More people per house can often be a clusterfuck. Even people who are very amenable to each other are liable to develop friction in a small space. Then then there are people's inherently divergent plans depending on family, life, and jobs. The need for people who you would share space with to also pass credit/background checks. Then there is the increasing chance of economic challenges that comes from combining what would normally be multiple households.

Instead of the stereotypical 50s where you worry about one person losing a relatively stable job you now have 4-5 unstable incomes where the lose of one may endanger the economic stability of the household. Like a raid0 with increasing number of drives.

A famous trope in comedic premises is the friction between in-laws and spouse but this has absolutely obvious deep roots in real dynamics. Life is infinitely easier when your family and spouse just have to care about one another not live with each-other day to day.

Furthermore most of the apartment stocks aren't suitable in size for such arrangements and most of the single family housing is presently owner occupied or very expensive and or disinterested in renting to a crowd.

This doesn't seem on net a very tenable direction logistically or culturally in the US.

Why does the Rust community have numerous people writing long-winded posts explaining the same goddamn thing.

As far as am aware executive orders can’t override or nullify laws, they’re mainly directives to government employees (exec branch) to do X thing under the authority of a specific statute.
I keep seeing Rivians for sale on FB Marketplace for $100k+, with low miles. I thought it was just dickheads who overspent on a vehicle that turned out to be not very useful. Now it seems it's just poorly disguised scalping? I do not understand the obsession with waitlisted electric vehicles.
I just provided that as an example most people are aware of. It could very well come into play if Tesla attempts to use IP laws to prevent resale. Any such provision from Tesla would generally fail under UCC, which generally only allows conditions on resale when there is an explicit agreement to act as a distributor or wholesaler.
You CAN do whatever you want. And Tesla can choose to not sell to you in the future.
> If they read this post like that, then they are part of the problem.

On the other hand, they aren't. One part of the problem is in jail as he should be, and another part of the problem is you.
It's counter-intuitive to think that way. Modern x86 is designed to primarily operate out of the uOp cache.

You can argue about the cost of the uOp cache being expensive, but it's disingenuous to ignore it.
Tesla could even brick vehicles on a whim. For example, if the vehicle's owner didn't like one of Elmo's tweets. It would seem entirely in character for Tesla.

You can try to fight it in court, but that will take months, and your car is bricked in the meantime. Even if the court rules in your favor, Elmo can just ignore that, and your car remains bricked for years. Try to sell the car? Can't, it's bricked.
The entire point of companies is to become as close to monopoly as possible legally.
I'm 100% fine with opening a PR for "I just typed it" code...

with two caveats:

- a HUGE disclaimer at the top saying "DO NOT MERGE: not tested"

- also, you'll probably want to politely ask someone for a review, and be specific about what you're looking for

"Draft PRs" are fine for discussing topics or code or goals with a team mate.

It's all about getting feedback!
Yeah but traditional ML languages are ass slow. If I want to write applications that are that slow, why not use something that targets the browser or something like Ruby or Python that has a much deeper ecosystem to leverage? Unless you’re just playing around with building a language and trying out different ideas or you think it’s better at some other axis (eg lower defect rate). But I’ve generally found that my incident rate for bugs doesn’t change with languages. What rust has done successfully and “ML” languages have not is how to engage a broader community by exploiting a weakness in some class of problems they can do better on that existing languages cannot. That’s why they shifted into systems languages. Memory safety in systems languages was critically important and ML languages are typically too slow and memory hungry so Rust adopted some of the C/C++ communities obsession with speed and memory usage philosophies while allowing for much safer code to be written. I think it’s safe to say they’ve finally dealt a “COBOL” like blow in that completely new code being written is unlikely to be C++ and C++ developer salaries will keep going up because it’s a difficult niche. will take a few decades to play out because C and C++ is so heavily entrenched. And who knows, maybe the memory safety efforts the standards body is taking will help but I think ultimately it will only be useful for hardening existing codebases but that’s a temporary patch on a bleed. Rust used that initial wedge to jam in a code repository, making testing and benchmarking easier, etc etc. some of the Rust libraries are insanely high quality and waaay easier to work with than in C++ land (even at Google and Facebook where it was a record level of easy)
One of the best programming lessons I've learned was actually an attempt I made to learn something about design. Typography (which deals quite a lot with the presentation of information hierarchies) is an essential skill in making code actually readable. It gives you a framework for thinking about how to draw a readers attention to the places you want and how to signal that it is important. Which you can do even with tabs and plain-text.
I think it's even simpler than that. Any black body that is colder than its surroundings heats up. Any black body warmer than its surroundings will cool down.

Seems completely reasonable.
This would actually be economically devastating both in the short and long term. Lets say you could Thanos snap them out of existence. millions of jobs would go unfilled instantly and for a very long term. Industries and companies relying on such labor in whole or in part collapse. The economic ripples of collapsing demand make up for the lack of jobs as we dip into a depression.

Contrary to what people imagine such individuals both create economic value and create demand for goods. They also render tenable things like social security which work best with a slowly expanding population and completely implode with a collapsing population which we would in fact have at present birth rate.

It's also foolhardy to imagine that America is somehow "full" when our population density is actually a tiny fraction of actually densely populated countries.

Yeah, I was disappointed that the paper claims to use only so many premises up front, and then proceeds to smuggle in a few extra ones under the "clearly unphysical" line. I'd like to see a full and rigorous treatment of exactly what are the axioms which produce Lorentz transformations and no alternatives.

Yeah, I tried English and Hungarian. Hungarian names traditionally come from a very short list, and are quite unique spellings. Almost 90% of the results were English names only and definitely not Hungarian. The remaining 10% might be considered Hungarian names, like Adam or Peter but in Hungarian spelling should be Ádám or Péter.
Governments went on literal witch hunts, recently.

you demonstrate the slave mindset. you cannot imagine and so reject the possibility of an individual with the charismatic power to make those below him not feel like insects yet at the same time not neuroticise or even consciously attend at at all to how he comports himself. These individuals are not rare, either - but you cannot see them properly, likely because of the same resentment which causes you to describe followers, again, as 'insects'.

This understanding is not available to your 'concepts' or however you want to terminologize your gay taxonomy of hierarchies. either you get it - you get that people instinctively want to have someone above them to respect, and even admire (love), while they obey - or you don't.
I've had this same issue with SoundHound, as they've advertised this same feature for a while now. The problem is, sometimes I only have half of the chorus stuck in my head and I want to hear the rest but I don't remember it.

I just tried it with a guitar driven song I've had stuck in my head lately. I only remember about 5 seconds of the chorus, but it's what I would consider a fairly memorable and catchy hook.

I would be quite happy if we had a word for the language of France that was distinct from the adjective. It's not uncommon that I need to pause and clarify (typically "French people", that is, native francophones vs. residents of France). Not sure why more ambiguity is to be sought after.

In my case, it’s not unusual for white on black to be more comfortably readable than the opposite, depending on ambient lighting, screen panel type, type of device, etc. As such I greatly appreciate it when sites provide a light/dark toggle or at least work well with reader mode, which I can tune to fit my needs.

The way I see it, sooner or later, if the fakes are getting better and better and if differences are becoming so hard to spot, it might be ok to buy fakes. Especially if the difference in price would be greater than that in quality.
This way producers of fakes would be encouraged to make them better, becoming a strong competition.

Ok lets pretend we run the universe instead of having to deal with inconveinient things like organic choice. Can't we take some pressure off cities by requiring jobs that can be done remotely to be able to be done remotely and requiring employers to equally consider remote workers located anywhere? Furthermore lets imagine we are looking at 10% more people is it absolutely necessary that they be distributed the same way they are now? Wouldn't it make sense for some smaller cities to expand and become worthwhile competition to our present largest cities?

I just did it on my android phone. It couldn't figure out the song though. It did try.
But those "Safety" definitions are all not like what Rust folks mean by safety now. He's talking about immutability and bounds checking and avoiding memory corruption but not at all about borrowing.

I guess I should have been more specific. If that's what we mean by safe, then OCaml is safe as well.

Anyways, I followed it at the time. The borrow checker came later.
I'd say the big standout would be the section on having only a few fonts to choose from, odd both in the current context generally where there's now a paralyzingly large number of fonts to choose from as a web designer, and also in the specific context of being presented on a site that's clearly using webfonts.

The Internet Archive's closest look at the original [1] isn't quite from the day of but it's probably the same styling: a classic "Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif" font stack.

The grandparent comment called out the usage of still-appealing examples, but the original itself viewed in its original style is a good example as well, and really a better illustration of the post's point. Despite using a single "default" font, simple things like the choices of text width, line height, and differences in size, weight, and spacing of the headings have kept it attractive and readable.

The holidays are worth it from the pov of the employee I don’t disagree with that. Not from the point of view of a company trying to extract as much out of employees.

> Is Tesla leveraging their market cap and cash reserves to capture a monopoly position on chargers?

No. They are simply the only company that takes charging seriously.

I was helping to go through DCFC manufacturers' bids in 2021, and most of them had a "large sunlight-readable screen" listed as a fucking advantage. Because you can use it to show freaking ads or "branding".

Because that's certainly what I want to do: stare at even more ads as the charger does the slllllooooowwww negotiation process.
The one that tries to upsell hard is so annoying, I can't be arsed to go find it right now, but the other two make it so easy, yet the one that tries to upsell, its like every other click takes you to a "input your credit card" screen.... Seriously annoying.

Just had to deal with this for the first time in the last two weeks when someone tried to open a fraudulent account in my name... Interestingly, this happens for the first time in my life 2 months after I had to write down all my personal information to get a 0% APR credit card from a jeweler store...

It should be a default frozen system, not a default open system.

I had a look at https://github.com/philippta/flyscrape/blob/master/scrape.go. It’s just using the builtin HTTP client to fire off requests, with an identifying user agent. Which means it’s useless for scraping most real world sites you may want to scrape, unfortunately. You’ll get served a JavaScrpt challenge, or not even that (many sites will refuse to serve anything if they see a random user agent like flyscrape/1.0).
I feel the exact same way. I miss F1 races showing at 730AM EST, it was very easy to get up and have a full day. I barely bother watching the 1PM races.

Textual AIs can do text really well.

I would argue that even that they can’t do well at all. Look at the training set for a human. Humans learn speech, reading, and writing with a training set so small it’d be a rounding error from zero compared to what they feed into LLMs.

Chomsky called this the “poverty of the stimulus” in his argument against behaviourism. Yet LLMs are fundamentally the product of Skinner-style reinforcement learning. And it shows. They have succeeded to a wonderful degree at producing a facsimile of language understanding. But possession of language? Absolutely not!

Java and C# will not provide any sanity check on your use of locks and shared mutable state though. But the Rust borrow checker will. It won't prevent deadlock or race conditions, but it will at least guide you there much better than those pass-by-mutable-reference OO languages will.

In the same way that we use “French” for the language spoken by the Quebecois as well as that spoken by the French, we use “Spanish” for the one spoken by Mexicans as well as that spoken by the Spanish, sure. (Same as we use “English” for the language spoken by Americans as well as the one spoken by people in England.)

I absolutely agree the borrow checker came later. I think of it as that the goals have always been the same, but the enforcement mechanism changed over time, as more and more static ways were found to achieve the goal.
I’ve been tending to come back to Fedora too. One nice thing is that its packages are pretty new without being bleeding edge and without requiring fiddling with things post-install.

Agree that upgrading is painless with it. I’ve never had to pay close attention to what updates change, and it works flawlessly no matter how long it’s been since an install was updated.
Well there's also the fact that the types flow downward from the interface. Like the source of truth comes from your function parameter types that are always explicitly written. One thing that tripped me up writing OCaml is that you could have a mistake in your function that'd show up as a bug in a completely different location due to the inference algorithm. Like dumb example but say I have `foo` instead of `foo()` that changes the function return type to be a () -> int instead of int. You'll get the error when you use the function result instead of inside the function.
