etc. that people enjoy doing together. Meanwhile the reality is that most people just go clubbing or drinking and then we wonder why it's hard to get rid of drugs.
In addition to that we have to realize that any criminalization of drugs will necessarily take generations to take effect because people just aren't able to change once they have started that lifestyle. I myself find it very hard to get off the sugar lifestyle and that's just sugar.
After a lifetime of programming I feel like I still have a pretty-good “keyboard stamina”. I attribute this to not having any habits, let alone bad ones. Or maybe they’re all bad. I’ll explain.

I started programming pretty early, but I didn’t have a desk until my first job after college. I pretty-much made do with whatever situation was available to me. I also started working pretty early, doing physical jobs. I bucked hay for local farmers at about 12 and started shearing Christmas trees at about 15. The latter doing a lot of damage to my shoulders over the next few years. In college I rowed crew, which didn’t make things better as far as my arms went.

After college I started programming and I’ve been doing it professionally for going over 30 years now. It’s never really been physically comfortable. Even back then I was good for like an hour-long sit at most before I had to get up and move around and “get the blood flowing“ so to speak. That’s never changed. I still don’t like working at a desk. I stand, I sit on the floor, I sit in comfortable chairs, I lay down on the sofa, I’ve been known to steer a sailboat with one hand and program with the other.

I feel like this is why it still works for me - I don’t repeat my posture much. I have a really, really low bar for my programming “situation” and take full advantage of that.

My name is Alysson, I'm 22 years old, I'm a full stack developer, driven by my passion for user experience and software engineering.

I'm currently a Computer Science's student, and I have experience with web development, using the latest technologies on the market.

I'm looking for an internship or a job as a junior developer. I learn quickly and I am available full time for work.
All earth-bound or upper atmospheric photo-astronomy now looks like this:

https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=571785082&q=starlink+a...

The satellites reflect a significant amount of sunlight. It's many, many times worse than existing satellites and lights from airplane traffic and more difficult to remove the tracks, plus whatever was hidden behind the reflecting satellite is lost.

Things are even worse for radio astronomy, because apparently the starlink satellites emit significant RF pollution: https://www.space.com/starlink-electronics-hum-disturbs-radi...

https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2023/08/aa46374-...

The interference apparently varies satellite to satellite in both intensity and band, and exists in a very wide range of frequencies, including those protected for scientific observation by the ITU.

It's infuriating that one man has so significantly impacted nearly an entire field of science.
To a first approximation your experience is why micropayments have never taken hold…

They seem as much like a great idea here in 2023 as they did in 1994 when I first read about the idea. I had just started using the internet.

Micropayments are infeasible because financial infrastructure has non-trivial costs. The costs are non-trivial because there the highest incentives to steal money and thus systems need hardened surfaces.

At $0.30/transaction the cost of 10,000,000 automated attacks per hour/day/week becomes real money.

And at $0.30/transaction there seems to be enough money to provide enough resources to make the system robust enough.

Anyway, charging more is an easy way to make the business viable if it is going to be viable…and if you can’t provide $10 of value it probably isn’t.

Good luck.

I walk, drive and bike in SF, and I think a super unpopular opinion that needs to gain more traction is that non-vehicles should get more intelligent too.

People here seem to have zero sense of self-preservation here: constantly staring at phones, ignoring crossing signals and stop signs, not even glancing to confirm they're not hiding in an A pillar, even sometimes seemingly wanting to challenge cars.

I personally had a horrifyingly close call with a pedestrian while driving: a lady in all black, on a rainy night, jaywalking in an intersection with poor visibility due to a steep incline. The person didn't even break stride after what was a close enough call for me to pull over for a moment...

At the end of the day I get it's super hip to push the cars are disgusting and drivers are evil angle in this city, but if a car hits you, you lose: all the laws and punishments and moral superiority in the world will not unbreak your bones. It will console no one that the driver was summarily shot out of a cannon or never drove again compared to if you had just not been hurt.

The notion that your safety is primarily someone else's responsibility crumbles under that simple reality. Safety is a collective concept, we all play a part in it.

N=1, but the only blind engineer I've worked with preferred Windows, I think for JAWS. The company was a little behind the curve on hardware, but was fairly progressive in a lot of ways, and made accommodations without question, so I know he could have gotten a Mac if he'd wanted one.

He even gave a demo to the team at one point of what it was like to navigate editors, screens and browsers as a blind person, starting with the screen reader at a normal speed and ramping it up to what he was accustomed to.

I'm a little sad I didn't get to work with him directly outside of a single time he helped me test some custom UI elements, so I don't know much more about his take on voiceover versus jaws, but this was also over a decade ago. I'm sure things have changed more than a little since then.
These optiplex also idle around 5W and have more than enough horsepower for pretty much anything.

Radiative forcing-wise, flying emits 200g equivalent of co2 per pax-km, rail about 20g. And that’s largely due to infrastructure, so the marginal „cost“ of more trains is low.
I think it depends how you look at it. For me, it's a pretty small price to pay to look at Slack here and there, whether over the weekend or on vacation, to get paid significantly more. Rarely do I have to actually put in more than an hour or two during these times, and I can very easily take that time off during the work week.

Majestic, the main streaming "core" component of the camera (which does RTSP, HLS, etc...) is closed source, the rest is open, except some third party SDK blobs.
Rust bundles its standard library, instead of having it in MSVCx.DLL. The println macro pulls in a lot of fancy formatting machinery. It also panics when stdout is closed, which pulls in panicking, debug print, and unwinding.

This is a one-time cost per executable. Projects for embedded systems typically disable these features to avoid the costs.

I switched from MacOS to Linux/Wayland after 10 years on MacOS because it accommodated my vision impairment better.

Because I have cataracts, it helps to make everything on the screen bigger. MacOS can do it, but the result is blurry unless the scaling factor is exactly 1 or exactly 2, and choosing 2 reduces the horizontal resolution too much for some web sites. (My monitor is 1080p, so with a scaling factor of 2, the viewport is only 960 pixels wide.)

In contrast, Linux/Wayland offers scaling factors 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0 and 2.25. (I've been using 1.75 for months.) Windows works similarly to Linux/Wayland (though apps that have not been updated to work with recent versions of the OS end up blurry), so MacOS is definitely a laggard here.

I'm going to say microcode until someone reproduces on a completely different architecture :).
The lack of labour organisation and oversupply of notional workers (I say that because unless something has changed a new graduate is not performant in role for a long time, 18 months possibly) surely has more to do with it? Having seen 7-10% layoffs in coding & development staff, then the natural rate of full employment in this sector is way over-achieved: there's a massive supply of labour to fill holes, Either price yourself down, or go hungry.
I think this is key. I never had too many issues taking breaks, to be honest. Even when 'programming', I spend a lot of the time thinking about what to do, and not actually typing. I heard early on that if you're constantly typing, you're doing it wrong, and I must've taken it to heart.

I'm 44 myself, and fortunately haven't had that sort of pain in my hands/wrists/forearms.
Have had back pain though, and that sucks.

Comparing the mobile 7840U[0] to the M2 Mac Mini[1] suggests it's kinda a wash. Both idle around 6-7w, and under load they both max out around 50w.

There are definitely less efficient chips you could bring into the comparison fold, but the M2 is a mobile chipset. You need another mobile chip if you want to draw more interesting power consumption comparisons.
