When you've worked in an industry for 40 years and there have been basically no tech advancements in that period, and there's strong political filters to keep everybody voting the right way to grease the fossil fuel interests, it's almost hard to blame a person for getting it wrong.

But that wrongness spread through an industry is also an opportunity for those with deeper insight!
"Taking care of a spouse and/or children is valued at greater than zero."

I'm highly skeptical of how this might be calculated. For example, if you are cooking or doing laundry, it typically includes your own clothes or eating the food. If a kid is involved, they're at least half your responsibility. And whst is the quality of that work? In many cases it's not professional level. Ostensibly, the other spouse has duties to more or less balance it out too, so which tasks are valued higher?

It seems odd to think that all these single people who are doing chores just completely stop when they get married. Sure one party might be doing 2x the cooking, but the other might be doing 2x the maintenance or financial planning. I mean, getting married is supposed to be about taking care of each other and the balance of work is never going to be 1-to-1 as it fluctuates and has different needs at different times. As long as each are contributing reasonably well, they shouldn't be counting pennies against each other. But I guess that's exactly what economists and lawyers are interested in.

Thanks! I went to the relaunched Python meetup group event in LA to talk to their org leads. Nice peeps. They were looking for speakers and places to host as well. Just had it at a beer garden, which seems to be a popular “venue” right now.
I am one of those building an analytics platform.

The reason: out of the tens of projects I tried, this is what customers wanted and were willing to pay for.

It's not even easy to build, it's a lot harder and more complex than some niche-specific tools.

I still do have many other projects, and constantly try new stuff, but this is what worked for me, it was not really my choice, it just happened.
Could you please explain me why 2 would be the correct answer?

You will lose weight, in fact if you cut to 0 for long enough you are guaranteed to lose all soft tissue weight. Can I recommend you the “0 calories till you die” diet? The issue is that:

- many people can cut from a diet of 2200 calories per day to 1800 calories per day and pretty quickly and sustainably lose weight. This kind of calorie reduction is very manageable, and anyone who has lost weight this way starts saying “it’s just CICO man, so easy, just do it”

- meanwhile, in order to lose weight, some (probably not huge but very real) amount of people who maintain at 2200 calories need to drop to 1000 calories per day, or even lower, consistently, for months, in order to lose weight at a 0.5 lb/wk. This is miserable, not sustainable, and probably a net negative on your life (damage not worth the weight loss) unless you are morbidly obese.

The people in category 1 yell “you’re just coping, it’s not hard, just CICO” at group 2. Meanwhile they have never had to reduce calories in that way and have no idea how unsustainable it is. They are so sure their experience is universal, that they usually utterly deny the other groups existence, and smugly go about the world assuming people struggling with weight are just weak.
And hidden away in the footnotes, they hide the fact that they are modeling 4 hours of storage.

It is so blatantly dishonest.
IMO, a library is easily swappable with another library, a framework is not, it's all over your codebase. Htmx meets the definition of the latter.

Google reached out to me a few times to see if I'd interview with them. On the one or two phone calls I had with their recruiters, they explicitly advised me to practice algorithms (leetcode et al) if I wanted to move forward. Perhaps what you were doing was not the norm.
Exactly. That's why I'm wondering if they'll just put a hard limit on GA and other aircraft, e.g., if you don't have ADSB and other upgrades, you can't go into any Class-A, Class-B, Class-C, or Class-D airspace....?

Car rental companies regularly rotate through their fleet. I suspect these are cars that are supposed to go up for resell anyway and they are just not replacing them with equivalents.

EVs are already not a good fit for rental cars - I don't think travelers on vacation want to figure deal with a charging plan. It's also really hard to sell even a luxury sedan as an upgrade when everyone wants an SUV. I'd be curious to know if something like the Rivian would fare better as a premium option.
AI as-is is completely useless for programming, or even counter-productive.
> in part because of the very numbers from 2019 you quoted

I gave those links to show that there are no "numbers". They based the change on modeling results. The modeling results are based on assumptions. The assumptions may or may not be valid.

> > essentially, just "updated models"

> is literally how science is done?

My PhD is in statistical modeling of biological systems. To answer your question: no. Modeling, on it's own, is not "science". I would never suggest to anyone that a statistical model is the same thing as evidence. It's a model, which is based on evidence (maybe), after a thick layer of human meddling.

Modeling can be an input to a scientific process, but it isn't "how science is done". If you want to make a big change to all of health care like this, you need to do the damned experiment -- randomize people, and see what the effect of screening at 45 (vs 50) is on a hard endpoint like overall survival.

I think the "Filogic 820" branding may actually apply to the combination of the MT7981B SoC and the MT7976C NIC. https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/MediaTek seems to have actual detailed specs for these chips. It looks like the MT7981B is what has the ARM Cortex-A53 cores to run Linux, Ethernet, PCIe, and a 2x3:2 radio. The MT7976C is just a NIC with no application processor cores, but it has both a 2.4GHz and 5/6GHz radio. A NIC with two separate radios seems to be a relatively recent development, probably spurred by increased demand for tri-band routers after the opening of the 6GHz band.

More like making people sick is an economic externality. The worst case scenario is a class action lawsuit years after the C-suite has cashed out and whatever income was left to the company coffers has already accrued gains from investments. Even then all one has to do is create a subsidiary to inherit the lawsuit and declare bankruptcy.

I agree with you, though. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the people dumping chemicals everywhere are investing in oncology pharmaceuticals while they wait for the class actions. They know what they're causing.

Well, nowadays the popular managed Git services provide you with a simple way of setting up HTTPS access: you go to some page that generates an "auth token" or something along those lines, depending on the service you use, and they give you the line you should put in your ~/.git-credentials file.

But even if they don't, here's an example for Bitbucket (we use self-hosted Bitbucket at work):

https://$USER:$PASSWORD@bitbucket.$COMPANY.com%3a$PORT

and then in ~/.gitconfig

[credential]
helper = store

The ~/.git-credentials file may contain multiple lines, and it doesn't have the same problem with escaping as, say, ~/.netrc (because stuff that goes into it needs to be URL-encoded). Also, unlike SSH, it can use password-based authentication (you cannot put your SSH password into ~/.ssh/config). So, this solves the part where you want to authenticate to different Git repos.

And if you want to use different personalities for authenticating to the same repo, you can change the location of the ~/.git-credentials file per repo. I was never in a situation where I had more than two roles in the same repo, so, usually, I'd alternate between the global .git-credentials and local-to-repo one. If it becomes really annoying, I'd have two checkouts of the same repo, but with credentials configured for different users.

PS. I would never use a password manger because of trust issues. I don't like random programs having weird integrations with it. Plus, it usually fails to understand the context in which password is to be supplied (eg. tries to show a pop-up window where pop-ups don't work). I store the information I want to be secret encrypted with GPG with a key with a passphrase. I use Emacs to keep a buffer with this file open, if I need passwords and copy from it when necessary. This is less automated and takes extra few seconds to do things that require authentication, but having once lost my password manager database to an upgrade... I'm once burned twice shy.
I agree. I utilize the annual plan so it's a bit cheaper.

Parsing the provided numbers to two IEEE 754 double-precision floats, and then subtracting them, yields 2.0 (due to rounding)

In particular, 9999999999999999.0 rounds up to 10000000000000000.0

(note, this behavior depends on the rounding mode, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754#Rounding_rules )
You would need an awful lot of it over a rationally long period of time though. Also for humans seems to have the opposite effect if anything.
The default PG type, `numeric`, has almost arbitary precision.

select pg_typeof(9999999999999999.0);
-- numeric

select 9999999999999999.0::double precision
- 9999999999999998.0::double precision;
-- 2

More interesting perhaps, is mixing up `real` (aka float32) with `numeric`:

select 9999999999999999.0::real - 9999999999999998.0;
-- 272564226 (?! can anyone explain?)

select 9999999999999999.0::real;
-- 10000000300000000

Nah, you got the right of it. It feels like the end of Usenet all over again, only these days cyber-warlords have joined the spammers and trolls.

Mastodon sounded promising as What's Next, but I don't trust it-- that much feels like Bitcoin all over again. Too many evangelists, and there's already abuse of extended social networks going on.

Any tech worth using should sell itself. Nobody needed to convince me to try Usenet, most people never knew what it was, and nobody is worse off for it.

I’ve enjoyed using Emacs as a programming editor and environment since 2011 — for JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Clojure, Bash, Racket/Scheme, Python, Perl, Nim, among others, it’s worked great and keeps getting better with e.g. the arrival of LSP support.
Your attitude here is confusingly hostile.

But sure! If I have a server I currently use OpenSSH to connect then I certainly _could_ airgap the machine and require anyone using it to be in physical proximity to it. But don't you think that might be unrealistic in the vast majority of scenarios?

Many people blaming the usual suspects: microplastics and general pollution. These things no doubt contribute significantly.

Sedentism is likely another cause. Seems kids are more sedentary these days. Sitting still and consuming phone/video entertainment.

But another, perhaps even more serious suspect: stress & depression.

It's unbelievable just how physically damaging emotional stress can be.

I think that people want to stay baffled and stay blaming material exogenous causes, rather than look at themselves, their culture, and what they're doing (and not doing) to their youth.

Increasing surveillance & "safety" culture. Talk of rights, but not responsbilities, not purpose. Abandonment of religion and the deep traditional values, purpose. The massive increase in population and competition. Pressure to work hard and earn. But no matter how much you do, how hard you work, you'll still never be able to afford that house. You're just living to support the elderly, the lucker generations. Feels just like being born into servitude. No dreams to follow, no passions, even simple ones, like just wanting a place to live and a family. Can't even have that. We see our futures, and it's grim. We're resigned to the grim darkness, and our bodies resigns with us.
It's unmanned because it's a testbed.

I’ve worked in both Godot and React Native. I wouldn’t say you are eliminating any complexity.... You are just trading one UI system for another. UI by its nature is complex and requires a lot of “code”. In the Godot case you might be doing less coding in the “typing letters on a keyboard” way, but you still need to figure out the UI controls and fiddle with the settings in the properties panel until you get it juuuust right. The final product is still saved as code, in tscn scene files.
