I was born in Manhattan and lived in the city for over a decade and still own an apartment downtown. I know a thing or two about the place. It's cool that you get a vibe from being a transplant here for a couple years, that has literally nothing to do with anything I said. The lawlessness is also quite a different experience for women--I am guessing having random guys off the street try to force your door open and follow you into your building or corner you on a subway or follow you around riding a bike aggressively catcalling you is probably not something you are dealing with on a regular basis.

The day I left I moved out over a pool of dried blood from a stabbing in front of my door the night before. I've lived in over 20 countries since then and not experience anything similar except maybe in Canada, which has similar drug problems as the US.
Did I do my math wrong or is your price per KWh 12 times what it is in the States?
I agree with everything the author said. Also, I would add that if you are taking a course that requires writing, make that writing a daily practice, or at least a few times a week. Make time for it and do it. I used to take courses where the final project was a writing assignment, and I had to change my habits (from reading everyday to suddenly a burst of intense writing) at the last minute to accommodate the task. It's very hard to make this shift. I think a student should try to make their work-day while at university as consistent as possible.
Doesn't that approach just defer the tax until the property was sold?

If so I wonder if that can create the opposite of the problem of elderly people being forced out by rising taxes. Namely someone who wants to move out but can't afford to because after all the deferred taxes are paid from the proceeds of a sale they won't have enough left for another place.
Why is scientific writing being judged by the writing style / etc. vs the power and novelty of the ideas it contains? Manuscripts are prepared with spell check / grammar check, with “mechanical” fonts, computation and layout. How is AI helping improve scientific publications different from other ways technology has improved them?
Bingo. I would argue Ruby has the quality of being a great language the next person can understand, but I think Rails has prejudiced people.
We need national legislation to dramatically increase enforcement against death threats and swatting and other forms of harassment involving violence or threats of violence. There's plenty of laws on the books and in typical American fashion the potential prison sentences are already obscenely long. So no use jacking up the sentences, which is typically the only way politicians bother to address the 'crime of the week'.

Deterrence doesn't come from long prison sentences or comically large fines. Deterrence comes form having a high probability of actually getting caught and convicted! But with the mass increase of death threats and doxing has also comes the widespread realization that these are crimes you can get away with. The more it happens, the less the chance of getting caught. That is unless we fund and prioritize this type of enforcement.

The fact that there is no movement in Congress on this topic is baffling, considering those legislators are among the most common targets for violent harassment.

One of the things about phone calls is that they will continue to ring and ring until you actively decide to answer or ignore; it's not just a half-second "ping!" sound delivered once. This is also useful in meetings when everything else is closed up or silenced, to jar you out.

I usually do not respond immediately to phone notifications, which I can handle async. Phone calls are by definition sync.
They were one step up from rent-a-cops who got a thrill from intimidating 6th graders.
Hmm that makes sense. I don't have a washing machine so I was worried about getting these from the launderette. Especially since some of their customers seem to be of the no fixed abode type.

But I always wash my stuff at 60C and bedding and towels at 90C (for Fahrenheiters that's nearly boiling). And then dry for 30 minutes at 80C. I guess that does the job.

I'm surprised my clothes don't shrink from those temperatures. I wear pretty much only cotton but it seems unaffected.
I didn't introduce the figure, only riffed on it to try to make my point more clear. If it's become a distraction, we should indeed discard it. That said, unique or no, I don't think a situation in which no one is willing to speak to or be spoken to by anyone they don't recognize is one that's especially ordinary for this species either. Certainly it has been anything but in my lifetime, and not only for happening to grow up in a place that wasn't Boston or Seattle.

One of the things I've loved about Baltimore for the quarter century I've lived here has been exactly that it differed in this, but lately that hasn't seemed very much to be the case, and that bothers me, especially to see happen in such a relatively short time.

I'm not inclined to haste in accepting it as normal, especially in the wake of a pandemic that seems to have significantly accelerated a process of cultural disintegration in at least the US. Things were not like this at all five years ago, and it legitimately frightens me that people seem to struggle to remember that, because it means I have to wonder what else may have come to be thought normal five years hence.
Grok. OP's software sounds good but I'm not paying to find out if I like doing the process in the first place.
I just dealt with this the other day. One of my favorite restaurants kept the menu "books" but when you opened it up it just had a QR code. Tease... So I went to the counter and asked for a paper menu, which they provided. While my friends are struggling to figure out the online ordering system, I ordered directly through the waiter. All seems to be well and I'm feeling smug. Then my friend comments that they can't figure out why there is another item on their order, an item that just happens to coincide with what I ordered. facepalm So I ask the server to put it on a separate tab, to which they responded "I already did." Ok... So we'll have to figure this out later. After I eat, I walk up to the counter since I don't expect to receive a paper bill from the server as everything seems to be online now. I ask to pay for my meal, and they say they don't have any such item open on the tab. facepalm I walk back to table, and later my friend and I go back to the counter so they can show the staff that my item is on their tab. We can't figure it out with the staff, so we decide I'll just pay my friend for my portion. Except my friend's tab is already closed apparently and my item wasn't on it? Gah... Third time's the charm, I ask the server for my check, which they bring out. It has a QR code to pay online, no chance I'm messing with that. I walk to the counter, present the bill, and the server is able to ring up my tab. Way too much hassle associated with just ordering and paying for food. I suppose next time I know all the dance moves required for things to go smoothly, but I came to eat, not dance. Grrr....
You have to be trying pretty hard to make a CTRL-D cut the feed when piping into shell tools.

That only comes into effect when the input is coming from a pty, and that only when it's in a very specific mode that is meant for interactive use.
if you are using awk for more than 5 lines of code just use python.it is painfully slow and unreadable, there is no benefit of using it at all. if you are saying awk is fast you yad never benchmarked it against other programming languages. even pyhon is 10-20x faster.
Next step is the cops call in their own swat team for "training".
The did it in 2 stages. Before that, you need to know some history. A fire burnt down the majority of downtown. So, they had to rebuild everything anyway. The downtown was also low enough that the sewer would flow into the bay at high tide. After the fire, they made certain parts of the downtown streets up to 2 stories higher to accommodate a functional sewer system.

First, they made the streets higher without touching the storefronts. "Crossing the road" would have required climbing ladders. Once the streets were in place, they made the sidewalk and the new storefronts on the old first or second story. So, when you walk around that part of Seattle, there is sometimes just two stories of air beneath the sidewalk. You can identify these sidewalks through their use of amethyst blocks which actually serve/served as sunlight. As you can imagine, a block can consist of a single large structure and so sometimes the basement of these buildings are huge empty spaces. If I recall correctly, the Seattle underground is actually disappearing as development occurs and put these large basements into use. However, I do believe there is a movement to try to preserve at least part of the underground by simply buying enough adjoining buildings and funding their upkeep with tours (which is where I got this information). In terms of touristy things, I think definitely one of the more unique things in the USA and probably has similar vibes to the catacombs of Paris (without the bones).

Even if they know it's not legit, much safer to show up anyway, career-wise at least.
I have mostly horror stories for you.

I am native, and we do have oil, fjords blonde and .. misc. people that number a fraction of saudia arabia. All is not idyllic, most people like me die many years before reaching my age. My story is one that should have long since died and thus not been told. Tragic, cruel & ironic in the worst ways from start. TL;DR and a bit of a downer, so short short sunny version:

Norway: Where junkies keep you drug-fre, the criminals get you your first degree, bribe you with ADSL, weed and a higher education and the government agencies break the law & fuck you legally up for life.

- the 65M NOK still missing. We had paper money then, polymer now. They still ask them where the money is after having served 1.5 decades of time and changing the form of fucking currency we use.

Like I said sunny, if somewhat omitting most shitty events leading up to that, and more recent ones. It gets really bad, most people I know of facing those teens and early adulthood died .. 20 years ago. That age. Then again most people I know stuck with MS and windows despite living through the 90s aka the bsod inferno. I took up linux, bsds, programming assemblers, c, perl + misc scripting, binary exploitation and other very normal things for people that age from that background surrounded by violence and junkies.

It is very dark for those who are vulnerable, especially the under age and do not have my ability to make rocks envious pure stubborn refusal to take up heroin or participating in the national pass-time of death by self-inflicted liver damage and or cancer from its metabolites.

However, I am an optimistic fellow:
I was hoping the Norwegian Political & LEgal Establishment died proving me & my assertion wrong. Drinking organic fat solvents produces industrial carcinogens as metabolites - both of which pass the blood-brain barrier - and not only a dumb idea, but infact is making them dumber..by drinking more and duying painful deaths.

Okay. You have the right to think in any way you want. But LinkedIn cannot change their model overnight, it has a stable business and income. Yes, they have many smart people, managers and engineers, and expert shareholders - but their goal is to keep the status quo. That's the problem with large stable businesses. And that's why we always have disruptive startups - that change the status quo and shake the whole market. Apple did this with the iPhone, when many people said buttons would stay forever. LinkedIn has a small number of active users, because they have expensive subscriptions. That's the point. Nobody is interested to use the product that doesn't provide value. The marketplace model would allow users to earn from their profiles, increasing the activity 10x times, increasing the overall revenue. This is how AirBnB works. This is how Amazon works. This is how AppStore works. You can always make basic open profiles with basic info. But if you want to get detailed info, contact the person, chat, interview, sell something - then pay. This is the merketplace model. The entire point of my entry is to describe this model to smart doers, who will take this idea and build the next billion-dollar business.
You have not justified that these calls need to be taken seriously.
I don't get why all startups don't just start with a PaaS like Render, Fly.io or Heroku. Why spend time setting up your own infra and potentially have to hire dedicated staff to manage it when you can do away with all that and get on with trying to move your business forward?

If and when you start experiencing scaling problems (great!), that's the time to think about migrating to setting up infra.
Dude only partly got the point of the novel. To get the whole thing you need to know a bit about Dostoevsky. The novel is about himself before he ended up in Siberia for exactly the kind of highfalutin, self-aggrandizing revolutionary liberal bullshit he’s laughing at in the novel. He was supposed to be shot, but the Czar replaced that with exile to Siberia when he and his co-conspirators were already lined up before the firing squad. He went to Siberia a raving liberal revolutionary, spent a few years there, then served in the army for a few years, and returned from there a completely different man, and a staunch monarchist.
This sounds incredible, and I'd love to try it!

A few immediate thoughts:

As a student, I don't care about a two-sided platform (which is what it looks like you're trying to build). I want to sign up for vetted piano lessons through your site, and purchase a USB midi adapter that you recommend. As a short-term MVP, perhaps point people to a known-working adapter on a site with an affiliate program. Long-term you might consider finding a company willing to sell one white-label and put your logo and website on it, but that's a lot less important than everything else you're building so put it off for a while.

Also, for the first handful of lessons and for subsequent practice, it'd be awesome if you had automated, pre-recorded lessons available, to get the basics down, or to train things like reading sheet music at speed.
awk isn't readable. modern programming languages can do things much better than awk in much lesser lines of code.all of them have better code to work with text and string.

“The Demons” is the more literal translation from Russian.
One time my phone was getting terrible reception in the restaurant, and couldn't download the way-too-big menu file. I ask the server for a paper menu, and apparently they'd went all-in on paper-free, so no menu for me. Instead, the server had to present their iPad to me so I could see all the software buttons for the items I could choose from as they scrolled through. Ridiculous. The next time I went they had paper menus.
you can do that in a lot lesser line of code in python and much better performance.
Lamy Blue! Yes! Green is not bad either.
I would be happy to bet on 15 vs. 50. Any reasonable way to make that happen?
Nick Land!

No but I like the review, especially since, even though it appears, at least from this one article, that our reviewer is just some trad-cath reactionary, the critique is all there, and even the reviewers seeming religious position actually transforms into its opposite, as nothing can escape such a totemic worldview of violent forces and powers in various relations that mask themselves amongst individuals that fail to see their collective psyches, or rather that failure is constitutive in their identification with said collective.

I am partial to interesting posthumanist takes, but then again I'm a Hacker News user! I hope the author finds God or whatever (or maybe, God is trans, woooaah, but you never thought of that huh...)

Addendum: I realize that the possibility of freedom from the egregore depends on the recognition of the conditions of possibility of participating in discourse (ie being egregored already), which would then give some level of "freedom" in a practical sense from forces of intelligence that stretch beyond what one normally senses...a very Kantian position. But, after all, Nick Land was a Kantian, so its to be expected.
> and they all face disciplinary action for dereliction of duty.

I can find no examples that this happens to US Police.

In several minutes of skimming forums with US Police commenting on variations on this question they seem to all agree that it is safer, career wise, to do nothing than it is to do something that they can be blamed for or that can be viewed as insubordinate, etc.

Similarly, I use lyrics of songs I know well enough to be able to sing the words correctly, but are obscure enough that most people won't know them. Jut use the first letter of each word, and if you forget, you can hum along with it while typing.

As an example, the chorus of the classic CCR song 'Have you ever seen the rain' (don't use this one) will give you a easy to remember 15 char password: Iwkhyestrcdoasd. And if you forget its easy to make a simple hint (something like 'Fogerty').

My advice, don't use the chorus - a 2nd or third verse you remember is better (and often longer). And google the lyrics before you make the password, just to check that you've been singing the right words all these years.

Imagine being asked to count all vehicles in a picture. Would you count your dysfunctional tank frame too? I would because i would certainly lack the context knowledge of its interior. Others might not.

Imagine being asked to remove all road blocking vehicles from a park. Would you consider the sales trailer someone got somehow in there, even though it basicaly just a frame without engine too?

The point here is context and changing it does not effect your definition but your interpretation.
This is a real “why didn’t I think of that” moment for sure. So many systems I’ve written have profiled with most of the cpu and allocations in the JSON parser, when all it needs is a few fields. But rewriting it all in SAX is just not worth all the trouble.

I had public registration enabled my own GitLab instance. No real issues for years, until one day I woke up and noticed everything hosted on that server went down simultaneously. Logged into the server, couldn't even do the simplest operations (like `apt update`).

Long story short, someone decided this was the perfect place to upload well over a terabyte of what looked like random Android ROMs, filling the partition to the brim. I had GitLab configured to make an automatic backup of itself on a root partition (from where it gets moved "off-site"), so my root partition got filled as well, bringing everything else down in the process. Needless to say, I no longer have public registration enabled.

Anyways, I can imagine the horrors that GitLab(.com) has to go through to keep the service public.
