> It is no longer possible to call a function that has not been declared.

Heh. Surprisingly, I've seen some people claiming that it's impossible for a language without forward declarations to have a one-pass compiler that could handle calls of not-yet-defined functions, yet pre-ANSI C managed to do exactly that, in a pretty obvious (now that you know that it's in fact possible) way.
I can't imagine that happening with a sufficient frequency. A system making such mistakes so often would just be too unstable to keep an uptime >1h.
Floats vs money is like `ascii` vs `utf-8`.

You can get a bunch of bits, but how you handle it make a ton of differences

Plus, so little languages care about us living in the business world. You can count with fingers in a single hand the languages that are meant for business app.

All the others are bad languages (and libraries, frameworks, data stores), ill-suited for the job. And so, all of them need to reimplement (badly, ad-hoc, bug-ridden) version of money and friends.

And weirdly, no hardware support at all, so our friends on C say: "Look, no important to handle money, bye" and nobody else does it either.
It’s a tough call. I run a small analytics team and am starting to train some analysts to code. Just the other day I basically told one of my reports to focus on learning Python and let ChatGPT teach him SQL by example because I think it’ll be easier to grok the explanations. Now I’m looking at PRQL and Malloy and asking myself if it’s really a path I should send them down, and I’m not sure it’s a good idea.
You are confusing introversion with anxiety. Introversion is about the environment you thrive in - being with your own thoughts. Extroversion - with other people. You talk more about anxiety which can often be associated with depression. People don't change much between introvert and extrovert but they do go in and out of depression. You might find it helpful to talk to someone about that.

I think it comes down to a few design decisions like not standardizing on a VM based language with GC (like Java/.NET) which leads to more memory consumption.
Only allowing a single browser engine will also keep memory usage lower on iOS.
Apple was also early with a good memory compression implementation.

Of course, nothing will help you if you really want to run horrible applications, but at least the base system is optimized. You can run quite a lot of workloads even on an 8Gb Mac.

Imagine what this would do for the climate too if people who were looking at lower end gas powered models could save $5k with buying a $12,500 EV.

The decision would be made for them.

What we have done with subsiding expensive status symbols is so dumb but not shocking in the least.
Don't know how they are called in Germany but I guess it's similar as in the Netherlands: These "non drug" stores are called a "drogisterij" (and the English translation will be 'drugstore'), which is from a "chemist's shop" which in the past used to sell all kinds of stuff including medicine. These days the real drugstores are now solely called "apotheken" (pharmacies), I guess to distinguish them from each other.

There is some overlap with the two as the pharmacies also sell OTC drugs. edit: The pharmacy where I used to live as a kid was more of a drug store in the US sense with a pharmacy in the back, which also acts as the cashier, and the rest of the store was filled with all kinds of household products like beauty and cleaning.

This sounds like a pretty decent guess to me. I bet you are right.
That's not how Karma or nirvana works.

Unfortunately, Nirvana is a passing state - one can attempt to live in a state of Nirvana at all times but it would literally require serene peaceful monasteries with little to no contact with the outside world. If one participates in reality they will be affected by it and we are all human and cannot be perfect at all times - that wouldn't even be a quality life if we tried to be.

Which is what karma is - the sum of what we do, it doesn't stop accumulating, it's like data - you don't stop/can't stop generating it.

The comment regarding drugs being a shortcut to emotional control is fairly accurate. If I have had a bad I could meditate and calm my mind or I could take a hit off my weed vape and not do that. Obviously one of those is superior to the other
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium

> On Earth, it is relatively rare—5.2 ppm by volume in the atmosphere. Most terrestrial helium present today is created by the natural radioactive decay of heavy radioactive elements (thorium and uranium, although there are other examples), as the alpha particles emitted by such decays consist of helium-4 nuclei. This radiogenic helium is trapped with natural gas in concentrations as great as 7% by volume, from which it is extracted commercially by a low-temperature separation process called fractional distillation. Terrestrial helium is a non-renewable resource because once released into the atmosphere, it promptly escapes into space. Its supply is thought to be rapidly diminishing. However, some studies suggest that helium produced deep in the Earth by radioactive decay can collect in natural gas reserves in larger-than-expected quantities, in some cases having been released by volcanic activity.
Usually when people call a feature bloat it’s because its presence, resource consumption, etc is too great relative to its value and utility to users or it’s not particularly relevant.

I’d hesitate to call something like optional compact UI metrics “bloat”. To me the term is better applied to e.g. features associated with only tangentially related services or something running in the background sucking up CPU cycles for little user benefit… basically the modern Microsoft playbook.
I have multiple friends in the Bay Area regretting getting an EV. Broken chargers, power outages, and waiti no in lines seems to the the main complaint.

Assuming an ICE that gets 40 mpg and an EV with the efficiency of a Chevy Bolt the EV costs less to charge than the ICE costs to fuel whenever G/E > 9.6, where G is the price of gas in dollars/gallon and E is the price of electricity in dollars/kWh.

At E = 0.35, the EV wins whenever G > 9.6 E = $3.36. Can you get gas for $3.36/gallon or less in California?

Speaking of gas prices, what is up with the large variation among stations? Right now along a mile along the main road in my area it is $3.59 at ARCO, $4.09 at Shell, and $4.39 at Chevron.

The ARCO is no busier than the others so it is not like people are going to Shell or Chevron because the wait is less. They are all selling gas that has the "TOP TIER(tm)" certification so its not like your car is going to have problems if you don't pay an extra $0.80/gallon to use Chevron.

Heck, its not even that you get a better convenience store at Shell or Chevron. ARCO has AM/PM which is way better.

I think many companies using Leetcode are doing so because they don't know how to hire engineers, so they're outsourcing the problem to Leetcode. In that respect, those same companies are unlikely to think through interviewing enough to choose a tool like this.

Perhaps build a local-first site for special interest groups. Then using crawler/bots to get traffic from LinkIn to your site and vice versa. I know China has huge social networks but smaller one for special interests are still thriving. From that to replace/add LinkIn features are not difficult. You have to build what people need first.
I don’t drink coffee, and even I found this completely unconvincing. I’m glad this guy discovered he doesn’t need coffee, and that he’s sharing that experience.

But IMO, including the Reddit comments makes his post less convincing/credible.

- You can only build single-family units (no apartments, no duplexes, etc.)
- Each lot must be at least a half acre
- You must have at least one (or two) parking spots per lot.
- You must have multiple stairwells and an elevator for any multi-floor shared units.

And on. And on. And on. Zoning and building restrictions are an absolute gauntlet in many places. For an extreme example, check this out: https://reason.com/video/2018/12/27/san-francisco-mission-ho... (He did eventually succeed, but the cost and effort was tremendous.)

I have been drinking a lot of coffe my entire adult life. Many cups of really dark coffee. But a cup is small. And dark coffee doesn't necessarily mean loaded with caffeine. Nothing prepares you for the kind of watery-yet-caffeine-loaded juice you get at a US coffee shop. It's like they think someone would enjoy drinking a half liter hot beverage, and get half a lethal dose of caffeine. Even though I drink 5-10 cups a day, my body does not approve of even a medium (or whatever they call it - it's an insult to coffee sizes in any case) Starbucks coffee. I think if people just drink reasonable coffee cup sizes of reasonably coffeeine-loaded coffee, they don't need to have a rushing heart or any other bad side effects. If you have trouble sleeping then stop drinking after noon. I don't think many are reporting bad effects on sleep from drinking coffee only in the morning.
SELECT DISTINCT ON (album_id) * FROM tracks GROUP BY album_id ORDER BY milliseconds DESC;

For those unfamiliar with Postgres, DISTINCT ON takes only one row for each of the groups based on the supplied columns. So in this case, it will return only one row per album_id.

Without an ORDER BY, DISTINCT ON chooses a random row (not actually, but you can’t rely on it.) Since we ORDER BY milliseconds DESC, the first row of each group will be the longest one.
> It is markedly more expensive than Spotify, though.

A big reason I switched away from Spotify to buying DRM free albums is actually because I realized it's significantly cheaper to do the latter. I plan on listening to music for the rest of my life. I'm in my mid 20s.

Let's say I live for another 60 years. At current Spotify prices, that is nearly $8000. Obviously the cost of premium won't be $11 for the next 60 years though, so that $8000 is an extremely optimistic minimum.

While the cost of albums generally increases with inflation also, the cost of albums I already purchased never increases. For the rest of my life, an album I purchased for $10 will always be an album I purchased for $10. Even if that seems absurdly cheap in the future due to inflation.

Once you build up an initial library, it's very easy to spend less per month buying albums vs Spotify Premium. Over the last year, I would estimate my monthly average spending on music is around $2-3.
Mostly available as a service via cloud API at the moment. The systems themselves are too big for consumers but we will sell systems to corporations.
Not in the US. It is segregating cities between places people work at, places people shop at, places people live in buildings with multiple units and places where people live in single family housing, without any intermingling. Trying to build a triplex where the neighborhood might already be zoned for it, but where most of the buildings are (or seem to be) detached houses is also an uphill battle because neighbors will fight tooth and nail against "changes to the neighborhood character". This leads to the only multi family housing that has gotten built in recent history to be larger towers, which leads to what urbanists call "missing middle".
I’m sure you’re familiar with the arguments and don’t believe them. So I’ll just say this:

clearly a code review is an easier task, and so provides a weaker signal.
Of course non of the paper associations talks about causality, but lack of caffeine is probably a worse overall health association per this paper. More people don’t drink coffee at all than have more than 6 cups a day. From the paper:

“The association between coffee consumption and dementia was non-linear (Pnon-linearity = 0.0001), with evidence for higher odds for non-coffee and decaffeinated coffee drinkers and those drinking >6 cups/day, compared to light coffee drinkers.”
Tesla has the best charging infrastructure and software stack, those of us who own non-Tesla EVs are the ones with difficulty finding charging.
>From my understanding it's still the music labels that are not giving the artists their share.

If that is the case, the artists can easily sue the labels for violating the terms of the contract. But the fair share is just what the two signing parties agreed to.
Of course. There was novelty, a tech boom and governments doing everything they could to induce people to buy them. All of those things are diminished. California was ground zero, because of climate, the business and liberal policies.

I've always been a pessimist on the short term growth estimates of EVs, they didn't make sense to me. $35,000 cars (with subsidies) aren't really cheap cars. You can talk about how much maintenance EVs save, and yet the data says eg Teslas (the best of the best) have higher annual ownership costs than the competitors. You aren't really going to save money buying a Model 3 over a Honda Civic. That's a fact.

But, EVs aren't going anywhere, they'll only keep improving.
How much did you drink? I found the same effect when I didn't know how to use coffee and drank at any hour, multiple times a day, from the office's coffee machine, and couldn't make it at home. Obvious result: bad sleep, anxiety, and a crash every weekend. They all got better after I quit, also obviously.

Then I looked into it more, bought my own press and grinder, started taking one cup a morning with the dosage I want, occasionally a small extra but nothing after 2PM. The effect is pretty nice. On average, I feel a bit better with it than without.
TL;DR: We’re prioritizing convenience atm.

I’m very open to the idea of an on-prem version of Searchbase as an option in the future! We decided to start with a cloud version for our MVP to enable users to get started with Searchbase in a few minutes.

As for sharing DB credentials, I get the concern. “Subscribing” to your database is meant for developer convenience. But if there’s demand, we’d also like to support the traditional ETL method of “manually bulk uploading” :)
this is a fully general criticism of printing anything in a book; it's not an argument against printing code in books, but against books themselves
Wow. That is decidedly not a good trend. Once is definitely bad enough, but twice…
Working from home can bring big health benefits, study finds
These EV-bait articles are ridiculous. The data tells the opposite story. Quarter, total registrations that quarter, percentage of cars sold that are EVs.

4Q22, 1Q23, 2Q23, 3Q23, 4Q23
76501, 87816, 102991, 100151, 89933
19.0%, 20.5%, 21.8%, 22.3%, 21.1%

California EV sales were up significantly in 2023. They had a great 2023 compared to 2022. YoY Q4 23 sales are up almost 20%.

Yeah, there's a big absolute drop Q4 23, but it's still up a lot YoY. But a small percentage drop. It's simple, fewer cars were sold by everyone in Q4 2023 regardless of engine.

What the article says is that compared to the most amazing sales ever, sales are down a little, but still astronomically better than ever.

The sales of almost every model of EV are up astronomically.

> Most people don't care, they want to pay 10/mo, have a "reasonably" good UI and play music.

Sifting through the comment section, it doesn't seem like Spotifys UI or their competitors is "reasonably" good, but the majority of the internet users need to have banner ads, discounts and influencer-BS shoved down their throats to feel valued as a customer.
All of the aforementioned radio stations offer a modern and slick UI and UX instead of that annoying, omnipresent bubblegum-aesthetic used by those big orgs trying to lure in teenagers like tobacco firms in the 90's('get em' young!').
So instead of throwing money at a multi-billion dollar conglomerat maybe consider donating a fraction of the money to your favorite community radio station(which you allegedly do!) or buy some records from your local record store instead. Btw I am an UI/UX designer. And I use Arch.
A good start would be to crawl github and sourceforge. Most have license data. BlackDuck has a scanner with a corpus, don’t know how good it is.
Is this trend demonstrating how lame interfaces make more money? I'm talking about Amazon, et al, who could just as easily make this site.
What we really know for sure is this – sleep is good, anxiety is bad.
So, if you aren't getting good sleep, find ways to fix it.
And if you are anxious all the time, find ways to fix it.

By one tradition that's thousands of years old – Yoga+Pranayama+Meditation (linking physical/mental_movement+breadth) and fasting + eating moderately (eat only if you are hungry and eat enough to quench hunger, and eat 'satvik' food) and cultivating positive thought patterns (practicing gratitude, humility, curiosity) is also known to solve for sleep and anxiety.

Coming to coffee, all coffee is not made the same way and everyone don't drink the same quantity per day either. And it doesn't have the same impact on everyone's body. So, it is best to avoid jumping to broad generalized conclusions based on a few anecdotal stories.

But, it is good for people to share their experiences and for others to consider them.
Calling them "journalists" instead of journalists.
Could this be entirely accidental then? one scientist or another person painting it, perhaps a bit haphazardly. Later or someone else someone else interprets this as soft tissue and the mistake just compound.
I reckon the 1600 he's saved for himself already cover most of the costs. You can probably run this on a reasonable VPS very cheaply. Still a yearly fee would probably be more appropriate for the long term I don't think the customers on this are going to be too fussed on the difference between $50 lifetime and $50 yearly given the savings being made
The banks are under pretty tight regulation in this regard. I have no illusion that bank management cares about the customers’ concerns but they sure do care about the regulators!

My partner has no exposure to live bank data (not even her own — her team all get bank accounts so they can see what it looks like to be a customer) and she has said to me that she and her colleagues are glad they don’t have to worry about accidentally leaking anything. I guess there must be other teams that have to deal with that.

To my surprise nothing she is exposed to is outsourced overseas.
Doesn't that make the first few days of fasting miserable? Have you tried progressively reducing the dosage for a few weeks in preparation?
I’m not sure what you mean by “can’t even make chopsticks by itself,” which is to say, obviously that is an exaggeration but on the other hand, lots of products do touch multiple countries…

Anyway, US manufacturing output still seems to be second in the world, around 1/2 that of China with 1/4 the population. Microprocessors are already made in the US, Intel (despite their struggles) is still making plenty of chips here.

I’m not really sure what the plan is with Global Foundries, in the sense that they presumably won’t keep up with TSMC or even Intel… but maybe 7nm will be the next or next-next generation automotive chip node or something.
No, I did mean to say potentially "unethical" tasks. Much of national defense is deemed "unethical" by many, yet a critical function that allows you to live a peaceful life.
