I guess the high-end iMacs and iMac Pros (remember the iMac Pro? 10 core Xeons upgradable to 512 GB of RAM!) just never sold very well, so they canned the idea of selling iMacs to pro users and instead chose to focus on the lower-end market that was previously served by the 21.5".

So it seems to me like the iMac has very much been repositioned as a stylish, basic desktop computer for the home and general office tasks now. No M3 Pro/Max, no bigger monitors, limited I/O, etc. I personally don't really like it because I have labs full of decked-out 27" iMacs that are now kind of left without a clear upgrade path, but I understand what they're doing.
we've had nightly air raid alerts for the last two years.

Now there are less of them, but I don't know what the future
will bring. I think russia is preparing their winter campaign
of terror again, so we will see.

When it is 3 in the morning and you hear explosions and you
are really really fcking happy that it didn't hit you.

You can also have no electricity and heat in the middle of
the winter, but it sort of sortable if you go somewhere public
where business have electricity generators.

At first you get used to living like this, but after some time
your natural resilience start to break and it can become quite
difficult to live.

So I've got a lot of time to think about life and death sort of
things in this setting.

I've got to understand one really simple thing. I should live my
life in such a way that when it really hits me, there be no regrets
for my time in this world.

I need a bazzilion friends and experience love, I need
that people think of sunshine when they remember me. Because
I am love for every living thing. Everything will be the best
way it could possibly be, every hard thing in life is there for
a reason.

I've rented coworking space for about 6 years and evaluated WeWork in 2 cities. It was never a good value, so I've chosen smaller places with single locations.
A former roommate of mine was a doctor in residency. They were paying him peanuts and grinding as much work out of him as they could. I think this was maybe 5 years ago and he was at 65k or so in a major metro in the US.

So if you're a hospital, and you can get cheap doctors in residency who basically need to work whatever workload you give them, why wouldn't they hire as many of them as they could? I figure the limiting factor should be their ability to manage them, not federal funding. They are paying pennies on the dollar for doctor labor that they are NOT giving patients a discount on.
> If I ever see another ORM-generated DB schema it'll be too soon.

I'd argue that most ORMs generate the schema you ask it to. Using an ORM isn't going to create a worse database layout that you could do by hand. The issue is that some/many developers don't know SQL, nor have the required knowledge of their databases to use an ORM.

The ORM requires you to know what lies underneath, it is a fairly leaky abstraction. Understanding that, you can get most ORMs to create nice schemas.

> Fancy algorithms are slow when n is small, and n is usually small. Fancy algorithms have big constants. Until you know that n is frequently going to be big, don't get fancy. (Even if n does get big, use Rule 2 first.)

Another point on this, which I really saw in action on a recent project - a "big" n is probably much bigger than you think. Sometimes it can be easy to think "oh, this is going to have to do 100,000 operations, I definitely need to optimize it" - but computers are fast, and 100,000 multiplications (for example) happens so fast you probably don't need to think too hard about it.

That's not to say you shouldn't think at all, just that it's often surprising how insanely fast modern computing hardware is.

Since we're simply in speculation land, perhaps happy homeschooled adults are less screen-obsessed than those who went to 'normal' school or those poorly homeschooled and thus have better things to do with their life?

> Negative interactions are something kids have to learn to deal with. It's not pretty or fair or even safe, but neither is the world.

Completely agree. If someone assaults you in real life, you should learn that you need to file charges to ensure your assaulter goes to jail. Not sit quietly in the corner while your abuser gets a talking to.
Does your insight now have more relevance than when you were 11? I think so as you have a better view of what it means to exist as a human.

Htmx, Rust and Shuttle: A New Rapid Prototyping Stack
Its been a time since I interviewed in such a manner, perhaps things have shifted. When I was interviewing a few years back, it was algorithm heavy, often a basic data structure was provided and there was alot of focus on traversal (hence the memes around reversing binary trees and such)
Your first link dares back to 1995 and a lot has changed since.

The data from Alaska is based on "students are enrolled in the state’s popular correspondence programs". If that implies state control of materials and syllabus it is more like school than real home education.

I think you are right in so far as there is a particular sizeable group (affluent hippie women in my experience in the UK) of home educators tend to encourage humanities and creative arts.

It looks from these UK numbers (also admittedly not recent) that HE kids do better at maths here: https://core.ac.uk/download/108200.pdf (page 298).

In general, the internet has been of huge help to home educators: online classes, better access to resources, online advice and community (only useful thing I have ever found on Facebook are HE groups!) so I would expect that to have had a major impact.

We also survived covid lockdowns rather better.

It is the same issue.

The AMA has lobbied to limit federal funding for medical residency. This is the bottleneck.

The fundamental problem is that the US government should not be in the business of funding residencies to begin with. That should the on the hospitals.

Right now the problem is that no hospitals want pay the 150k cost for residency when there is the option for the federal government or another hospital to pay it. It basically leads to a tragedy of the commons/prisoners dilemma, where all the hospitals defect and try to fight for limited grants.

Indeed the docs are very confusing but I think what it's saying is it uses sqlite3_create_function to replace the "default" implementation of LIKE (which calls the like function: https://www.sqlite.org/lang_corefunc.html#like).

It might be mentioning GLOB because it also resets its function (to the default https://www.sqlite.org/lang_corefunc.html#glob) so a client which installed its own glob() function would get an odd behaviour. I can't say I understand why it resets glob though.

From looking at archive.org, until 2011 the doc said:

> This pragma only works if the built-in like() SQL function has not been overloaded using sqlite3_create_function().

then in mid 2011 it changes to

> This pragma uses sqlite3_create_function() to overload the LIKE and GLOB functions, which may override previous implementations of LIKE and GLOB registered by the application.

but the only changelog entry about case_sensitive_like before then was its introduction back in 2005. 3.0.6 beta (september 2004) does indicate

> Combine the implementations of LIKE and GLOB into a single pattern-matching subroutine.

but the link still seems debatable, surely overriding glob() does not normally change the behaviour of like(), it's only the default impls which are shared?

Anyway if someone wants to code-dive sqlite, that's an open question.
> Every employee should see their role as temporary. This isn’t the lifetime employment pension days anymore. I see many opportunities for employees to walk away as a positive.

Good advice in general, but not a hard rule. There are roles where you need to expend a lot of energy learning proprietary stuff (processes, languages, frameworks, business rules). If you're in one of these roles it can give you a ton of leverage, but tread carefully around egos (you could get fired out of spite if you flex too hard, and maybe that's fine, but generally it's lose / lose).
Even when I was in my 20s, I thought fellow 20 somethings freaking out about being “old” and acting like they’re seasoned in the way of life and must share their wisdom with us all was good for a laugh. I felt like I didn’t know anything and now in my late 40s I feel like I still don’t know anything but am comfortable with that.

Sure, but that complexity is something you do not want to deal with in your reporting API layer. A reporting API should report correct figures, you don't want to put the responsibility for ensuring the numbers add up on the person requesting the report.

SEEKING WORK | REMOTE | Dev, DevOps, Security | Location: The Netherlands

Willing to relocate: no, but willing to travel/visit. I'm flexible with working hours, I usually work with clients from either Western Europe or the USA.

I do dev/devops/security, usually for startups or scale-ups or other small orgs with limited resources, and I've been doing that for 15+ years. So, if you:

* Have a slow web application that’s often down?

* Want to improve security and don’t know where to start?

* Have a legacy system that needs to be replaced?

* Are considering an acquisition but not sure about the technical side?

I can help with that. For example, in the past I have:

* Massively improved performance and reliability for a data visualization platform.

* Led a large effort to improve security for a
cybersecurity SaaS.

* Built a micropayments system for a prominent media startup.

* Rebuilt an aging e-learning platform from scratch for a GDPR compliance SaaS.

* Conducted technical due diligence for acquisitions.

I don't see how the larger quote adds any additional meaningful context. Once you have identified (measured) the critical 3%, the state is no longer premature. That is already implied in "Premature optimization is the root of all evil". The the maxim is not "Optimization is the root of all evil".

python has a ubiquitous lack of static checking; every other feature added to it must be considered in that context. if on balance it's bad without static checking, it's bad in python

the code in question was not doing foo.decode() or foo.encode(). it was writing a string to a file. python 3 inserts implicit unicode encoding and decoding operations in every access to environment variables, file names, command line arguments, and file contents, unless you pass a special binary flag when you open the file, as if you were on fucking ms-dos.

all those things are byte strings, and rust and python 2 give you access to them as byte strings. python 3 instead prefers to insert subtle bugs into your program

Concurrent writes, not concurrent accesses. Especially after enabling wal mode.
I'll comment here but this is more for the original comment than yours specifically:

Looks like they specifically call out selling structural components (brackets, plates, etc.) pre-assembled with the component, bolts and slot-nut bolted together - loosen the bolts, slide the nut into the slot from one end, and then tighten the bolts. This shows there's likely little opportunity for "pop in" nuts, which can be installed in normal T-slot anywhere along the slot without needing to slide in from an end opening.

Also, it looks like the aluminum framing itself is symmetrical, and the bolts are "normal" - the special components and slot-nuts are the components that are asymmetrical.

vidanay - not sure what you mean about the "unequal loading to the flanges of the nut" - if I'm understanding you, and their system, correctly, I don't think that's actually an issue.

Overall, I think I agree with what others have said - kinda interesting, but if it's more expensive or harder to get than regular t-slot, there don't seem to be enough benefits for _most_ applications. Maybe the strength benefits they claim are enough to justify it for some applications, but honestly if you're depending that much on strength, you'll probably be better off designing a fully custom part.
Maybe after covid-24, 26, and 28?
> So it's 2023 and I'm still stuck manually downloading and unpacking .tar.bz2 files into /opt every other week.

You should have to do that only once, then Firefox updates itself just like on Windows or MacOS. I ran this setup (Debian stable + Firefox installed by unpacking a tar) for years and never had an issue. Maybe you should unpack it in a directory where your normal user can write files to let Firefox handle the update.
Next year that 7500 will indeed be taken off the MSRP of the car[0]. But 39k is relatively cheap given it's lower than the current average new car price[1], and the same as $29k in 2013 money, which was the "average new car price" at that time[2]. Those gas savings are real too, assuming you can charge at home.

I'm a fullstack software engineer with strong fundamentals in programming and web technologies. I enjoy thinking about infrastructure, networking, and data. I consider myself a generalist when it comes to tech stack—I'm proficient in multiple stacks, and I enjoy picking up new tech to solve a specific problem. My biggest strengths are that I love continuous learning and I enjoy the process of solving hard problems.

Most recently, I worked with a remote team to develop a framework for testing microservice API integrations. If you want to know more, I authored a technical case study exploring the problem space and our solution: https://signet-framework.dev/case-study

I'm looking for a new opportunity—feel free to reach out if you think I may be a good fit for your team!
I agree, I'm just pointing out that you're talking about road trips. For my driving, though I don't have an EV, almost every day would be cognitively simpler than my current situation. I just don't drive more than 200 miles a day more than 2-3x a year.

Road trips absolutely require more thought, but that's just not routine for most people in my experience
I am certain it was clear to the author and those with perhaps a more fine tuned ability to control themselves.

My friend - a notorious luddite - bought a newer iMac recently. He was sold by the marketing and videos/reviews of it. I've yet to see him sit at his desk to use it once beyond the first time. It's a paperweight. Same goes for my parents; they went to Currys (UK electronics retailer) to get a cheap laptop to view photos on, and to my dismay walked out with an iMac for 3x the price of a similar spec device that they use once in a blue moon.

These SKUs are categorically not meant for the likes of you and me. They're meant to target technologically illiterate people who want a pretty looking PC that everyone raves about because Apple are expert marketeers. The fact it's got 8GB RAM and 256GB of memory means little to nothing for them. They want an Apple device, but want something cheap, so they buy the cheapest one. Any other consideration is irrelevant.
I don't see anyone taking this out of context here. The entire quote is less pithy but not different in meaning. "Premature" is literally the first word.

Reading works for me. Recently I've improved that even more using an eReader.

My room is completely dark when I go to sleep. I use blackout curtains and have removed any sources of light from my room. In the summer it gets light very early in the UK (~04:00) and I require ventilation so I also wear an eye mask. I use a fan to mask any background noise and, in summer, this is blowing directly on me to keep me cool. I use a wool duvet which I found the best for temperature regulation; I require a weighty covering even when it's warm.

I use a Kobo which has an adjustable frontlight that can go both very low and very warm (redish). I set the Kobo's backlight to the lowest and warmest possible setting. I lie on my side with the Kobo on its side leaning on an adjacent pillow such that I don't have to hold it. Turning pages requires a light tap; there is no scrolling or swiping involved. At some point after a few pages of Iain M. Banks, or whatever I'm reading at the time (usually science fiction), I fall asleep. The Kobo automatically switches itself off after I stop turning pages and I wake in the morning with it next to me (or sometimes I've moved it but can't remember when/why).

It's important not to use something like TV that you need to actively switch off at some point and, if you use an object like a book or eReader, make sure it won't fall and wake you up when you start to nod off. Definitely don't hold it up with your hands. Don't use a phone because scrolling etc. is far too active and backlit screens just don't seem conducive to sleep. An eReader is perfect because it means you can turn the lights off but the frontlit e-ink screen is more like a book than a phone.

This method has been tried and tested with a partner in the same bed. You just need to make sure any objects don't fall on or get tangled up with said partner. I have a pillow system propped up by my bedside table for this purpose.
