There's complexity and then there's complexity. Your end user experience as a Discord user may be simpler on its face, but it's reliant on a lot of obfuscated complexity under the hood. You wouldn't be able to, say, send Discord messages using telnet, the way you can with IRC. Discord's simplicity in setting up an account, joining servers, having scrollback, etc comes at the cost of other types of simplicity.

People in this thread are talking past each other without realizing that they are expressing different preferences about where complexity belongs in a tool.

Astronomers alarmed by satellite that outshines all but seven stars
Seems like they're trying to balance out the other end of the equation by punishing labor through very high interest rates. My personal pet theory is that the fed wanted to raise rates enough so that the static interest rates on student loan debt didn't look so absurd when student loan payments came back online. Otherwise people would be demanding student loan debt relief. That ~7% doesn't seem so silly now, it's about inline with mortgage rates. But when mortgages were approaching 2%, that same 7% looked usurious.

In 2 years, you job hopped quite a bit. That means you don't have deep experience in anything yet and for most companies, you will be seen as entry level unless you can show that you are the real deal.

The answer to whether you should climb the ladder or start a side hustle depends on what you want for yourself and where you want to be in few years. You are most likely to make good money in a job than a side hustle. So if the goal is just to make money, I would say go for a job for now. That doesn't stop you from doing some side projects of course but then it comes down to how bad you want to do it.

Unless you have the entrepreneurial itch so bad that you just can't do anything else, I suggest you get another job and at least stay at one place for 3-4 years and gain real deep experience. If you keep job hopping, you wont be very valuable after another 2-3 years.

Just my 2 cents as someone with 20+ years of experience in the industry who runs his own thing.

Solid response. The Jewish center remembers that Jews have too often been on the receiving end of "public intimidation of individuals".

I do wonder how, specifically, they're going to "demand accountability", though.
Would the terms established by Google, agreed to by a developer creating an integration like this, include a need to respect permissions unless the user explicitly requests (or is explicitly informed of) additional access for parties beyond those already granted access by Google's system directly? If so, it seems like this could be reported to Google who would pull it down and force Slack to comply, if Slack doesn't want to on their own.

I suppose the installation of the integration already involves a Google-served message along the lines of "Slack will be able to see everything as you do" but that's not quite explicit enough for a user to then extrapolate "...and may share it however they like without telling you." Like of course they could, but they shouldn't, unless it's super clear, and it's not.
Next to a subway station near me there is a device that accepts plastic, glass, and aluminum cans for recycling, and pays cash for it, some cents per can. Judging from the amount of plastic bottles that people bring there, it can be either recycled profitably, or the recycling company gets some subsidies for handling it.
Shoot-em in.
Well, being able to screen record a reproduction of a bug is practical, and it's easy to do it in macOS or Linux, but I'm not sure about this on Windows.

Maybe a unified tool with a better integration will allow better bug reports, but pep talks by management at scale? No, thanks.

And then every so often mailman hits you up with "I'm receiving all these bounces from your email server!" because all the various garbage anti-spam techniques were not quite thought out with mailing lists in mind or people have lots of misconfigured servers and servers with different acceptance criteria, and it's all a big mess.

Configuring git send-email is only half the battle, anyway - chances are you want to participate in the discussion of your patch, so better figure out how to make sure your email client will not send the forbidden HTML email.

>engineers will soon be able to visually log issues in Jira

I see this issue all the time in bug reports and it can be pretty helpful to see a short video on how to replicate the issue. Depending upon the type of user submitting those reports they are often _more_ helpful than straight text because I don't have to have as lengthy back-and-forth Q&A on getting more details.
I think it's probably more common than people think, it's just quiet enough for a long time that most people don't notice it unless they're trying hard enough to notice it.

I suspect that's what happened to me at least. I think I actually did have it earlier in retrospect, it was just so quiet it was easy to ignore.

For the past four years though? Not so much. I can train my brain to ignore it still, but I need to be pretty focused on other things and/or cover it up a bit with ocean noises or be in a room with ambient noises or something. In a quiet room and I'm not really focused on something else, though, it's quite obvious and can get kind of loud at times.
TL;DR: mAh is not a unit of energy. Energy = Capacity * Voltage (mAh * V). Industry should use Wh (or Joules, which is the same unit type), instead of mAh.

journal "monogamy" is the problem.

modest proposal: always publish to arxiv, which assigns the permanent DOI. journals can be offered the article - one at a time if the authors desire, or in more of an auction format. when published in a journal, the arxiv entry is simply updated (new revision findable and attached to the original DOI).

this would make research works first-class, rather than journal byproducts.

Is that how you program things?

I recommend using as little as date/day mechanics as you can get away with. Instead using a monotonic durations as much as you can [1].

If you continue to program with date/day mechanics you'll run into plenty of issues when users cross timezones or just set the time on their phone to a different one.

So, how would we call those numbers after 10 ?

"Ten", "eleven" and "twelve" can stay the same. "Thirteen" to "nineteen" are more problematic since "*teen" refers to "ten". We would like something meaning twelve-one, twelve-two and so on. Then "two-twelve" intead of "twenty" ? Feels heavy. Maybe stick to "twenty" then ?

Glass shouldn't be recycled. It should be reused! We _had_ standard bottles that could be transported back to local producers, cleaned, and reused.

It is interesting looking at beer bottling in China. Glass bottles are reused by all the different companies. The "high-end" bottles (tsing-tao) will emboss their logo into their bottles, but you'll find cheaper bottlers reusing those bottles and just slapping their label over the embossing.
If Slack is already checking those permissions, fixing the thumbnail issue should be fairly straightforward, yes?
I suppose there must be some data in the serialized program which marks the start and end of a function body. But rather than having the semantics of that marker be:

> This is indentation whitespace, display it how you like

It should be

> This is a function body, display it how you like

Not only should readers be able to differ about how much whitespace is shown. They should be able to differ about whether it's whitespace that is used at all. Maybe they want something crazy like it makes a different kind if sound when you look at it, or appears in a different color or font. Whatever it is, it's no business of whoever is writing the program--they ought to be able to have an entirely different experience while still kicking out the same program.

In the history of the US, the "third party" either "spoils" in this fashion you've described -- or it subsumes the party it would've spoiled by becoming more popular.

It's not inconceivable for a new coalition to form around a new ideology and have that replace the GOP.
Same. Bums me out as I've always protected my hearing, too. I can't say I was born with it, but I certainly remember having it as early as maybe elementary school. I sometimes wonder—admittedly as a medical layperson—if an ototoxic medicine is to blame.
In high demand metropolitan areas, I don't see how housing prices are ever going to take a hit. There are plenty of young, well-paid professionals interested in good real estate who are capable of and willing to pay high prices. Demand is severely constrained because interest rates are high. I can't see how the needle is going to move unless rates drop.

I mean, we're being lied to that wages are causing inflation. We're being lied to that universal basic income will make people stop working. We were being lied to for decades that working from home was impossible. We were being lied to for decades that tax cuts for the rich will "trickle down" and help everyone else.

It's abundantly clear that the powers that be in the economic world are some combination of willfully lying and self-deluded about how various parts of the country's and the world's economy actually work. It would not surprise me at all if the statistics showing a "housing shortage" were either shortsightedly or deliberately ignoring particular categories of vacant housing.
> The only alternative is to do a deep dive into every allegedly scientific study out there

Agreed, reading takes effort, bummer. Luckily the authors have done the work for you, and linked to the two studies. When you're finished reading them, please let me know what faults you found in their research:

To be precise, high real rates generally means lower asset prices. We came in at 0.4% Month over month CPI. Overnight rates are 5.5%, so we still have a historically low real rate (5.5-4.8=0.7% CPI, 5.5-3.6=1.9% Core CPI).

The Fed hasn't really squeezed hard. They're looking for a soft landing. We went from super loose negative real rates to just loose policy, but to hear Jay Powell say it, we're already tight and restrictive. We probably need to get up to 3%+ real rate (maybe 6%+ overnight rate) to get a good washout and some forced selling.

This is also why you have to leave after x number of nights at a hotel in the US, where x is less than the number of nights it takes to qualify as a “permanent resident” in the hotel which would cause the hotel to have to go to court to evict them. It is usually 30 nights, but some states are up to 90 nights.

The court system being unreliable and backed up for months is a travesty of its own that has myriad downstream effects in society, including incentivizing discrimination.
The US Supreme Court and I disagree with you: speech anarchy is the same as free speech. Attempts to block misinformation inevitably turn out worse than the misinformation itself.
I'm not talking about building a new city tabula rasa style, the suburbs weren't starting a new city merely expanding it so the jobs, food access, and to a lesser extent community were provided by the city they were moving away from initially then shops moved into the area for the newly minted customers. The increased distance didn't matter so much because of the exploding prevalence of cars shrinking distances.
In defense of americans, that is exactly how most of the salary in europe works. But then, rent is also payed monthly.

Yeah and the UK is seeing the same issues as the US like extreme polarisation between parties and no incentive to reconcile.

In Holland parties have to form a coalition after the elections. This is a very complex and time-consuming process but I'm very glad we have it. It's not perfect but way better than winner takes all IMO.

Figma Dev mode now shows string keys used for texts
Now developers can read string keys assigned to texts on your Figma app screens, while having just view-only permission for the Figma files.

Steps for developers:

1) Turn on Dev mode (https://www.figma.com/dev-mode/) in your Figma project

2) Install Localizely plugin (https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1149839905856959280/localizely) in Figma

3) Select components in your Figma design

4) The plugin will show assigned sting keys for selected texts, that designers previously assigned (or auto-generated) in Figma

This enabled designers to give view-only permission in Figma to developers, and that way ensure design won't be modified by devs.
My grind was "Mathematical Statistics with Applications" by Wackerly et al. There are PDF versions if you Google for it. I can't say it was quick, easy or intuitive; but it works.

I also liked "In all Likelihood" by Pawitan for a "likelihoodist" foundational approach.
I don't have the impression that I am a hypocrite.

I have the impression that you decided that some people don't belong in the area. Your reasoning is that some immigrated that never were home in that area, but I am not convinced by that. I also have more impressions, but no evidence for them, so I hold them back.

"What comes next is impossible to anticipate, but it’s worth considering the possibility that the centrality of social media as we’ve known it for the past 15 years has come to an end---that this particular window to the world is being slammed shut."
And after all that, you'd still have a 68020 under the hood. You could, of course, spend an eye-watering amount of money on a 68040 accelerator... and then... you're still not going to beat the DX2/66. (Let's not even talk about the performance of AGA versus a local bus SVGA card)

It feels like I've heard so many Amiga users say that they finally broke down and jumped ship when Doom and the DX2/66 dropped. It really was a gamechanger. Before then it was possible to argue that a '040 Amiga 4000 still held its own against a DX/33 or maybe even a DX/50, but not this.

There were a lot of things that came together to kill the Amiga, mostly Commodore's mismanagement, mismarketing and complacency, but as the final blow to it being a viable computer with a future in the eyes of consumers, I feel like the DX2/66 was it. It would have killed the Mac too if Apple hadn't woken up to smell the coffee a few years prior and had Power Macs ready to go.

What are you trying to say here?

Where did the number 30 come from?

Housing does not meet any of the criteria to be a commodity. Commodities are undifferentiated bulk products widely available from many sources in which profits are minimal. Housing by contrast is completely unique owing to its location. Housing cannot be transported. Housing is not an easily substituted good. Sorghum is a commodity. The house at the corner of Grand and Lake is not a commodity.

Yeah, I can see most people can agree on feeling that the two big parties don't meet their needs, but I highly doubt they agree on what that third party should be. And if that's the case there's a real "you go first" problem under FPTP for voting for new parties, because otherwise you've just given the established party on the opposite side to your own views an effective boost by switching from your traditional party to one that meets your views better.

You really need at least ranked voting and ideally multi-seat PR to get out of that, which is hard as it's against the interests of the two big parties.

That said, looking at the UK there does seem to be a renewed interest in moving away from FPTP in their Labour Party despite it being nominally against the parties interests, so maybe there's a way to get movement on that?
I've seen an uptick of reporting on 'vacant homes' like the journalists are hinting at a confiscation of private property to house homeless people or something. This isn't Stalinist USSR - you can't seize peoples farms or property for collective use. Being a dreg on society does not entitle you to others earthly possessions. I disagree with an empty home tax as well - property taxes are already being paid. Ban foreign investors from buying homes/property, ban corporations from hording property, encourage housing development and curb commercial/retail expansion.
Ah, that's interesting. So you're able to lean it towards particular contexts by the way you frame the prompt? That would follow, and makes sense.

Implies that the system's behavior isn't only controlled by the prompt, but by how you ADDRESS the prompt. So, start believing that it's a person and address it as such, and it's going to lean towards engaging with you as if it is a person, further misleading you.
There is an extrapolation happening here and I don’t think it’s appropriate. The vast majority of this was good, old-fashioned, old-timey fraud.

Yes and blockchain did absolutely nothing to prevent it. Even con artists depend on accurate accounting.

E-ink isn't that different from LCD tech; if we could make e-ink for $0.50 per screen then we could probably make LCD screens for about the same.

The core problem hasn't changed, though: LCD covers more use-cases than e-ink does; it even has better battery life than e-ink in some scenarios! (E-ink screen refreshes take a lot of energy more energy than LCDs, although they only refresh once per interaction instead of 60 times a second)

E-ink sounds cool (and is cool), but it's not practical. It's the zeppelin of electronic displays.

more-open publishing does not necessarily do away with peer review.

the really interesting part is that sometimes review benefits from anonymity and even blinding. doing that in a more-public publishing process would be interesting. (but not impossible - there are tricks to providing authentic anonymous identities.)
