Center screen is the focus screen for sure. I cmd+tab between my code editor, terminal, and browser there.

Laptop screen on the left is for Slack and music player.

Right screen is in portrait mode and it’s for docs or design comps.

I have had issues with neck pain and stiffness and I find that having a wider FOV for my workspace balanced between left and right sides actually helps a lot…so that’s a huge part of why I like the triple monitor setup.
The acceleration/deceleration always points forward. If you've turned in other directions, then you can end up with some lateral velocity. You can cancel it out by decelerating until your speed hits a minimum, turning roughly 90 degrees, and decelerating along that axis as well. (If you still have residual speed, just repeat with more roughly-perpendicular axes.)
What? You haven’t been paying attention. These people had no power to start anything.

Also, last time I checked, it was Russia who invaded, not the US, which are not a party in this war.
This would be my plan C. Although I already have a track record of being key to the development of many successful games, I never published one by myself. I do have something I could finish relatively quickly alone (few months) that would be good for this but it's not where I think I should focus my efforts yet.

However, I found myself often in a role detached from the specific releases, helping on many at once, focusing on the bugs others couldn't fix, on reviewing designs early to pinpoint what could be a problem or done better, jumping in early to establish some solid base to build on, etc. This means my name isn't even in 90%+ of the projects I worked on since I wasn't directly affiliated on it at the time credits were written and for the others, my role is probably nonsense. Those teams remember me, those credits do not. Might not be best at a glance for showing to potential investors but as far as knowing things inside out, I've been involved at nearly every part of developing many different types of games, at least once. I can easily demonstrate that.

I don't have a doubt there that I can build what I intend to and that there's a large market for it, also got various plans on how to reach that market. I'm also aware of how much work that is, how long that could take, places where I can use help that can do things better than I could, who that help could be, and more but I'm also unaware of a lot of things beyond developing and publishing, that there's a lot more I'll have to learn on the way and probably a lot of extra things to do I'm not even thinking of yet.
Starting with pretty much all the stuff that has to do with starting a business with more than just me

One of the options I'm considering is to straight up send emails to some of the business owners I've worked with that are aware of my impact and ask if they want to give this a shot-- but not sure under what terms I could present that

Still, if the goal is showing I can build the thing, easy. Showing it can be profitable? I can back this with numbers. Having plans on how to reach that market? I've got many before even considering involving a publisher. Will everything in there work perfectly as I planned? unlikely but I'll ramp up, adapt AND seek the help I can.

I'm currently refining the pitch and well, it definitely leaked into this answer
In particular, most traits you've seen for Rust, such as PartialEq, or here Ord (a claim that our type is totally ordered) are safe traits, this means you don't need to utter the unsafe keyword to implement these traits, and so even though Rust clearly documents the traits as having specific requirements in fact it promises it won't actually cause UB if you ignore them, and the users of that trait must behave accordingly.

My misfortunate crate https://crates.io/crates/misfortunate is a library of types that just deliberately implement various traits "wrongly" in order that you can play with the consequences.

For example Clone promises to uh, clone things, but Rust can't know if this Doodad is really a "clone" of that Doodad, only that the result was really the correct type, so if your type only implements Default my Multiplicity type wrapper will cheerfully claim it can be cloned anyway, cloning the wrapper doesn't get you a "real" clone but only your Default - the types look correct but what's inside is not a "clone" in any reasonable sense.

Rust does have what it calls unsafe traits, traits which you cannot implement without writing the "unsafe" keyword. They are solemn promises that you did what the documentation told you to, if you messed up in writing the unsafe trait then the resulting software may have Undefined Behaviour.

For example, my type wrapper Comte (named after the guy who invented the trick with a hat you've seen magicians do) claims to be an ExactSizeIterator. If it has one rabbit inside it, duh, exact size. Nope, it's a trick, we can just tap the Comte with our wand and produce an unlimited number of rabbits despite claiming to be an ExactSizeIterator, that's a bad idea but it's not Undefined Behaviour.

On the other hand Rust has the unsafe TrustedLen, which also says we can trust this iterator knows exactly how big it is, but because it's unsafe that's a solemn promise, if we took the Comte code but claimed to implement TrustedLen we're just despicable liars.
Replace my pointers with safe references then. Add a static assertion in a where clause about not being a ZST.

The second example with the vtables is the point (i.e. complicated data structures). qsort is just a simple example to introduce the concept.

They accepted the case because they wanted to end race-based affirmative action.

In terms of the dissents, they were completely out of step with the Court’s affirmative action jurisprudence. Going all the way back to Bakke (1978), the Court has never approved of any rationale for race-based affirmative action other than the ‘diversity rationale’. This states that colleges may use affirmative action in order to improve the educational experience by admitting more students of different racial backgrounds. The dissents employed fiery rhetoric but were not shooting for the diversity rationale. As a result, their arguments were destined to fail.
You need stackful coroutines or continuations (which become really just a kind of growable stack) if you want recursive functions. This is a limitation of Rust’s design.
“Go there”? This isn’t a battle. Both can be true. But experience is a fact.

Seems like, they didn’t want LLMs training on their data, unless it’s their LLMs… but also they want people interacting with the site to make posts, not posting via API as ads get no eyeballs when you post via API… also it’s only a matter of time before people just write scripts that generate LLMs output into a post on Facebook via API. I’m sure that’s already happening. Soon enough Facebook just becomes robots talking to robots..
We may nitpick at which process gives more equitable chances of admission to Dartmouth. But ultimately we are still saddled with the absurd notion (and very real prospect) that a ticket to the middle class depends on winning very costly degrees. - particularly degrees whose brand recognition enables employment with greater proximity to the deployment of capital rather than operation of capital.

Meanwhile there is little discussion of why issues of equity in admissions are zero sum rather than leveraging multi-billion dollar endowments to expand access overall.
That's especially true if you care about performance and do a lot of joins, the hit can be over 10%.

It's really not the same. Eink is a completely different screen technology that physically moves ink particles around. The screen doesn't emit light, only reflects ambient light like paper.

American airlines don't buy new planes. Third-world airplanes buy new airplanes and once they've taken depreciation for them they sell them to American airlines. Even if they quit making new 737s, Southwest could be still flying old 737s 40 years from now.

It's tempting to say that some of the worst airports in the US (say Newark) are "third-world" but the truth is that a bad airport in the third world is often a lot better than any airport in the U.S.

Is the ship gaining mass (and shortening, and having its time slowed) in its own frame of reference? No, right? So wouldn't it be that the 1G acceleration from the viewpoint of the ship remains from the internal perspective, even though near the speed of light, more and more of that energy goes into higher mass and slower time?

What happens when you accelerate to a speed at which a photon with a wavelength as large as the observable universe (in the world frame) gets blueshifted to a wavelength shorter than the Plank length in your frame of reference?
People don't exercise their rights when a) they are not informed of them, and b) they're under duress.

What's more bewildering is why juries (who are not facing jail time themselves) don't find defendants innocent in every case involving the police since it's known that the police are allowed to lie, and it's also known they will face little to no repercussions from doing so even under oath.
No, the exhaust port definitely was an unimaginable hell cannon. The characters spoke several times about slagging a ship or a surface base in their drive plume.
I’m not sure I’d call that a punchline of relativity; the idea of frame of reference is also part of the classical model.
Anecdotally, some factors I've heard that make YoY comparisons questionable:

1. With RTO, folks are more likely to eat out during the week (especially for places in SLU), so weekend demand is probably lower

2. With commutes, folks are more likely to pick up on their way home, so demand for delivery is probably lower

3. With the poor level of service, folks are more likely to pick up in order to ensure that their food is actually edible

King5's post itself notes another potential confounding variable: more drivers.

This misrepresents and belittles the amount of effort required to create something. Generally speaking, people don't buy tech, they buy products — Ideally great products.

While the iPhone 1.0 was incredibly primitive by today's standards, and wasn't the absolute cutting edge tech/compute-wise, it was indeed very polished and fantastic at what it set out to do: Combine an iPod + Internet Communicator + Phone. It had real mass-market use cases it set to solve during development, and solved those right out the gate, despite the many improvements that would follow.

Vision 1.0 doesn't seem to have many particular use cases in mind, and the ones it has seem incredibly niche. There's a lot of really cool tech that's meandering for a reason to exist. This alone makes it unlike any Apple product they have released in recent memory.
Probably, because of what mrandish said at the start of the thread. Management thinks they can earn more money from others. If hotel staff is treated well and/or gets good tips doesn't factor in the decision process which event is hosted. As long as someone spends enough for managers to get their bonuses management is happy.

The last time I studied special relativity was a while ago, but I think your mass only increases in other frames of reference.

If, for example, we consider the speed of your ship from the point of view of someone left on earth, then your ship should appear heavier from that person's perspective as you accelerate. But from your point of view, you still weigh the same, and so does your ship. In fact, you would see earth going through the dramatic "weight gain".
I'm surprised they didn't hire you as an advisor. Maybe they would still be solvent if they did.
I think I don't struggle to imagine how Eastern Europeans loved Russia, Soviet Union and Communism just 40 years back. 80 years back, Eastern Europeans just loved Germany and Hitler. Now they are huge fans of the USA. This time it's for real. Genuine Eastern European feeling and honest hatred for everybody who came before.

The problem with most Eastern Europeans is that they'll sing and dance on anybody's 5 cents. You can buy and sell them and they will always be eager to serve.

That is frankly revolting to Russians who are able to maintain long term loyalties, and will be heartbroken to betray long term commitments. Russians do not hate Eastern Europeans, neither do they want to invade and occupy their countries, but Russians do despise Eastern Europeans now. Every stupid thing you say gets laid on these scales.
Living in Seattle, every election the ballet was filled with items like these, which sound great and have good-faith intentions that are totally in line with my own personal convictions.

But I guess policy needs to be studied--really studied--examined from all fronts, tested with the full weight of reality.

If you ban X, what replaces it? Y? Is Y really better? If you add a charge of Z to support certain industries, how does that shift the economics? You can't just assume that a $5 charge means $5 more in the pocket of everyone in that industry.

The lack of a validation protocol is also an issue for the another way for doing this — generationally mutate the polymerase and let evolution do the work for you. But, this only really works when you have an automated test to know which variations are working better than others. You really want to be able to automate the process to get many (many) generations to effectively explore the search space.

But, the contest isn’t really about length — it’s about polymerase preference for fluorescently labeled dNTPs vs unlabeled.

From: https://454.bio/blog/2024/01/23/polymerase-competition/

> 454 Bio have opened a competition with a prize of $200,000.00 to evolve a DNA polymerase optimized to use Lightning Terminators™ while not incorporating their hydroxymethyl cleavage products with a minimum 1000:1 ratio.

This seems to be an issue with their chosen “One Pot” reaction mixture. When you can’t wash away byproducts after each cycle, with this method, you get a build up of non-labeled molecules. And these are the ones that the polymerase prefers. So, of course they end up with single-digit read lengths… the polymerase is doing what it does best. This seems like figuring out this chemistry should have been fleshed out before trying to build the sequencer.

So, I guess it turns out that there is a validation endpoint, but still not a very convenient way to measure it…
Depending on what you allow in predicate types, you end up making type inference (and/or type checking) an undecidable problem.

In Common Lisp, you can write

(deftype element () `(integer 100 1000))

and in this case, a "smart" compiler like SBCL will be able to infer the bounds of (the element x), but for more complex predicates, like

(deftype even-element ()
`(and (integer 100 1000)
(satisfies evenp)))

I highly doubt there is a single CL compiler out there that'd be able to e.g. optimize (logand 1 (the even-element x)) into the constant 0. Thus declaring types like this -- in Common Lisp at least -- is only really useful for documenting code and run-time validation.
No it doesn't. How would compiling prove this is wrong?

a, b = argv[:]

As far back as I can remember (mid 80s) cable always had ads. The premium channels like HBO did not, but most channels did.

Note that the various platforms have changed their UI to discourage tips, and my impression is that they are doing their best to communicate the reason for the price increase, and it's not possible to determine whether the increased fees are actually in proportion to the increased cost (if any).

I can't speak to how any of these companies think about this ordinance, but I do think they have an incentive to ensure that this ordinance fails, and a great deal of influence on its success.

The more taxes I pay for things like this, the more I empower people that think like you, to just hire more ideologically alined people to fill government and academia positions. It's worse than a clergy take over.
Interestingly, I came from a very modest family (rural south, one parent was a teacher, the other disabled), so I never knew how expensive “city” life would be that most professionals aspire to. So I was mostly interested in interesting and meaningful work, and assumed literally any salary for a college graduate would be more than I ever need.

Wow was I wrong.

So current tech gens are making a killer salary as early and often as possible are making the wise choice. I do also thing the class of grads who used to go to investment banking and consulting now go to tech, and they were always “mercenaries”.
That's not how it works. If the planet is N light years away from earth, the transmissions you receive would be those sent 20000-n years ago. along the way you'd get most of the messages sent during the 20k years as very red-shifted light, and extremely rapidly from your pov.
When people claim that minimum wage laws don't hurt workers, there's an implicit assumption that the jobs would always exist anyway, and costs will just be passed on.

Sometimes that may be true. Other times, you're just getting rid of a certain class of jobs.
I think the presumption of what users want is a kind of classism. Users are humans and as humans we have a hierarchy of needs that can lead to certain tradeoffs. Doesn't mean only the techies appreciate things like privacy and having agency over software. Just because corporations don't give us a choice doesn't mean "the market has decided". So you aren't an outlier you are just aware and maybe more interested in the problem than someone who isn't a programmer.

You might find this a stumbling point for adoption. My first thought is this could be a good tool for me to use, but how can I send a design to someone else to get feedback on if I’m not going to expect them to also also learn how to use this or how can I get my design manufactured if the tools can’t export out the, normally very visual, layout files.
Yeah I really don't like the idea of drinking things that had hexane in them. I tend to reach for tea if I want something hot but not much caffeine.

Decaf still has enough caffeine that if you're super-sensitive (by genetics, reduced metabolism brought on by age, or both) it can cause problems anyway.

Fair enough. However I think the consequences of that is a China like situation. Education is increasingly competitive, and early achievements sort you into a caste for the rest of your life. Of course, race based discrimination will become even more problematic as lower class Asian Americans are fast tracked into the China style rat race to get into a good school.

Well, I was a big fan of the Maxx when it broadcast back of the 90s, I think?, but I haven’t rewatched it since then, so I don’t really have any opinion anymore. Maybe I’ll take a look again, though I admit I don’t follow how it’s related.
