> I managed to get it running, despite Teletext being killed off years ago.

It's still going strong here in Germany. The Teletext service run by ARD alone still had 19 M users 2 years ago [0]. You can even use it in a browser [1]. My father uses it heavily and with split-screen to get up-to-date sports results and news without all the BS he has to deal with on the internet as someone over 60 (notifications, cookie warnings, usability changes every 6 months, fear of accidentally "clicking somewhere dangerous", ads). I suspect he uses Teletext for the same reasons I visit HN for.

Somewhat ironically, his Teletext (his TV signal) has been delivered via Internet for over a decade now.

Yes, but the macroeconomic conditions aren't in any way bad right now. These companies are all still making money hand over fist, and whatever issues they're having are primarily self-inflicted.
That's what I thought as well. If someone's opening metaclasses to define singleton methods they probably know all about the Ruby object model. I don't see how it could be done "without knowing you're doing so".

Last summer we put new panels over sunny side of our 20yo terracota roof. Since the roof is just overlaid "bricks", we only had to remove some of those, use screws to fix hooks to underlying structural wood, and put the roof tiles back on. On the hooks we install metal wireframe, into which the panels were seated and fixed.

Apart from raising the panels to the roof and fixing them in place (brother helped), we did it just me and dad. Panels are just too heavy/bulky for 2 people.

The terracota roof have 0 new openings, as the hooks are in the space where two tiles overlay, so there is 0 fear of long term damage trough water ingress. The hooks and aluminum wireframe fixture were the most expensive part of roof instalation.

So, cheap, fast (3 weekends total?), and fun. I am surprised some people have totally different experience
There’s a potential case study here. It seems that AI itself is vulnerable to misinformation which is something that might be glossed over in academic papers but has just started to be seen in the wild. I have used alternatives to Github Copilot that appear to be better about predicting my intent but I’m curious how rapidly that can turn around depending on the audience of the platform.
Koreans React to US Healthcare Costs – Street Interview [video]
"FBI wiretap transcripts" sound like very private conversations, probably including innocent people and innocent topics. Just because they had a court order for the wiretap doesn't mean the conversations are now public record. So they are exempt, but then it's still private and not something that you should be taking home.

> prosecutor already had access to them

I don't think that argument works. The same could be said for a software engineer. He had access to the source code, so why can't he keep a copy of it?
Or not! Share with your friends and family, sure, but why does the world have to know?

Well put.

Although, I'd say this view, much as I share it, makes it harder to find companies to work for. Especially in a tougher job market like right now.

I'll do conversational technical interviews all day. Leet code and 6 interviews unrelated to the job, hell no.

It's cynical, but once you've been through the meat grinder with layoffs, obsessive VC overgrowth and unfulfilled promises, I don't see another way so get to where I want to be financially without either letting go and becoming a hermit or as you say "enter the capital class".
Work hard and take everything seriously
I’m not saying it was alright before, but it was more contained and now the volume is making it a bigger issue that more people are exposed to.
How much electricity do you use? I have a low range inverter (5KW) and it can give me 4.5kw sustained power from my battery and as much as I want from the grid because it acts as a pass through. At 220V that's 20Amps, or 40A I guess with your American 110V supply.

Add another battery and bigger inverter and you can double that. Unless you've got a kiln or perpetually running hot water heating, I'm left baffled.
I highly welcome the effort as well*, but I don't see why they would have to mistake first-language ability for fluency to argue for that. The difference is vast and relevant: anyone with good English reading and writing skills can take advantage of a model and might prefer it over a worse model in their native language.

*: Just sceptical whether there's enough content out there which isn't just (often badly or too straightforwardly) translated from English. Not an issue for the languages with let's say >10 Mio. speakers, but for everything smaller.
Modified condition/decision coverage (MC/DC) and compiler implementations
This will be pretty trivial. There is very good support for common apis.
This is the kind of thinking that leads to unmaintainable AbstractFactoriesFactory classes.
Sometimes allowing repeat code is good because two functions might drift away from common functionality in the future which would require a major rework of whatever abstraction you put over them to get them under the same roof.
But isn't the whole point of QM is that this assumption doesn't hold in some scale? I mean it's literally in the name. Care to explain? :)
I had a similar offer but I had a gut feeling it wasn't a good idea at the time and I feel somewhat vindicated by the comments in this thread.
Quote:
[Ever since Ronald Reagan came to power, on a platform that ensured society became sharply divided into “winners” and “losers”, and ever more people, lacking public provision, were allowed to fall through the cracks, US politics has become fertile soil for extrinsic values. As Democratic presidents, following Reagan, embraced most of the principles of neoliberalism, the ratchet was scarcely reversed. The appeal to extrinsic values by the Democrats, Labour and other once-progressive parties is always self-defeating. Research shows that the further towards the extrinsic end of the spectrum people travel, the more likely they are to vote for a rightwing party.]
While Israel does have a present problem with religious extremists I take issue with the characterization of the Irgun, Haganah, Levi and other terrorist groups that conducted the ethnic cleansing as “religious extremists”.

These were terrorist thugs. They had an objective and they naturally used violence to achieve it. Whatever “religious” views they may or may not have had are secondary. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine was conducted by violent terrorists who wanted to create a country that they dominated.

We can discuss and debate whether their religious views follows from or causes the Zionist terrorism that has prevailed for the past century separately. It’s a valid discussion point but in the context of the ongoing genocide and ethnics cleansing all it does is muddy the waters for many people.

Because being a generalist operating system built by volunteers and supposed to support tens of thousands of hardware combinations and use cases is exactly the same as being a multi billion company building your own hardware and software on top of it, right?
I never 'learned' python and ruby is the path I went with and still use for 90% of my own software.

However Python is a easy transition. I rarely struggle to do anything with it when I need it. Even Django wasn't to weird to grasp after years of rails.

IMO it's not to relevant which language you choose to learn in the beginning of your career. Whatever is more fun or works better for your interests.
> the world is continuous

Is it though? Does it matter one way or the other? Do we think reality is the math in some way, or is the math a really darn good model of the reality?
English is an official language in Malta and about 70% of the population is classed as "advanced" in English[0]. That only adds up to 280k people though, you'd probably find as many native-level speakers in any big European country, though not at the same density.

Personally, I experience a great boom to my productivity. Sure, the code I get from copilot is not "the best", however it allows me to get so much more done. If it makes a mistake or two it's not really that big of a deal. However, I don't work in finance or "really important stuff", so ymmv.
Here's sort of a counter example though - clothes and makeup make a big difference:

I think it's a difference between ARMv8 and ARMv6/7 (I believe BKPT on ARMv6/7 sets the exception return address to `addr(instruction)+4`).
No, it just forces you to find an abstraction, not necessarily a good one. Badly designed abstractions can be far worse than repetition.
It must set a terribly high threshold (like language certificate holders or graduates of English-speaking schools) or actually report the percentage of native speakers. But one only has to be fluent enough to write chat messages to use a text model!

Sure. But any single party state is inherently non-democratic regardless of anything else.

You’re missing the part where insurers have to big for coverage. Companies will say “we want a plan that includes X” then get a bunch of proposals from insurers.

Cost is a big factor in which one you go with. So while insurers do make more money by paying higher and more claims, that’s offset by customers wanting a low price.
Damn, this page reminds me how much I miss working with Ruby every day :/

If the population who do _not_ actually have serious cancer is orders of magnitudes larger than those who do then there will be far more people in the false positive group than the true positive group and thus the vast majority of operations will be unnecessary.
This isn’t true. Insurers are incentivized by lowering healthcare costs as well. All you have to do is look at all the preventative care that they pay for - often with smaller or no copay (although no copay was mandated by Obamacare).
I started out with Laravel 10 years ago, but now I have been in the NodeJS Ecosystem for recent 5 years, so I've been working with different things, but lately mostly with Supabase, which has its own REST API abstraction, but now I've been lately starting to prefer just having a direct bare postgres client against it. This is for my own side projects/MVPs.
Optimizing ML-based library design for AAV gene therapy
Antoine de Saint Exupéry once said,

'If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood or assign them tasks and work. Instead, teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.'

This resonates with how I feel about programming languages. Python might be more practical, but does it ignite a passion for coding like Ruby has historically done? I remember dabbling in Python, Perl, and JavaScript (ES5) back in high school, but it wasn't until I rediscovered programming through Ruby that I truly began to enjoy it.

Nowadays, I might not default to Ruby for new projects, having moved on to OCaml and Elixir, among others. Yet, there's something about Ruby's community (its charm and gentleness,) that's missing in many others. This nurturing environment is invaluable for beginners. It's noteworthy how members of the Ruby community, like José Valim with Elixir, Yehuda Katz with Ember.js and Rust, and Chris McCord with Phoenix, have carried this spirit of playfulness and a deep care for developer experience into other communities they've joined.
"I never drive without seatbelts, but it takes at least 5 seconds to get the seatbelts on. Why not just wait till you see I’m shifting into gear before you start yelling at me?"

Very confused by this, I never had the seatbelt chime appear before the car starts moving and I have the same model as the author. It also doesn't chime when you drive very slowly in a parking situation.
Some psychologists believe our values tend to cluster around certain poles, described as “intrinsic” and “extrinsic”. People with a strong set of intrinsic values are inclined towards empathy, intimacy and self-acceptance. They tend to be open to challenge and change, interested in universal rights and equality, and protective of other people and the living world.

People at the extrinsic end of the spectrum are more attracted to prestige, status, image, fame, power and wealth. They are strongly motivated by the prospect of individual reward and praise. They are more likely to objectify and exploit other people, to behave rudely and aggressively and to dismiss social and environmental impacts. They have little interest in cooperation or community. People with a strong set of extrinsic values are more likely to suffer from frustration, dissatisfaction, stress, anxiety, anger and compulsive behaviour.

It's odd to think that one's adherence to an arbitrary measurement system makes one "modern", but it would be more interesting to examine why someone assumed that something "modern" was obviously better.
These are "poetic terms", people usually use "flock of X",
which is far more approachable. Using archaic terms

No, position and time are typically continuous variables in quantum mechanics. You can have formulations in which they are discrete but they are not required and are relatively exotic. QM certainly doesn't say they must be discrete.
So much this.

Sometimes by the time you've documented or broken down the task in sufficient detail to hand off to a third party, then reviewed and revised the work several times, you realise you could have done it yourself in the same or less time. And if you've contracted the work out, any learnings will leave when the job is completed.

Taking this time and care with employees when delegating tasks is a much better equation and will help set the standard/quality of work you want to see moving forward.
Premature scaling is the premature abstraction (the premature optimization) of the 21st century

That's one approach.

A different approach would be to encourage people to double check or at least smoke test.

What I find amusing is the article quotes SAP having difficultly finding university graduates. This is is same company which has been trying to get rid of older employees in Germany by means of voluntary attrition.

And this year they announced restructuring of 8000 employees and would try to do same again in Germany
I would have thought taxes on electricity would be lower because in an indirect way it contributes to cost of business in the country. But, I am surprised.

Now, let the tech mature for a reasonable longish term energy storage and I’ll set one up in the backyard :-)
Save excess energy from the Summer, use it in Winter, repeat.

I don’t have enough space for the amount of LFP batteries I’d need for such seasonal storage. Even flow batteries of today needs more space than I have. So, it will have to be some $future tech that could allow me to save the summer for the Winter.

Besides the glaring absence of Claas Relotius, the article lists a number of high-profile journalistic fraud (one that briefly got a Pulitzer prize).
It does not go into detail but it does present a relatively fair assessment of how journalism goes back to being dubious, and that journalists as guardians of truth is actually not the historical pattern.

It is very surface level on everything though. It does not go into details about what is below the apex of 'outright fabrication' in the journalistic fraud pyramid. Most journalists have always relied on either some extremely rich investor or Government funding and in both cases it is obvious they won't tolerate real independent journalism for their money.
A few legitimate but common complaints marred by a bunch of issues that aren’t common (my phone key works fine, Bluetooth is fine, etc) and completely unsubstantiated prediction that the runaway top seller of EVs, indeed the best selling cars several years running, will somehow “fail to compete” in the EV space
Sure but that's still only possible for the human brain, other species brains aren't capable of encoding knowledge and using that to collaborate with other members.
I don't know what's more concerning, the fact that you find a six page paper written by one of the greatest communicators in science hard to digest or that you think an automatically chopped up version with colorful shapes is equivalent to the original.

I don't get the obsession to reduce such an obvious continuous solution space to literal black and white answer. Imagine if doctors did that. Oh this medicine only gives an additional 20 years of healthy life but doesn't cure the illness, oh well might as well not do anything then.
Thank you for sharing about the Dan Ariely scam. From his wiki:

> Ariely is the author of the three New York Times best selling books Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality and The Honest Truth about Dishonesty.[3] He co-produced the 2015 documentary (Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies.[4]

You have to say, this guy has chutzpah! He's fine to promote himself as a bastion of truth and rationality, and all the while he's making up his studies! Lying through your teeth gets you "three New York Times best selling books"!
I’m talking about long-term incontinence which is what people are most concerned about. You probably are reading about short-term incontinence. If you are having a radical prostatectomy done, you probably are hoping to live at least ten more years or even longer, so you’re basically saying you want short-term pain (surgery, pain, incontinence, etc) for long-term peace of mind (no metastases).

I believe working for a friend is much harder than working with a friend. On the employee side, you now have to respect your friend as a leader (so it will no longer be a friendship on equal terms) and not expect any beneficial treatment as that will reflect badly on his relationship with other employees. On the employer side your friend now has a greater responsibility for your financial stability, which is quite stressful because there will be a greater emotional attachment to this responsibility. My advice is: if you want to help your friend out offer them a casual liberal contract until their business gets rolling. If you want to work for your mate because you have trouble finding another job always remember that your friend is doing you a massive favour and try your best to be a model employee. Otherwise do not do it, and retain your friend as someone you can complain to about your asshol boss who is not your friend :)
He never followed any scientific method or tried to do a good job either. The Maslow's hierarchy of needs is literally just some random dude's harshly biased opinion that somehow became a huge part of our popculture, and this peeves me no end. It's not even good.
It’s not like there isn’t a choice so it’s odd to call it single party. The majority of Californians don’t see anything republicans offer worth voting for. That’s pretty democratic.

Your point may be valid for heavily gerrymandered states though, which are without exception in today’s America Republican lead.

If it really was continuous so that physical quantities were real numbers as defined in mathematics, then it is in contradiction to maximal information density. Because almost all real numbers contain infinite amount of information.

I should have maybe clarified that it was killed off here in the UK, I will amend it.
Quick google search of the AZ law says it will tax solar energy exported to other states and divide the proceeds among the local residents, which sounds a bit more nuanced than your summary. Not saying it's positive, but it's not clear to me that it's negative without more details; some form of this could incentivize more of the land to be used for solar, for example. I actually thought that this sort of law would be disallowed by the fed, since they reserve the right to govern interstate commerce.
