> I’m not sure that the choice of the language matters a great deal for an intro course to be honest

Huge disagreement from me! The choice might not matter for the already motivated students who were going to learn to code no matter the language, but for folks on the fringe of CS the language matters immensely. There are arguments to be made about frustration, developer experience, grokability, but imo the most important is distance between code and gui. It’s very motivating to build something you can interact with. It’s very demotivating to work on contextually-meaningless algorithm problems.
There are certainly worse places on the internet
This is the classic problem for photography for example, which is a hobby of mine.

You see a lot of hobbyists elbow into paid work, to the detriment of people actually making a living of it. It puts a ceiling on what people are willing to pay for the typical work - engagement, wedding, headshot photography for example.

Photojournalism is a bit of a weird case because, in my opinion at least, its always been populated by nepobabies and other sorts who weren't commanding proper living wages because they didn't really have to.
Tracking needs more space, so that works against them. If you are limited by space you would go for fixed tilt.
I was never "can't function" level, but stopping caffeine did open my eyes to how much of a fog I was in until the caffeine was dripped in. After a month or so of no caffeine I started realizing I could just wake up and feel instantly as alert as I normally would an hour or so into my day when taking caffeine.

But ultimately it comes down to sleep. Caffeine just masked sleep problems. If I don't sleep well, I still crave it. If I sleep well, I don't think about it anymore.
Really great overview!

I've been tracking some of them for a while as part of evaluating which ones to add to my key-value abstraction library gokv [1], but others only noticed recently. It's really interesting that there's no single most popular implementation, but new ones emerging and gaining popularity regularly.

I’ve been surprised by how good ChatGPT is at this, I took a picture of squid ink and mushroom pasta, which I made last night, and identified the entire meal accurately, including the garnish on top. If you take a second to think about this, it’s actually incredible.
Even keeping their weapons but saying they'll try to live in peace with Israel would be a huge change. However it's part of Hamas's founding charter to destroy Israel and they aren't prepared to give it up, which then leads the the jolly situation we have now.
I wonder if it's possible to design the next AI systems along with the hardware at the same time. For example, maybe by focusing on more approaches like mixture of experts or similar, there are ways to keep much of the data close to the cores that operate on it.

The new language is still unclear. Sure, technical users were aware that Incognito mode doesn't stop websites from "collecting data". What's unclear is if this data is then used to associate the activity in Incognito mode with the logged in profile outside of Incognito.

We can safely assume that this is the case, but Google would likely never admit it unless prodded by the government. And governments are barely now realizing what cookies are.

Google is pushing their "privacy-friendly" narrative with their FLoC initiative and intentions to kill cookies. The reality is that they haven't had a need for cookies to track users for many years. FLoC is a red herring so that they can signal to regulators and users that they're a privacy-conscious company, while behind closed doors it's business as usual. And business is booming.

Close your Google account. De-Google your phone. Use ungoogled-chromium or Mullvad Browser. Urge others to do the same. And for the HN crowd: stop working for companies that exploit humanity.

I wouldn't be telling anyone to implement crappy password policies as a workaround.

I'd tell them to do it properly or not at all, and remind them that in many jurisdictions, knowingly implementing poor data controls earns you some actionable liability. PII is no joke.

This isn't controversial when you're telling people you can't do your own gas work without certification, or electrics without experience. It's okay to demand competence.

When storage is the primary goal, something like the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project[0] might make more sense. Basically, bunch of mirrors shining onto a central tower where it heats up molten salt, which is then used to produce steam and run a generator. The key advantage here is that you can just store the hot molten salt in a tank and turn it into steam some time later.

The thing is, PV has gotten so cheap that it might just turn out to be more economical to simply collect the sun with PV and heat the salt with essentially a huge resistor so the energy can be stored for later use.

Are we talking "startups" or "small businesses" here? I could see this blowing up startups for sure, but the conversation was about small businesses and I'm not sure I see the connection there. In my conception of the universe, you're not rolling out multiple hundreds of thousands of salary when you're hanging out your small-business shingle. You might grow to it, but that'll be over a long period of time.
Yes, I wonder how much this is the issue? During the craziness of 2020-2022 people's salary expectations went through the roof.
This is the same train of thought as saying we shouldn’t use debuggers because programmers will get lazy and stop thinking through the code, or that we shouldn’t have any programming layers higher than assembly because they’re less efficient and everyone should just write everything in assembly.

Keeping something more difficult just for the sake of “smarter people” will never be a compelling argument to me. Consider those same smart people could be doing something meaningfully challenging in the new time they’ve saved by having a brute force problem automated.

This is obviously not as time consuming, but the criticism is not based on an effective ideology.
maybe they just got sick of script kiddies bloating their users table with lame hacking attempts. This might discourage them.
Many, many years ago my friends and I were out in the East Village (NYC).

We went out for drinks and then to recharge we walked to a pizzeria (I assume 24 hours) to get a few bites.

While I don’t normally drink I found I can hold my own with whiskey and I must’ve had about 10 (expensive!!) double shots over the course of 2 hours. Needless to say I was pretty buzzed.

Anyway, another group picked a fight with one of my friends; a hot pizza was thrown at the instigator’s face and a small brawl ensued. While I’m. it physical, when one of my friends tripped I weighed out how to help (mostly made them
pause, so friend didn’t get stomped); then shortly after NYPD showed up.

Held hand up to show that I wasn’t a threat; saw the pepper spray out and the officer’s panicked face; and I closed my eyes because I knew what would happen.

After running away as a group—thankfully the witnesses pointed out the instigators and some sympathetic bouncers let us cut through another club—I also had the presence of mind to buy a quart of milk—reasoning the fat and cool liquid would help—to ready myself against the burn.

The point: Some individuals can be pretty trashed but still retain planning skills, concerns of responsibility.

The baker clearly fell into this category.

Sidenote: I’m glad it didn’t get into my eyes, but wow did the spray burn…even with milk.

For some considerable subset of Americans the roundabout is an indecipherable creature that induces fear an panic. For a bit I lived in a more modern US neighborhood filled with them, including some larger ones on the main streets. Some people treat an empty roundabout like a stop sign coming up to it. Others panic and stop inside the 'about waiting for entering traffic. Then you get the occasional rebel that demands to go the wrong way.

I do like the roundabouts, but there are a lot of people still untrained in their ways.
I remember a lot of adults in the mid 90's primarily watching reruns from 70's and 80's. The main factor is nostalgia, not some inherent flaw in modern shows.
>... but if you're familiar with evangelical Christian culture, this line gets used to justify all sorts of behavior and life decisions that might go against what one would traditionally expect a devour Christian to avoid.

Religion being used that way isn't limited to evangelicals nor Christianity. In fact, it's basically the reason people are mocking the phrase.
People lose a lot of weight on beer only fasts… there is also a long history of trappist monks doing beer only fasts for religious reasons, and presumably losing a lot of weight.

My understanding is they are usually using high carb low alcohol beer, so it’s more of a liquid only low fat diet than an alcohol diet.
This story made the rounds in Spain when it first happened and was most likely false and staged.

If you take the innards out of any model Mac and 3D print your own mounts, you can get some crazy density. There's basically nothing in them.
The same line of reasoning could be used to justify creationism.

Human culture is an incredibly complex system that can create shared behaviors without any central coordination. While I’m not in agreement (or disagreement) with the parent, it’s certainly plausible without the coordination you’re implying.

I think this one is a little more nuanced than that. I haven't bought any of Dawson's courses and definitely don't plan to now, but this is not a person advertising a "get-rich-quick" scheme. At least not from the impression I've gotten from his podcast. Plenty of people pay for courses, coaching, etc in the tech space. Some of those are scammy, and others are people just legitimately teaching you what they know and not making flowery promises about it. It's the same in other industries.

At the same time, I'm always suspicious by default of someone selling these kinds of things, even if they aren't obvious "I will make you rich" claims. If someone seems to be making more income from teaching people to do a thing than actually doing that thing, I get wary. Of course this has nuance as well - I would not be inherently suspicious of a university professor teaching full time. But a self-published author teaching you to run Facebook ads? Good educators _do_ exist in that space, but there needs to be a smell test there.

As for "doing your own thing", if you have a goal-oriented reason for doing something you can benefit from seeing how other people successfully did that thing. Sure, you can bumble along on your own "doing your own thing" and eventually luck out or figure it out (or maybe not), but often that tends to be a bad strategy.

My point was, maybe it is a single number! It's whatever We The People decide, and it doesn't vary: a ton of CO2 released into the air does the same damage no matter what released it. You could spend it saving orphans, and it wouldn't make the CO2 heat the planet any less, and it wouldn't remove the need to find a new way to save orphans that doesn't emit CO2.

Indeed, examining the quote below...

> So you either get more CO2 released than you would with an externality tax or you get less CO2 released than you should given that you can mitigate against that particular CO2 release

...it's easy to miss the point that there's no such thing as "less CO2 released than you should" because the amount we should is negative: not only should we be emitting zero (not net zero, literally zero), and then we must do the mitigations on top of that.

In short, we've tried the existing carbon credit scheme without rationing the available credits, and it hasn't worked to achieve the goal. We need to try something different now.

Re: the money/time

The thing is that gamedev is one of the few industries you reliably hear people bully 60/80/100 hour weeks outside of say - medicine, law, finance. Or startups where you grind for a couple years hoping the lottery ticket of your equity pays off.

However, it does not pay anything near medicine, law, or finance wages. Nor do you get equity like a startup. And the labor practices of game studios in terms of benefits, layoffs, etc have always sounded far worse.

If the ROI is worth it for you, great (and $160k ain't bad to be fair, I've heard lower than that in gamedev). People just need to go into it with eyes wide open though and not foreclose their options early (by overly focussing on gamedev niche coursework in college for example).
Nowadays even the conspiracy theories are becoming ugly and boring. The only thing they've got going for them is how many people are spreading them.

I agree that investment in the city of New Brunswick seems like a great idea for the reasons you stated. At the same time, it just feels so grand and historic to walk the same halls as the likes of Shannon, and it's a bit sad that I may not be able to see it again. (I've only visited a handful of times to work on some joint projects though). Hopefully the new lab space/equipment will be very modern and efficient though! One last thought...

I'd argue that voting predominantly for one party or another doesn't identify the unaffiliated individual as a member of the party who's candidates they vote for. It absolutely doesn't identify the whole unaffiliated voting block as having any secret party affiliation. Telling the whole party system to take a hike is an active choice and it happens in counties that only allow a single political party as often as it happens in countries like the US where there are only really two choices.

It’s not consistent.

It takes time for all nodes to come to agreement and in that time I am able to request _technically_ out of date info from a node.

Consistency is often the one CAP that isn’t prioritized because if the network isn’t consistent for a few seconds, the application probably still works and that’s the case for bitcoin.

The network is “eventually consistent”

I blame house flippers honestly. They buy up houses that are in rough shape on the cheap, then renovate strictly to sell, not for personal taste. The incentives at play are to shoot for a very dull, milquetoast instagram-ish aesthetic that anyone can sort of get along with, so you won't lose people for not liking whatever hardwood or paint colors you picked.
How does this compare to Resilio Sync, which is basically free or can be bought across platforms for like $50 I think?

Yeah St Pete is highly underrated in FL tech. Lot of interesting tech companies in the downtown core. I use to work for a Shopify-esque e-commerce platform that was built with React and Go in 2014. It was my first professional job after doing various jquery freelance work for a year prior.

I learnt quite a bit there about proper software engineering.

It makes me extremely happy to see the company still kicking around, with mostly the same people still but now in leadership positions.
