Are you talking about tonsilectomy or brain damage?

Because I'm saying that losing a corner of your brain is more important than losing your tonsils. If you have evidence otherwise I'm open to hearing it..
I'm well aware of the Idaho stop, I'd advocated for it on many occasions.

However, I'm also aware that a lot of cyclists don't 'yield' so much as 'continue at full speed through the 4-way stop sign'.

So far, Waymo seems to have a culture of playing things very by the book and safely, or at least as safe as possible given the constraints of developing self-driving cars on public roads. I think it's very unlikely they'd lie, knowing that they'll have to hand over footage of the incident over to the authorities, and especially given what recently happened with Cruise semi-lying and being absolutely thrashed in the press because of it.
How'd that work out for the DC-10?
Maybe, but instead of redesigning and building a new jet suitable for the larger and more efficient engines allowing their competitor's A320 to be more efficient, they appear to have kludged them onto the old (and low-sitting) 737. To do this, they had to change their location on the wing, which made the aircraft more unstable, which lead to the MCAS system to mitigate this, and problems with MCAS and sensor redundancy led to the two fatal crashes. I have a hunch many of us have seen this sort of thing and consequences before.
This whole discussion about what a company cares about is
meaningless. Companies don't _care_. Not about anything.
Anthropomorphising them like we do for ships, cars, or other machines
that we grow attachments to is just delusional. It's a giant, blind,
abstraction without thought, feeling or intent.

When real human beings - who can care about things - stand up and
speak on behalf of a company, we're falling for a hell of a deception
if we think their words represent anything solid.
Do you live in a place with serious supply constraints and lots of new construction?
I'm not an expert on building codes but a large difference in North America is there is much more space in general when building new so I don't quite think the argument is valid.

Americans simply want a lot more space. If a developer built smaller sized 3 or 4 bedroom apartments they would have trouble selling to the price point they want.

> Well no you're the one spreading the myth

Sigh. No.

Pigs are not more intelligent than dogs. That's flat out misinformation, and you are propagating misinformation, i.e. spreading a myth every time you repeat that false information.

I don't think I'm being rude, although I don't have a lot of patient for people that willfully spread misinformation.

Maybe, just maybe, do some more research other than believing what the first link in your Google search results brings up.
Still not better than ChatGPT. I gave it some tax related questions with URLs to use as source, it flopped badly but ChatGPT absolutely nailed it, even getting the complicated tax logic correct. Same experience asking it to analyze code. It is objectively worse than ChatGPT still.

You're thinking of the mean. The median is the 50th percentile.
One thing to keep in mind is that in the US there are often things like setback restrictions and distance separation requirements such, so a small increase in square footage can be the difference between a building fitting on a lot, and not.

You can of course buy more lots to combine but that takes more money, and more time, because you have to wait for a bunch of adjacent lot owners to sell.
iOS can also be configured not to ring when it’s an unknown number. Important calls just need to leave a voice message.
When you do your experiments and they don't show you are in a simulation, do you conclude that we are living in reality or do you conclude "Wow, this simulation has better code than I expected!" or "Wow, I guess the simulation creators invented better computers than we imagined!"

I compare it to religion because, well, I think you are claiming nonfalsifiable ideas are falsiable, and I don't think doing a bunch of math changes this or framing this in a way that sounds scientific changes this.

Anyway someone on substack said it better than me.

"any simulation can only be detected from the inside by performing a measurement and finding a discrepancy between the results and what would have resulted if the measurement had been performed outside the simulation. Without access to the outside of the simulation, there's nothing to compare against and no way to tell simulation from reality".

Honestly it's a mess. I still do unwieldy naming schemes like:

PROOJECT1-FINAL-WORKING-COPY-A

But once it's on Github, it automatically gets version controlled, so I can roll back to a working state if I make a mistake.
I think its the case that the vast majority of mail carried by USPS is unsolicited junk, but it pays the bills to stop at every house in the country every day.

Wouldn't be surprised if the plurality of phone call revenue is spammers, and then there is no way to solve the problem but to make fines (to the provider) higher than the revenue.
Sure, and they can complain to their hearts desire.

But it would be more fun to talk about the tech.

1. The OP is not the author of this project.

2. The project author did not know it was going to be directed at a more general audience.

3. They may have prepared the README for that if they knew.

4. Enjoy the tech and stop being so damn nitpicky HN

So to end this, I explained the tech and reason why:

basically everything I read about the USA housing market seems so weird, especially in SF/Silicon Valley. They makret themselves as being this "tech area" yet they have 100 year old houses with limits of 2 floors.

or big suburbs without anything in them. Where is the uber, airbnb and doordash for housing?
What's the reason for optimism? Far more inert technologies like Facebook and Instagram are pulling people into sufficiently terrible mental states to convince them to kill themselves, harm themselves, kill other people, etc. etc.
That would be nice to also optimize SELECT DISTINCT foo FROM bar. It is usually very poor on big tables and we have to do recursive CTE. This comes a lot with admin builders for filters (<select >).

If you read the link from Chinese govt statistic it says that it is DISPOSABLE.

> and retire the whole 737 entirely

You're making the bold and naive assumption that a clean-sheet design would be bug free.

People here were saying the same thing a few weeks ago about the CVR with 2 hour storage. "It's the tech! Use cloud storage! Just buy more flash! Blah blah"

Well supposedly newer aircraft like the A350 and B787 have newer recorders with much more storage - that were later found to have software bugs in service writing garbage data. Imagine that.

So sometimes going with an old reliable design that is approved and rigorously tested for 25 years is the prudent decision when you have no requirement to upgrade.

With the current issues being manufacturing-related and not an engineering error, how would a new design help that? It's like saying let's scrap all the code because your ops team is incompetent and can't deploy VMs properly.
You are smarter than I, I'm -6 and flagged, and the sneering dismissive demand I parodied is still, at the very least, positive.
Until executive compensation is tied to long term performance this won't happen. They are free to institute policies that will cripple or kill a company and then jump ship and find greener pastures.
This is exactly why private LLMs will eventually become more popular. One of the most hated responses is, “Sorry Dave, I can’t do that” because X.

This is too annoying not to be a joke or sarcasm.
This is sort of like saying every human cares about nothing than food and air. All companies require money to operate, as humans require food and air, but they can have other goals besides the acquisition of as much money as possible, in the shortest time horizon possible, damn the consequences. I would say that most do. And just as with most people, philosophy and literature and charity and invention go out the door when a human is starving to death or being waterboarded, most companies will put aside all their other goals when they have no money. But, to say that means humans don't do anything other than get food and breathe, or that companies don't do anything but get more money, is such a limited model as not to be of practical use. That doesn't mean it's an uncommon one though!
Not my experience. Some very early code did not recognize this, but since then pretty much everyone has come to agree that values should always be useful. If you are writing a function today, there is no reason to not observe this.

In practice, that typically means returning the zero value. To which idioms suggest that zero values should be useful. Rob Pike's Go Proverb[1] even states: "Make the zero value useful." Most commonly when returning (T, error) that zero value is nil. In Go, nil is a useful value!

If the caller wants to observe the error state, great. But it is needlessly limiting if you force it upon them. That is not for the library author to decide.

The CPI is not calculated by morons. It is calculated by the government with a strong incentive to come up with as low a figure they can get away with.

Sort of like the Soviet industry production figures, which included phantom industries pumping out imaginary products. GDP looked great!

I don’t think it’s odd for a child to pick blue as their favorite color because they grew up by the sea. That seems not at all unusual regardless of whether the child later grew up to invent the blue LED.

There aren’t that many colors that kids tend to choose from when they develop a favorite color, and blue has got to be one of the more common ones.
> It already has two crashes under its belt, compared to other models that never had any crashes (like the A380).

You can't come to any conclusions from simple math like that because it isn't corrected for flight hours and exposure. There are literally 10x more 737 Max's delivered so far than there are total A380s left flying, and they're constantly booked doing short to medium haul flights all day long rather than a single long-haul flight per day. And given that takeoff and landing are the riskiest phases of flight, it should also probably be corrected by flight cycles, not pure flight hours.

It's nowhere close to as simple as you make it out to be.

Fedora immutable distros are image based, so yes, the base system is a pre-made unit, over which you can layer minor packages but not something as extensive as an alternative DE. Hence so many spins, as well as separate versions for stuff like Nvidia cards, Asus machines and so on.

Either you know Linux is an operating system, or you don't.

All my dev stuff, editors included, is in a Debian distrobox - since that's usually well supported by tooling, but you could also go with Ubuntu for even better support and/or Nix for more obscure packages.

GUI applications work fine from a distrobox and it makes the integration very painless (eg. VSCodium extensions). You can export them with a built-in command and it will even create a regular desktop entry for them.
I've heard this before -- that oversized cooling units (whether standalone AC or part of a heat pump) mean muggy interiors in the humid seasons. But...why? I'd think that a fixed amount of air compressed in the compressor means a fixed amount of condensation runoff from the unit, and it wouldn't matter much whether it's a big unit running occasionally or a small unit running frequently. Why is that wrong?
As long as poverty remains a primary cause of various crimes, employing extensive technology will not eliminate criminal activities and behaviors that endanger lives.
I learned about that from Immortal Technique's "The 3rd World". Great song, but thankfully they didn't do that in Japan.

Their real crimes are the proliferation of plastic water bottles / other microplastic garbage and the amount of sugar in their drinks (although the most popular drinks in Japan are not available abroad because they are expensive and not sweet — green tea etc..). Not to mention the amount of overtime the average worker had; something I tried to change but one that managers were allergic too (adding new meaningless procedures once old ones were simplified and automated).

None of that changes the facts about failed aforementioned Mozilla CEO, cowardly attacking a dead man because he didn't match her personal and socially fashionable beliefs. Why would you even make a new account to defend that?

It seems like it would be better if the concurrency were pluggable somehow. Maybe Crawl takes some kind of worker-starting interface, with a suitable default implementation?

Then the job of the crawler is to find new units of work, not to schedule them. In theory it could be done single-threaded by pulling work from a queue.

Yeah but that's to be expected because they are kids. If your coworkers act like children, that's a problem; they should act like adults because they should be adults. What's easy usually isn't what's right.

Would interviewers ask why his favorite color was blue if not for his inventing blue LEDs? Probably not. But might his favorite color still be blue because of his childhood memory? Sure, why not?

From a third party perspective though, that globalization move helped lift more than a billion people out of abject poverty and helped industrialize about 1/7th of humanity and all it took was a marginal decrease in prosperity for the richest nation in the world. If there was a world wide arbiter, that move would be a no brainer.
It's not just Bobby Fijan, there's also Michael Elias, an architect, who has been trying to build family suitable apartments in the US after experiencing them in Germany.

The problem really is the hallway cutting the building in half. It puts such restrictions on what can be built in sensible ways.

the "The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party" is actually "United States House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party" so its a bit misleading to assume they dont have a vested interest in slamming companies that invest in Chinese firms. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Select_Com...

The organization is basically a last-ditch bipartisan effort to put the tiger back in the cage and was formed after most of the octogenarians in congress were made aware that China was somewhere less than a decade away from eclipsing US GDP. Whatever your views on the CCP are, these guys are largely in it to maintain US hegemony by slandering trade in the hopes it inspires investors or CEO's to reconsider a country that not only beat the US to 5G technology, but built its own space station in four years time and its own competitive sub 10nm chipset to comply with US bans on imports. https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/22/china_smic_7nm_chips/

If you honestly wanted to play this nationalist game, it arguably should have started about 30 years ago. no 'beacon on the hill' burns forever, but the capital class certainly did their best to douse the light along the way through profiteering and unchecked globalization.
Generally not the case in a lot of HCOL areas.
For example in NYC, most new developments are built out something like this:

4 bedrooms - less than 5%, 3 bedrooms - 10%, 2 bedrooms - 30%, 1 bedrooms - 40%, studios - 15%.

As a result, the larger units are not just more expensive due to square footage, but the pricing scales non-linearly per square foot because 3+ bedroom units are a rarity. Typically you'll see a 3BR have 50% more square footage than 2BR but cost 2x the price.

It's not uncommon for people who have their first kid in a 2BR to then buy a studio or 1BR in the same building for their kids to play / grandparents to stay over, rather than selling and upgrading to a 3BR.. as insanely inconvenient as that sounds, due to cost.
