Why new hires often get paid more than existing employees
This approach acts like a sales tool, which I think is better all around.
Yeah; if just used for hot water, this doesn’t make much sense compared to a hybrid heat pump water heater. Here in California, with a well insulated/partially passively heated/cooled house, our hot water is well under 10% of our electricity bill (ignoring our EV).

In places where it’s really hot or cold, it would be an even lower percentage. The money that it would cost to trench and maintain the hot water distribution lines for a house would probably be better spent on heat pumps, architectural features or upgraded insulation (Even just $2000 of extra insulation does an amazing amount of good vs. bare minimum code insulation, and I doubt you can get district hot water installed for less than that.)
I think the #1 reason for these regulations wasn’t compatibility, it was safety. People die in fires, railway accidents, aviation disasters, and from waterborne infections.
Non-US based publicly traded companies would likely not have to follow guidelines of the American IRS?

(Though, of course, that might be wrong. American SEC tries to have global jurisdiction, whether you want them to apply to you or not. Matt Levine writes about that a lot in his 'Money Stuff'.)
Your comparison is indeed thoughtful. I would note a counterexample, though: an expensive restaurant with a very simple description gives no guarantee that you will be delighted, while some inexpensive places (possibly with basic ads) might offer something very delightful.

I see it as the crossover between approaches amenable to static order and iteration, vs those that demand constraint optimization.

This is a recurring problem in programming, because if you code towards the optimal result, you end up making a static, linearized computation that doesn't need further configuration. But if your goal is to provide interfaces and automation, you are tasked with a constraint problem, where you have multiple potential solutions and you either have to filter them down to a single unambiguous result, or find a heuristic that defines the "best one".

The problem occurs with type systems, graphical layout, multi-body physics simulation, dependency management and a host of other things. I consider it the most unaddressed subject in CS because it's so relevant to applications and yet industry continually reinvents it in terms of a bespoken algorithm for that one application.

And depending on what you're doing, you end up biasing to one or the other method first: a small, well-defined problem only needs the computer to do "brute" things, while a problem dependent on the computer managing the complexity of the problem needs it to find and correct errors.
It was always going to be a struggle to compete with Threads.

But if you don't bring your A-game when you're competing against the world's best social media company then what is the point. Meta is already feeding behavioural data into Instagram's ads which means they have no need to monetise it anytime soon. And the free advertising they are running on Instagram/Facebook is bringing in new users at a rapid pace. What advantages does BlueSky have ?

And the fact that there are no AT protocol servers means that you have the ActivityPub ecosystem with such a huge head-start and likely set to dominate in 2024.
It probably counts as an installed app in the play store?
Why would short grain brown rice have less amylopectin than short grain white rice?
>I also love learning about mechanical engineering and manufacturing, but have never actually tried making anything.

I strongly recommend you hire professionals for this. I've worked as a Product Manager for physical products. There is a gulf of knowledge between designing something in CAD and designing something that will endure the rigors of toasting for 20 years. The previous sentence doesn't even cover the gulf of knowledge between taking a prototype to a design that's meant for mass production.

I'm interested in creating a portfolio of open source appliances. Stuff that will last for life (or is at least repairable). If it's a "smart" applicance and open source, you don't need to worry about your appliance spying on you or being at the whims of a vendor who bricks your device for whatever reason.
Perhaps more relevant for Amazon, but not for France?
The point is that paying YouTube now is encouraging them to do that in the future.

The whole thing is enshitification. YouTube is now making their product worse in order to push people to pay them more for it. Those who go along with this are likely to keep on paying as they gradually increase prices while reducing functionality.

Those who choose refuse to pay more to avoid having hour long unskippable ads and other nonsense are telling YouTube that this whole process will not be better for them in the long run. That they are fighting an unwinnable battle.

I get it when people were willing to pay before. Maybe they actually care about having YouTube Music, and they liked it as a convenient way to pay creators, and also chip in a bit for YouTube. What I don't get are those who choose to pay now that YouTube has started deliberately making their service worse by adding a ton more ads and now trying to keep you from blocking them.

And I very much do not understand anyone who is okay with any company going after adblock users, as you're just encouraging the Internet to get worse--either showing more ads or having to pay to access.

CompUSA and Borders have a special place in my heart. I'm from a 3rd world country, so visiting them was a sacred ritual anytime I had the privilege to visit the US. I always brought an extra bag mostly for books, and sometimes a Sound Blaster, some extra memory or a US Robotics card, or a fancy Handspring Visor and some Dreamcast games :)

Yep I've encountered so so many of these too. It's amazing how obvious they are even to the most primitive filter, so I'm just at a complete loss as to why X/Twitter is so disincentivized to fix it ... especially given Elon's spiel about removing bots from the platform.
The sum total of a life can’t be reduced to an algorithm. We are so much more than that!

A human actor brings the sum of their life to each role. Joy, anger, fear, sadness; these can’t be felt by an LLM running on an Nvida chip in some random data center.

Our humanity matters, and it saddens me that you don’t seem to share that belief.
I've heard there's a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap to people who have it. Being that celery and cilantro are related, I wonder if there's something similar going on? Celery certainly doesn't taste anything remotely like lighter fluid or turpentine to me. Maybe even the same gene?

Cost of entry is immense. As with anything medical or food and drug related, there are large (and expensive) obstacles to hurdle before any product can enter the market. It's a rather difficult market to get into without a large amount of capital at your disposal.

I don’t think it’s that ridiculous (the next obvious goalpost being producing your own silicon), but since microservices means your DB is purely for your service, it stands to reason that you should also then know how to configure, backup, maintain, and tune the DB.

This is of course a wildly unrealistic ask, which is why I think the idea of merging jobs to save money is stupid. Let people who like frontend do frontend. Let people who like DBs do DBs. Let people who tolerate YAML do DevOps.
I haven't seen much in the way of pop-up toasters, but for toaster ovens, at least, they have really taken it above and beyond. Plenty of made-in-Japan models too. Unfortunately, toasters are one of those appliances that can be sensitive to grid voltage, so a toaster bought in Japan might not work as well in other countries.
If I had money and was looking for a high end toaster, I'd pay $200+ for a European toaster like SMEG. It'd be more for the aesthetics than the functionality.

When you're paying that much money for a functional item, you're buying into a story. When you have a SMEG appliance, you're buying a sophisticated identity and a conversation piece. You're telling people you appreciate Dieter Rams type industrial design.

Somehow a Made in Michigan toaster doesn't have the same cachet. Neither do Black and Deckers or Cuisinarts.

(that said, Breville from Australia is getting away charging $200 for its toasters)

I mean, I can see a positive reading of the other “kind” description, the Midwest. And I think it is sort of telling that the original commenter felt the need to sort of balance it out with a negative note about perceptions of outsiders, there.

Fine, you could quibble about perspectives for most of the other ones, but it seems like an abjectly negative description of the South.
>Problem is, many VMware users are set in their ways and want an exact and 1:1 replacement, without even considering they were only doings things that way because that was the only tool they knew and had at their disposal, not because it's actually a good way of doing things.

There were some scenes where Riker on the bridge asked the computer essentially a SQL query: "give me a list of star systems with parameters that fit X and cross-reference by Y..." "There are 3 systems which fit your query: ..."
OK now I'm starting to think we live in the matrix - I've spend the last 24 hours (unemployed currently, you see) looking at toasters and designs, with the same idea. And because my toaster just broke.

The state of toasters seems quite dire. Most are basically the same mechanism internally with different style covers.

Some quick learnings/thoughts:

- why are they open at the top? Some expensive Japanese toasters are more like grills or ovens, and sealing in steam seems to be key to their hyped results.

- commercial toasters and some like west bend have 'drop thru' toasting, where the toast drops out of the bottom when done instead of popping up. Nice design.

- Two slot toasters always power both slots even when toasting one slice.

- Many toasters don't allow you to change the timer mid-toast. I mean you can change it, but it doesn't do anything until next cycle. Also few indicate how much time is left.

- crumb trays don't work for many toasters, they're too narrow compared with all the places crumbs fall.

- expensive 'old school' toasters like Dualit just don't have the features, and are too clunky.

- the toasters with windows toast much more slowly (use tube heaters instead of a 'grid' of nichrome) and the window is useless anyway since the heater element makes everything orange.

- One thing I find amusing is some reviewers are testing these $100,$200 toasters with regular supermarket chorleywood bread. I mean at least toast some actual bread, not foam.
I have to agree with this. It is a superfluous philosophy quip.

It's no secret that random numbers' cannot pop out of nowhere.

I see these "When Random Isn't" type articles every year or so. It's just poor implementations where the procedures to produce random numbers have been suboptimal for their intended outcomes.
I feel like there must be better options than resistive heating to melt the snow.

For example instead of a separate visor for each light, use a single visor that covers all three lights. And maybe angle the whole thing forwards slightly so that there isn't even a vertical surface for snow to rest on - gravity would simply cause it to fall off.

It was a completely custom system built by another internal team at the company I was at. Once word got out, other people copied the system and tailored it for their needs.

So it was definitely not a general purpose reusable system.

I’ve talked to other people working at other large companies in the 90’s and they had similar experiences. I think either multiple people at different places recognized the need and value of systems like these before they were widely written about, or word was getting around in some circles. Not sure which.

A bit presumptive but the answer to that is likely ads. Unless they try the whole premium subscription model like Twitter (X) and realize nobody cares that much to pay $5/mo for social media.

I don't think having a great liberally-licenced microkernel-based OS is as good for the world in a practical sense compared to forcing every Android and Chromebook vendor to publish the changes they made to a copyleft monolithic kernel. I can totally understand being worried that the rise of Fuchsia would result in a dark age for running alternative open source OSes on cheap consumer smartphones, SBCs and ARM64 laptops.
I saw that, but didn’t consider it particularly cheap. Also, the power draw of this things is also likely a concern if run continuously.

From TFA, the author mentions things like `date` having different args on Mac (BSD utils) and Linux (GNU utils). While true, you can just install GNU utils on a Mac, and get access to all of those, prefixed by g (e.g. GNU sed is launched with gsed).

The US is probably the worst launch market. The FDA regulates hearing aids so any new product would have to go through the FDA validation process, which is expensive.

Edit: I may have misread your comment, my apologies! I'm only loosely familiar with the US regulation on this matter and completely unfamiliar with other countries' regulations but I'd find it hard to believe there's any country more expensive to launch in for a medical device than the US, so for the OP I'd agree with you that the US should probably be a later market to target.

> If something will make your partner happy, why not do it? Imagine how overjoyed Frances would feel, how special she would feel, if Michael responded - 'hey, if it bothers you, it won't happen again', and maybe, with a wicked smile 'but I'm going to need to look at you a lot more.'

I think he knows he won't keep that commitment. He doesn't want to lie to her, even though it would score immediate points. I can respect that on some level.

But constantly gawking at random women for long enough durations to be obvious to the wife is both strange and cruel. Not to mention how it probably feels to the women. 1939 might have predated women's studies and ideas like the male gaze becoming mainstream, but I think we underestimate the extent that people one basic right and wrong in these situations without the benefit of academic analysis. I think most guys notice attractive women around them but have the decency and discipline to not gawk.
If you search the web "How to prevent arterial damage," most of the search results point to a heart healthy diet / lifestyle. As well all my doctors have advised the same thing (primary care who retired, current primary care and my kidney doctor).

Here's an exert from one of the sites "American Heart Association's (AHA) "Life's Simple 7" steps for heart health were 10 times more likely to have low blood pressure and flexible arteries than those who didn't.

The AHA's steps include controlling cholesterol, keeping blood sugar low, being active, eating a healthy diet, keeping off extra weight, and not smoking. (The seventh step is maintaining normal blood pressure, which the researchers were already measuring.)"

My lifestyle (what i eat and many times a week exercise) is pretty close to following all those steps. I definitely could follow it better as well become a vegetarian.

All my posts here are just sharing what I did to increase my kidney function, lessen amount of gout attacks (5 to 6 in 8 years isnt a ton ... im not taking any meds for it) and try to keep my cholesterol in check.. all without getting on medications that my kidney doc says meds will damage your kidney. This is just what helped me and Im a huge believer in what you put in your body matters. Others can try to do the same thing if they want there is no harm in living a healthier lifestyle. Yet it may or may not work for them but they can try and stick to it and see. All what's important to them .. eating tasty unhealthy food and having their health decline further or better their health and in turn their quality of life hopefully over a longer period of time.
I have worked on sites that do this (sorry)

Filtering spam from engaged traffic is a big one. News sites tend to do it in the vein of TikTok: users can quickly scroll to the next post if bored, instead of leaving. Some e-commerce sites do it to product descriptions and their ilk for the modern equivalent of keyword stuffing.

Yes they did break rules. They misclassified it's failure as hazardous instead of catastrophic, and deliberately implemented a SPOF architecture that had to get refactored to include both sensors. Then they misrepresented it as requiring no additional training.

There was a lot done against regulations at a minimum, and damn well don in bad faith with respect to the public.

> my point with linking this library was just to demonstrate that accessibility and IMGUI are not inherently incompatible.

Once again, all major GUI toolkits and browser are implemented on top of immediate mode graphics APIs, so you continue to beat this straw man argument. Obviously everything is ultimately immediate mode. No one was refuting those points and sorry they’re not particularly informative.

The point is you’re just rearranging where that state lives and who manages it. You’re retaining it somewhere. But your app is not the best place to manage a lot of this state (as even egui itself admits), it belongs in a well tested library.

Once you start using dirty rectangles, someone has to keep track of them. What benefit is it to me to drive when to call the apis for those details?

IMGUI has a certain elegance where your answer to that is to just say fuck it, and that works well for like a game editor. (The point about accessibility was not that it can’t be done but IMGUI rarely gets actually used where this is ever done). Because if your answer isn’t fuck it to all those things than just go get a library to it for you, which will be managing that state.

I think a lot of people pining for IMGUI really just want sane data binding. Which is understandable, but IMGUI is often throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Like honestly read that egui advantages/disadvantages. That’s a lot of cons (that first one woo) for that one pro (which is not even inherent to all retained APIs).
Dunno.

I do agree SML's type system feels elegant and useful at first, and becomes suddenly quite limiting when attempting the kind of domain modeling or library level genericity you'd do in e.g Java.

On the other hand, isn't the hashmap use case you mention addressed with the module system and functors ? Like the set abstraction described in this SO answer [0].

Wondering where my understanding of your message or SML fall short.
