Perhaps different but connected - in my mid-30s I realized that I had "maxed out" travel. I was going to 20+ countries a year between work and pleasure and was super-confident that you can drop me anywhere in the world and I'll figure it out.

In contrast, I realized that I didn't have a ton of experience "staying." Naively, settling down, marrying, having kids, buying a house sounds "boring" compared to picking up and going to Senegal on a whim, but at this point of my life the boring was much more of the adventure and unknown than the whirlwind.

Looking back on it, I am definitely growing and learning much more from being a husband, a dad, a homeowner, neighbor, etc than I would from going on another 20 trips.
Initially hormonal BC was invented for men, but the side effects annoyed the male doctors, so they transitioned to female BC.
Won't freeze, but extreme temp. difference might lead to long term damage.

Also, I don't think prehistoric humans, living in colder climates, had to endure long term exposure to direct wind at ~8m/s, used machines that created such scenarios, or relied on feeding themselves by running after prey.
I have been frustrated a bit with them as well because in the last few months, more often than not, a droplet hangs without any issues and they cannot tell us why. The only way is to reboot it. We were paying them over 5K/Month for some of our services and now I am moving everything to AWS EC2. Yes, I know that AWS can have its own issues but i have found their support to be better and so far more reliable infra than DO. I love DO for its simplicity and cost but lost trust recently due to those "droplets hanging suddenly" issues.
Turkey is trying to modulate inflation, not tame it. The goal is to attract foreign manufacturers to come an set up shop in Turkey. It's very favorable to be using $USD/$EUR to buy labor/material in Turkey right now.

Turkey however doesn't exactly have the stability, skills, or logistics necessary right now for big names to relocate. So they are likely suffering for not much gain.
Everything is poison at some dose, but that isn't the discussion it seems.

I recently saw that ZeroSpace is raising money. Looks like StarCraft 2 and the investor brochure confirmed that there's lots of ex-Blizzard on the team.
that may very well be the case but perhaps there could be an evolution of the language because for newcomers the idea that the from clause is evaluated/executed/defined first is a pain point.

Newbies I help sometimes wonder why things they reference in the SELECT part aren't visible/available in the FROM clause and that's because one is selecting the result of FROM ... JOIN ... WHERE etc anyway
I echo this sentiment. I pay for Bitwarden because it is convenient _and_ I know that I will be able to keep it alive if needed.

Of course, the other side of the coin is that you have to be careful with the price point, if you move it up too much I might want to self host despite the inconvenience.

This is an impressive piece of engineering, but I already have a collaborative code editor. It's called vim+tmux, and I can use it over hardware going all the way back to the 80s. The older I get, the more I feel that if I can't use it over a VT220, I don't want it.

There was some report published here a few years ago that I'm too lazy to look up that did it cost analysis of City infrastructure and found that cities make money in the highly dense impoverished areas and lose money in the Richer areas simply because of the cost of distance that roads, pipes, cops, etc have to travel down.

That, of course reminded me of the New Orleans shotgun and the reason for it: for a while, property taxes were based on linear frontage feet, directly proportional to the length of the road in front of the house, because that was its cost to the government according to the rational French...

Good old times, when the web was simple, and more decentralized
In my most Hotep-y daydreams, I've sometimes wondered if this is the timeline where a group of scrappy, persecuted white dudes traveled back in time to make sure that Western civilization would become the primary world power (instead of, like, an expansionist ancient China or Egypt or Persia).

This book changed my life

The author got a lot of complaints for abusing HTML and became an early advocate for CSS and the semantic web.
You don’t need the same level of coverage on the thousands of miles of track in deserted rural areas as you do where the trains are frequently stopped in urban areas where millions of people live. As trains have been getting longer to reduce staffing costs they have been leaving them on the tracks rather than in fenced in yards, so those specific areas are where they need security guards.
There is a Michellin starred restaurant operating in Greenland that people travel all that way to. Sometimes certain things succeed despite choosing circumstances that work against them and not because of those choices. That same restaurant would be making a lot more money if it moved to New York city but the Chef probably doesn't want that.

Private Eye would have more money and more eyeballs if it had a sufficient online presence but the simple answer is Ian Hislop doesn't want that and I would imagine he would say "We're doing just fine, having not invested a lot in to online presence for Private Eye" and he'd be right.

What works for Private Eye might not work for the New York Times.
Same here. I couldn't resist rereading that multiple times. It was a head scratcher. Gives me the impression that the author doesn't understand the details, which further undermines their arguments.
The only thing it shows is the collapse of Sports Illustrated. Just look at any of their recent magazines, especially the swimsuit issues to see how far they’ve gone out of their way to alienate their audience. I mean, one of the covers for the swimsuits this year was Martha Stewart. Who is that for?
Interesting.
I think I didn’t explained myself very well.

I feel lonely, but I’m not depressed/anxious about it. I’m quite happy really, although this disturbs me, as to why I opened this thread.
The server side image map.

True story. I am the worlds worst web programmer, that is I am not a web programmer, I am a sys-admin that occasionally makes web based tooling. And as such my web skills are stuck in the early 2000's. On top of that I have this terrible aversion to javascript(I am already writing a code generator in one language to create a second language, now you want me to throw a third language on top of that... no thanks). On one of my recent tools I needed to do some basic operations involving points on a picture. it probably would have been 5 lines of javascript, the only 5 lines of javascript in the whole infernal thing. No thanks, I won't be having any of that in my program, I am going with server side image maps... in 2023... yeah. So now instead of 5 lines of JS I now have 50 lines of python managing state and a special case in the request handler to handle the screwball fragment syntax.

I cringe a little, but am also strangely enough, a little proud of getting the thing to work at all.
I'm using averages for both which should generally account for variations over time, but at any given moment the total percentage would change. I'm not educated enough on the topic to know how much though. My guess is there's a large baseline energy cost to running a chiller system, while a modern servers have a fairly low idle power draw (see some of my sources, it's pretty interesting how far we've come in this department).
This is silly. No one can "make chips on their own" except for China/Taiwan. Even the US would be limited to manufacturing small quantities for military/research purposes that are several generations behind the state of the art. Consumer electronics would become a scarce commodity very quickly.
I laughed out loud the first time I heard the band name "Gym Class Heroes" because I instantly identified with part of what you said in terms of some kids hating gym class.

On the other hand, I think that there are kids who are coordinated/sporty/physically talented and just as we celebrate and nurture the academic talents of academically talented kids, I think it's good to celebrate and nurture the talents of physically talented kids. Not everyone is going to excel at academics and if we steer schools to only encourage excellence in certain areas, I think we risk discouraging those who excel in other areas from feeling good about themselves.
Until you encounter a more complex example. Now it is "Select green apples from the refrigerator, insert more milk into the refrigerator, and remove any expired items from the refrigerator" which is less natural.

In contrast, the father of SQL, Alpha, allowed: "From the refrigerator, select the green apples, insert more milk, and remove any expired items."

There’s a pretty high overlap between those groups, and I wish they’d be more aggressive at taking away licenses from people who refuse to drive safely. Running a red light twice in a year should suspend your driving privileges for the next year.
That is true, but Russia getting closer to (or dependent on) China is a loss anyway.
Small discovery is highly underrated. Reminds me of how earlier London taxi license required the "Knowledge" a deep understanding of routes and wayfinders.

Storing Continuous Profiling Data in ClickHouse
So, so much time spent on DynamicDrive. It was the future. Thanks for the reminder!
yeah i noticed that too, whats so hard to just get a simple editor that gets the job done without so much wasted energy and code.
It's always frustrating to me that the order matters at all. I understand SQL can be complex to parse, but surely we are smart enough to come up with a parser that doesn't care whether FROM is before or after SELECT?

HoneySQL lets us define queries with maps, like {:select [:col1 :col2] :from :table}, and turns that into SQL. In a better world, SQL would be structured data like HoneySQL, and the strange SQL syntax we know and love would be a layer on top of that, or wouldn't exist.
> what is something that an average conscious human can do, thanks to presumed consciousness, that a GPT-4 couldn’t do and why is consciousness required for that?

Consciousness isn’t required for anything. It’s useful for dealing with a complex and adverse environment not solving any specific problem.

That said, without testing I would assume if ask chat GPT-4 to change how quickly it responds it’s going to fail based on my understanding of their architecture. As in recite the pledge of of allegiance inserting 10 second pauses between each word. That said having provided a specific test it’s possible for that particular capability to have already been added to the UI layer via a pause token or something even if the model itself responds at the same rate.
People tend to want to best of both worlds. They want to "own their software" (i.e., pay once, use forever) but they also want the benefits of SaaS: low up-front investment, cloud services, continual evolution, network effects, etc.

Photoshop is an easy example: would you rather pay $400 up front to have version X.X forever, or $10/mo forever to always have the latest version. That's a tradeoff! Consumers have voted with their wallets on #2.

Cloud services are even harder because you start talking hardware. "Owning Photoshop" is easy because it runs on my computer. I'm maintaining my computer for me and only me. What would "owning their software" even look like for, I donno, Github? Are you running your own AWS instance? Are other people running their own instances?

There are ways to build P2P software, or on-prem enterprise stuff... but no one really wants to buy it. They're ok paying $10/mo for the billions of dollars of infrastructure because there's really no other way to do it.
No, I've never seen them (not that I'm an electrician, but nor for sale) in the UK.

Curation. Bandcamp isn't what it is because of the technology, the money, the business model or whatever. It is (was?) Bandcamp because of the curators, the community and the humans behind it.

Find the best way of replicating those things and you have a chance at least :)
Seems more like a joke than a statement to me.
I'll usually write it as a SELECT, to be sure my WHERE is correct, then I'll convert it to an UPDATE.

And if you screw up, well that's what ROLLBACK is for.
Honestly, I'm tired of big sites. I like simple, clean HTML + CSS websites. And I write them myself. JAMstack.

Journalism is no longer a noble calling, to report the facts and inform the public. The people who are going into journalism, and the companies who are masquerading as sources of news and information, are more interested in propaganda and a specific point of view. Journalist motives cannot be trusted anymore.
They also could provide insurmountable opportunity. You'd have a huge advantage against enemies if you could develop some kind of mutualism with the beasts of nature.

Imagine living on top of an elephant. I guess you would attend to its skin and health, in exchange for a great defensive position, free transport, the potential to live off dying cells and moisture, etc.

Fast forward a very long time, and you might have humans controlling all the animals of the wild, which would have developed their own ways of survival, territory and rivalries. Animals which lack this 'army' of humans tending to them would die out. Wouldn't be so different to now...
It's also laziness and pressure to output more and more.

You are merely again insinuating racist overtones by using phrases like "shitshow", "civilized itself" etc. and not debating/discussing anything.
I worked at a place in the late 90s that had a mix of older actual Apple Macs and newer Power Computing towers. One night some water line in the ceiling went and almost all of the machines got showers. Most of the wet Power Computing died but none of the Apple machines did. There was even one that retained probably a quart of water that was dumped out through the disk drive holes the next morning.
It's really simple --- "Google" means privacy invasion.
Another great memory was writing "broken" HTML comment tags so you could disable "auto-inserted" ads from Geocities and Angelfire (and other) sites so you could look cool with your premium, ad-free site.
Keep in mind that this doesn't actually work as a webshop. It's just a static site generator - there's very little in the way of payment mechanisms, the documentation claims it's "not enforced".

I think it's neat but this isn't competition for Bandcamp. Could be cool if you just want to host some music tracks on a nicely formatted page though.
This is not an alternative to Bandcamp. More of a music-oriented static site generator.
Case 1a: A DC is using 60kW for equipment and 40kW for cooling
Case 1b: Code efficiency of 5% improves the equipment to 57kW for equipment;
I'd expect cooling to drop to around 38kW rather than remain at 40kW to remove that 57kW of heat load.

If that's the case, a 5% improvement in equipment power draw is a 5% improvement in overall DC power draw, not a 3% (5% improvement on 60% of it).
Demystifying TypeScript's Double Question Mark: Nullish Coalescing
In Japanese it’s called both 小型月着陸実証機 (roughly: small moon lander probe) pronounced “ko-gata tsuki chakuriku jisshōki” or スリム (SLIM). It’s not uncommon to have an English name alongside the Japanese one for some scientific projects but not always the case — e.g. I don’t recall hearing the Hayabusa probe referred to by any name other than Hayabusa (which means falcon) in the news.

Lately I've been developing a system which represents something like a file tree in SQL tables and using

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/queries-with.html#QU...

and boy is it an awkward syntax. Circa 2008 I was getting interested in the "semantic web" and wasn't so happy with RDFS and OWL and thought Datalog would be a useful approach and it was an obscure topic then. 10 years later people struggling w/ SQL and other query languages revived it because it seems so much conceptually clean than alternatives.

Similarly there is something that looks terribly half-baked about triggers, stored procedures, etc. in SQL and I've long thought something based on production rules could be cleaner but the world just hasn't cared.
Not clear why the app needs location info for this. Notifications should just be relative to the current local time.
That's why I'm pretty aggressive about white-listing my notifications. Apple would do well to make this the default. The default answer is that they wouldn't for financial reasons, but over the past few years, I've been pleasantly surprised by changes they've implemented that I thought weren't in their best interests for those same reasons.
To a single point as I said, I'm not really sure how else to describe. Could be ring terminals crimped on and under a single screw, that would be better. But twisted cores under screw beats not twisted under screw - even just twisted and no screw (as is common especially in say light fittings that are double insulated/no metal to begin with, no Earth point) is probably better.

Python's syntax also rattles me for the same reason.

[item for item in items if item.include]

It's almost exactly like a sql statement.

The order is confusing.

More broadly, foreach loops are also written in the wrong order.

More reasonable:

foreach(items as item)

In the West, we read left to right. Presenting undefined terms before defined ones burdens the mind.
I am not an avid sports follower, so I only know of the brand from the Swimsuit editions. I am surprised to learn they were once somewhat journalistic in nature.

Horny dudes in general, ya. That’s their audience, guys who like sports and attractive women. Again, who is the audience for Martha Stewart on the cover?
Door dash is breaking their website on purpose (pretty clear how they force hiding things when they detect them) for it to not work properly in phone browsers. This should be illegal.
True, I did think a good solution (depending on usage) could be if Kagi let you BYO API key. Of course then the model choice (as it supports multiple) would have to be limited to what (is a third-party API and) you provide a key for. But then it's less of an up-sell and probably lower margin for them even if it did cost more than the lower tier unlimited search plan.
The Linux binary (pre-built or packaged by your distro) is just a CLI. The Mac binary instead also contains a desktop app.

I agree with OP that this is very confusing. The fact the Mac OS installation comes with a desktop app is not documented anywhere at all! The only way you can discover this is by downloading the Mac binary.
