Is it really that unimagineable that some people would rather not see this large area of natural land destroyed, and have to live with the resulting externalities of the mine? People who hold different values than you aren't all evil beaurocrats who hate electrification. Many of the folks opposing this mine are strongly for green energy projects in general, but clearly prioritize certain tradeoffs differently than you do.

There's an argument to be made that the tradeoffs are worth it in this case, but you don't seem to be making an argument so much as completely dismissing groups of locals and environmentalists who have a number of valid concerns.

I think there may be some interesting intersections between some of the server-less compute offerings and the control plane technologies. For example, a Workers KV backed alternative to etcd.
I had grand plans to make a giant USB ZFS volume from tradeshow thumb drives in bulk.

It lasted a couple evenings while I bumped into apparently every Linux USB driver/chipset issue possible trying to drive a couple hundred drives via cheapo AliExpress USB hubs.

It was fun times, but even more useless than I originally thought it would be. It was amusing to get >1GBps for a minute or two across 256 crappy thumb drives though!

There is so much untapped potential for Postgres. It is so widely used but most folks only scratch the surface in what it can do.

Actually no, we really did forget how to nail boards together. Skilled labor vanished as other wages rose.

Making a new house used to actually cost less than buying an existing one. Today, the calculation has changed, and it is more expensive, mostly because of the labor costs. They're only able to build in areas where there are fewer available jobs so there's no price pressure.

Literally people leaving the skilled trades because job pricing pressure to work somewhere else. I've even met jr developers that used to be electricians. It's going to be hard to "remember" the trades.

Reminds me of “In churrascarias or the traditional Brazilian-style steakhouse restaurants, servers come to the table with knives and a vertically-held skewer, on which are speared various kinds of premium cuts of meat, most commonly local cuts of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and sometimes atypical or exotic meats.”

Ive found these types of restaurants all over the US -

I'm not denying that the tastiness of beer was a factor.
how does one make up for the sins of the boast though. Sure, there were a few hungry sailors... but a lot of people just liked hunting for sport too.
At least for my family, especially as delivery packaging has improved, restaurants have become an inferior experience unless they are fairly high end.

Grandparents used to take everyone out to dinner regularly. Now we eat at their house. They have more comfortable chairs at home. The environment is much quieter. You don’t have to wait for refills. They personally have better cutlery. We aren’t really the types to like being waited on.

So unless we explicitly want something social from the restaurant or we need a table as we are travelling, the reasons for actually going in one have disappeared.
Satori was a really useful tip for me too.
> I'm saying that it's not a strike if you're just refusing service to a customer.

> is you downing tools and stopping working.

These aren't exclusive, it's just they've downed tools and stopped working for the customer the strike is against. People don't join unions for their employer, they join unions for their industry. Therefore a union can strike against an employer while maintaining working for those not breaking collective agreements.

The performance is fantastic, but if you're installing it on an iPod let's not kid ourselves: It's clunky and awkward in comparison to the stock OS.

I've tried to use the in-built tools to fix it as much as possible, such as hiding the "file browser" from the main page. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any way to rename "Database" to "Music" without recompiling the whole thing, which is what the cranky old guard seem to suggest for any minor UX suggestion on the forums.
Hippocrates did suggest this approach of purifying water so at least educated doctors would've have certainly known that. Also it's not exactly rocket science most people would have probably understood that to some extent. At least that boiling removes "bad" smells and improves the taste (that's what Hippocrates said at least, not how effective that is).
I actually have a solution for this if you have an old apple device handy. You can load a profile on it using Apple Configurator 2 that disables web browsing and restricts which apps can be run. (I seem to remember this working without needing a business account.)

Smart! The buffet my family has gone to the most, Sweet Tomatoes (RIP, COVID-19) didn't really even have meat. You could fish for chicken in the chicken noodle soup, and they had chili, but that was about it.

> Even higher-end buffets, like the $98 brunch at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, employ these tactics: “They hide the truffles, the foie gras, and the oysters,” says Britt. “You literally can’t find them.”

I've never had the $98 brunch, but their downstairs (less expensive) brunch buffet is a pretty good deal. The pricing for kids was especially reasonable when we ate there a few years ago. But nothing will beat their pricing on our honeymoon — they comped us brunch for the whole week!

It doesn't matter. This still applies even if you haven't done anything yet.

Nobody wants to be friends with the kid who narcs on everyone. Show me the man and I'll show you the crime he's committed. Why subject yourself to that?

> with the genetic diversity required to prevent inbreeding

Inbreeding isn't bad, per se. I don't have the reference now, but it has been shown that small populations can (not guaranteed) facilitate species survival by weeding out deleterious mutations. A sub-population founded from a small population is typically more robust than a sub-population of the same size founded from a large population, as the deleterious mutations have been weeded out.

The diversity that's really important for long-term population survival is immune system diversity.

So basically, for species threatened with extinction, it would be more important to remove deleterious mutations than to increase genetic diversity. And possibly also raise the new generation separate, in case the species act like humans and are less likely to mate with those they've grown up with.

They were in no danger of starvation. They hunted dodos and dodo eggs because it was easy to do so.

It's part of the same impulse that encourages us to take care of children, even those children not related to us. And plenty of people feel it for the non-cute animals as well.
I think this is extremely good advice so I'm making a top-level comment to defend it and respond to some of the criticisms in this thread.

First, no one is asking you to lie. This isn't about inventing details or exagerrating. This is about deciding how to answer and phrasing your answer.

Second, "story" in this case means personal anecdote, like the author's hiking example. It is not very closely related to stories in books or games or whatever. What can we say about the stories you tell casually at parties or with friends? Probably that they take less than two minutes, they start with an interesting hook, and they include a problem of some kind and the resolution to that problem. That's what your interview stories should look like.

Ex: Suppose you are asked, "Tell me about a time when you had a disagreement with a coworker and how you resolved it". Compare these two answers:

1) "One time I had a coworker that kind of hated me. I'm not sure what his deal was, we didn't interact all that much and I thought his work was pretty good, but he developed a personal animus towards me and started being rude and picking fights with me on Slack. He ended up getting fired after he threw eggs at my car."

2) "I was leading the effort to fix the critical-but-brittle X service, and I wanted to start by wrapping it in a service with modern deploy and test automation, so we could at least deploy it safely while we fixed it. However, the lead architect was opposed to that plan, because of Y. We worked through it by getting all of the stakeholders together and doing Z.

Which answer is more true? The first one might feel more honest. After all, the "disagreement with a coworker" part is much more central to answer 1 than answer 2. But it's also a terrible answer, because it has fuck all to do with your abilities. It's just a thing that happened to you that happens to meet the criteria the question asked for, but is otherwise not relevant.
This was a thing in Denmark probably 20 years ago, now it's no longer legal to demand union membership for employees. But there was one incident 4 years ago where union members at Kastrup Airport tried to bully a coworker to join them. They even went on strikes three times because of this, with zero effect. Can't tell if the bullying is widespread though.

Little ethnic buffets like the one mentioned at the end are my favorite types of hole in the walls. At that point, it’s about trying a little bit of everything which if you ordered one of everything would be very expensive in comparison with the buffet entry price.
Just read the other comments of this account.

Just making up anti-union statements all over the place.
> Charging customers for food left on the plate is quite reasonable though.

Is it though? What if the food quality is really low? As the article states, it's a place to get rid of some old food items. Do you think you have an obligation to eat it no matter what?
Possibly there's a way to do that. Right now, LLMs aren't architected that way. And no, ChatGPT doesn't do that. The system prompt comes first, hidden from the user and preceding the user input but in the same stream, and there's lots of training and feedback, but all they are doing is making it more difficult for later input to override the system prompt, it's still possible, as has been shown repeatedly.
Fully agreed, Facebook used to be fine for those jokes, only your relatives would scratch their heads, but nobody cared.

Of course, there are way worse jokes one could make on 4chan.
The other amusing tale that came out of Nintendo licensing is that of Ultra Games. It was a pseudonym of Konami so they could exceed the five titles per year cap that Nintendo enforced. As far as I know Nintendo never tried to challenge this legal subterfuge.

tl;dr of my comment and of the whole article:

a) think of the 3-5 best things you've done recently at work

b) practice describing them to a friend (you don't work with) the way you'd tell any other personal anecdote

c) When asked a behavioral "Tell me about a time when" question, instead of trying to comb through your memory of the thousands of experiences you've had at work, just ask yourself which of your 3-5 stories is closest, and tell it

d) if that feels dishonest (and it does to a lot of people!) remember that the whole point of an interview is for you to tell them how great you are. If they knew you had led the effort to fix the critical-but-brittle X service, they would've asked you. They asked a vague open-ended question to give you the latitude to answer however you see fit.

This is a interesting statement, as Stable Diffusion XL implementations vary from "worse than SD 1.5" to "Competitive with DALL-E 3."
Where is lithium made versus where is it used.

For example if there was not enough shipping routes to China from where it's made then that could be an issue. Or if their demand was up, and there wasn't enough unloading capacity for lithium (not sure how this is being shipped over there) then there can be price spikes.
The concern is that the standardization process for the web stack these days consists mostly of the big guys (Google especially) throwing out a draft standard, which then slowly undergoes standardization process even as it is already getting used on the web because devs like new & shiny and/or because the added features genuinely do make something simpler. There aren't that many sites that actively break on Firefox because of this, and when they do, it's usually a temporary thing until they catch up, but as you rightly note, this is largely because devs are still forced to contend with users of other browsers. And the more popular Chrome is, the less of a forcing function that becomes, and the more whatever "draft standard" proposals are in Blink become the de facto standard.

I'm not particularly good at shooters and part of the reason is that I can't seem to be able to hold the mouse perfectly still when clicking.

Rolling the mouse wheel is a different movement and somehow that helps, especially with weapons that are powerful(and thus have significant recoil), but have a relatively low rate of fire.

> No, his whole point was not that.

He says as much - from the same article (next subhead):

As we also noted from the first paragraph of our earlier review of this material, to which we will simply refer here for specifics, “there is no difficulty in documenting major atrocities and oppression, primarily from the reports of refugees”; there is little doubt that “the record of atrocities in Cambodia is substantial and often gruesome” and represents “a fearful toll”; “when the facts are in, it may turn out that the more extreme condemnations were in fact correct,” although if so, “it will in no way alter the conclusions we have reached on the central question addressed here: how the available facts were selected, modified, or sometimes invented to create a certain image offered to the general population. The answer to this question seems clear, and it is unaffected by whatever may yet be discovered about Cambodia in the future.”[28]

"processing" is something people are more comfortable as a description of what computers do, as it sounds more rote and mechanical. Saying the LLM "understands" leads to an uninteresting rehash of a philosophical debate on what it means to understand things, and whether or not an LLM can understand things. I don't think we have the language to properly describe what LLMs can and cannot do, and our words that we use to describe human intelligence; thinking, reasoning, grokking, understanding; they fall short on describing this new thing that's come into being. So in saying human words, I'm saying understanding is something we ascribe to a human, not that there are words that aren't from humans.

SVG + React is really underrated, IMO. You get all the power and abstractions of React, but instead of rendering DOM, you can render arbitrary graphics. I've used this for rendering graphs and charts, and for a certain subset of use-cases, it demolishes Canvas. For instance, if you need a little bit of interactivity, but you don't need anything too graphically crazy like per-pixel manipulation.

e.g., doing hover effects in Canvas is a huge pain because you have to do all the work to figure out which element the mouse is on top of. With SVG you just use builtins like onmouseover!
1. If it's going through a marketplace, having a tracking number makes it harder for the customer to get a refund (we shipped it; it was delivered!)

2. If the customer doesn't use the product right away, having it look close enough means they might not notice its counterfeit until after the N day return window has expired.
