I don't have either, as I expect after the novelty wears off I won't want to bother putting on a headset for most things.

That said, if I had to buy a headset today, I'd go with the Vision Pro. All the technical stuff aside... I simply don't trust Meta enough to buy a piece of hardware from them. I will pay 7x to buy from a company where I'm less worried about their intentions.
It's only profitable because of price fixing. You don't have to worry about vacancies when all your competition has agreed not to undercut you.

Without the price fixing though, apartment complexes will actually have to compete against each other on rent.
Yeah, but how do I get that running on an old x86? Boot from a floppy somehow?
This sounds like denying the existence of price fixing altogether. Sure, buyers can try to negotiate against a price fixing scheme but it won't work. The price is fixed.

The software isn't really doing anything. It's simply the means of communication by which the prices are fixed amongst the suppliers.
This is an unhelpfully shallow dismissal, and not what I took from the article.

The author acknowledges the usefulness of such tests, but cautions against the tendency people have to reduce themselves to a set of rigid traits. And I tend to agree.

I personally have found such tests useful at times, and they have helped me understand aspects of myself. In a work setting, they can help teams better understand each other and improve communication.

But there’s also a tendency to take these results too seriously. Taken too seriously, they feed self limiting beliefs. This is in the category of issues that the author seems focused on.

While I had long known I was an introvert, and an MBTI test certainly confirmed that, it took me far too long to realize that social skills still had a major impact on my social life, and that my social anxiety wasn’t just about introversion.

Social interaction drains my batteries, but social skills are orthogonal to introversion and still need to be cultivated. Believing that my social tendencies were modulated purely by my introversion kept me stuck in anti-social patterns for too long.

The truth is that the self is malleable and ever changing. I’ll always be an introvert, but I’m not the socially anxious introvert I once was. This means I do more social things and spend less social energy than I once did.

I know a decent number of people who base daily decisions on how they categorize themselves (or on how they don’t categorize themselves) instead of entertaining the possibility that they might like something. I was one of those people for quite a long time, and I’m still breaking the habit of being me on a regular basis.

These tools are more useful than a horoscope, but if rigidly applied, not by much.
crony capitalism
Yes and no.

I'm getting into opinion territory now. Largely, the USA is such a dominate world power that it running into trouble on its debt would mean global repercussions. That unforeseen circumstance would have rippling effect around the world. At which point, it wouldn't really matter if the USA was affected. Everybody else would be affected too.

Its not that "fun" when you consider what that entails. My comment how shady this is last time "OpenIPC" came up:

Something tells me being closed source (majestic) while naming it OpenIPC and pretending to be under MIT license mighty be a bigger factor.

Being russian and clearly trying to steer project towards drone use https://github.com/OpenIPC/sandbox-fpv doesnt help either, we all know what russian drones are used for right now.
It’s actively destructive at this point - arguably been so for quite some time now but now the only way to not see it is to be actively deluding yourself.

It’s impossible to sustain even for an individual so they are only benefiting from it temporarily.

To be fair, they weren't designed to be used while walking around all day. In that case, it's the people who are the problem, not the product.

This is the answer here.

Market rate isn't what the average person is being paid. It's the amount that both parties accept.

Pay = (cost of change) + (value of work)

For new hires, the cost is high (interviews, effort) so the pay needs to be high. For long time employees, the cost of staying is negative (friends, familiar/working code, devil you know) and the cost of moving is positive, and this gap increases with tenure.
No just random gunfire. People in their cars shooting in the air and then speeding off. They’re definitely not shooting at people otherwise it would be national news every night. I think the local police have resorted to a “just please aim in a safe direction” stance instead of trying to stop them. New years is especially annoying.

Something like shotspotter wouldn’t work for this because by the time you get the info and call it in the people doing the shooting are miles away and there isn’t a crime scene per se to investigate.
I've been looking at IBEW and the path of pursuing electrical as an alternative now that software development seems to have dried up entirely and need to find something less volatile. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though, because software was such a natural path originally, it's a little intimidating to go back to school and I have no idea what the trades are like. Got the time though, nearing a full year since being laid off and seems like it'll be another if I don't do something else.

It also seems naive to think I'd be capable of becoming an electrician or succeeding in trades, but might be worth a shot.
> Are Javadocs still a thing? When I was young and coded Java the last time that was all fancy and normal to do. But today?

Automated API documentation based on code comments never really died, but the popularity of dynamically typed programming languages had a lot of devs writing API docs separately by hand for a while. Even though some dynamically typed languages had tools for it, they were ignored because nobody had reliable IDE integrations for Javascript/Python, and maybe (?) because of a sentiment that it is a weird enterprise thing to do. Many open source projects adopted casually-written documentation more focused on usage examples, skipping out on detailed documentation of procedures that are deemed too obvious to need docs.

But nowadays we are in a golden age of doc generator tools across various languages.

ShipFast-ASP.NET help dotnet dev ship their startup in days, iterate faster
Many boilerplates are available for NextJs, Nodejs, php etc. For dotnet developers, there are not many choices to choose from. I hope this Blazor boilerplate can help you skip the boring stuff and let you jump to implementing the core business idea and start shipping your startup to market faster.
It come with many important modules:
- auth
- stripe payment
- Documentation module
- Blog module
- user dashboard
- admin dashboard
- contact form
- contact page for admin to view
- well organized code structure

Any feedback is appreciated, I'm looking to make it better and more useful to everyone.

thanks

Yes, but adopting Georgism would mean eliminating income taxes as well. In principle most people should end up paying less in taxes (because they don’t live in a densely–populated area, or because they live in a dense area but are in an apartment instead of a house on a whole acre), while the overall tax revenue stays the same.
Is every FTC article usually written in this accessible and readable language?
Thank you for your comment. I find it assuring that I actually had followed every point you mentioned before. My observations are below.

1. I tried every power saving option available at every layer (snd_hda_intel, pulseaudio, TLP). None of that eliminated the problem.
2. ThinkPad fans are aggressive indeed, and I did use thinkfan to reduce the noise, but it turns out the physical fan was just terribly pasted. Re-pasting with a higher quality paste helped immensely.
3. I did try Wayland, but I am told it has its own issues. In the end, I put up with shearing under X as it didn't bother me that much. The most recent kernel mitigates shearing.
4. Indeed, a recent kernel automatically solves many issues that I had previously solved manually (mic, speakers, etc)

I had thought LTS with its continual updates should address these problems as well as a more recently released distro should. It seems that I was mistaken.
The differences are:
- It will be a fully synced web app
- It will help users select how much they were able to learn. (1, 2 or 3 stars/ratings)
- If they learn it nicely, the algorithm will remind them to learn it later, or else it will remind them sooner!

And in the yearly plan, users only pay less than $1 per month!
100% they do
> What if there are multiple vendors selling algorithms?

Then each vendor’s customers may constitute a small price fixing conspiracy, which is still illegal (price fixing doesn’t have a market threshold before it is illegal) but also a lot less effective, so it probably would be a transitory condition even if it didn’t get punished.

Just a fun Node.js problem I encountered at work. Wasted time trying to figure this out before realizing the csv-parse library had a Async Iterable API. But thought it was a fun + educational exercise in async generators and async iterables.
Yes, 10-15 meters.

I often give my friends an example: we're on the beach in 20 meters away a couple is walking and you can smell their strong perfume. Aromas are molecules, alright, but viruses are not so much "heavier." They can be carried away pretty far away. Of course, the further you are, the smaller the chance gets, but it's possible. The longer you stay, and the more people walk by, the more real the chance of infection gets.
Hmm - preservers, creators, and destroyers doing their jobs. Is this not what a healthy, functional society looks like, at least in any philosophy grounded in (albeit painful) reality? Or would you rather the preservers stop doing their job and let the others discover the consequences of their self-destructive fantasy? We might learn how pathetically dependent everyone is on each other for the N+1th time in recorded history.
Hello, first of all you have my sympathies and I share your opinion that the 'tech' job market is seeming less appealing to new graduates for a variety of objective/measurable reasons you've mentioned. I also think your self-described lack of interest is sufficient cause to seek other careers and the previous justifications may be worth not focusing on too much... The world has more interconnected opportunity now than ever before and even if you don't do full-stack web development ever again I am sure your computer skills are valuable in very many domains.

I finished college 8 years ago and have been coding since. I still code, but I have just begun tutoring/teaching Adult Education classes for a Service-worker Union (Search for SEIU + <your_locale>) and have found the work to be fulfilling, flexible (fully remote), and pay surprisingly well (over $50/hr entry). In my limited experience there is great demand from this somewhat hidden (but growing!) demographic of multi-year-industry-specific professionals seeking to upgrade their career flexibility through education. Digital literacy is a subject us programmers take largely for granted that has nearly constant over-subscribed classes in my branch, and one of the first questions I was asked by a much-adored veteran teacher when observing their science/math TEAS prep class was 'How's your Google-fu?' I felt right at home...

Part of the reason I got into CS was because I had a diverse range of interests and somehow computers seemed to power the foundations for interacting with and connecting the vast majority of them. If you've got similar motivations I think you'll enjoy the wide range of challenges that teaching adults offers. Fwiw, I think most folks in the world face professionally uncertain times ahead but at least we can understand enough to try and make the most of the inevitable instead of squandering precious energy...

I hope my perspective offers you some assistance, and I thank you for sharing. I know a lot of people (both your age and older) have similar feelings.

PS English Literacy classes in my branch are also heavily oversubscribed, and with bilingualism you might be a marvelously effective teacher in that meaningful domain as well.
> it's 'obvious'[0] that the latter warrants more policing.

Is it? I don't see it as at all obvious. It seems utterly ridiculous to me to increase policing in sync with socioeconomic deprivation. The blindingly obvious thing is to invest in solving the problems that cause the disparity, not to criminalize people who are living in poverty.
I was expecting a laugh about Nigerian scammers going after crypto scammers (the setup would be too good!), but looks like this is old fashioned money printing problems.

From the article:

> After he came into office last year, President Bola Tinubu scrapped the policy of pegging the naira to the dollar, allowing traders to buy and sell the currency at rates determined by the market. But special advisor Bayo Onanuga said the recent collapse was not the result of normal activity.

> "All of a sudden the exchange rate went through the roof... and it was being caused by the people on Binance platform," he told the BBC Newsday programme.

And later in the article:

> To the frustration of Nigerian users, Binance and several other cryptocurrency firms have been suspended in the country in recent weeks including Coinbase, Kraken, Forextime, OctaFX, Crypto and FXTM in an attempt to halt the slide of the naira.

> In another measure intended to curb foreign-currency trading, Nigeria has closed thousands of bureaux de change.

So they depegged the currency from the dollar, as expected it devalued, then shutdown down forex shops because they’re facilitating people to trade what they feel is the fair market value of the devalued currency.

And then they are angry with the crypto exchanges for effectively doing the same thing as the forex shops they shut down, but now at a wider and less traceable scale.

What’s the end game? Lock down the exchange and force everybody to accept your devalued currency at gun point?
There's a field of study in economics called industrial organization that is all about oligopolies, monopolies and forms of imperfect competition. This is known stuff. I have no idea what you mean by your comment about capitalism, but I think you're likely just confused about different forms of competition.

Michael Porter basically just took IO texts and rewrote them for business people. He's a nice entry point if you're interested.

I’m curious about your position on this.

Back in the day (late 90s if I’m remembering correctly), after experiencing it for a while, when encountering a CPAN package I would roll my eyes… and look elsewhere. I had endless trouble just getting things to build reliably. I always ended up feeling like it took much longer to use CPAN than it did to just download the script. Maybe I am alone in that, but that was my experience. And, of course, much has probably changed since then; in particular the unixverse is much more homogenous than it used to be.

With NPM, I just roll my eyes. But generally speaking it works.
That's the new internet. Parents refers to pre 1992
Yes. Web developers never tackle with caching, database query optimisation, protocol development, or data modelling.

Just HTML and CSS and nothing else.
Some of the illegal things you listed aren't things that benefit much from a hastily dispatched response. If you want to catch people on cars or dirt bikes driving down the street, you kinda have to already be there. Also, a couple of the things you listed are nuisances, but not illegal activity in their own right.

ShotSpotters don't repel crime, let alone prevent it. They're intentionally covert, as shown in the OP, which gives credence to the notion that they aren't intended to deter criminal activity from the surrounding area. If anything, repelling/deterring crime would defeat the purpose of the technology.

At best, ShotSpotter merely detects crime, and its effectiveness in that capacity is kept a secret. The world of police tech is a knee-deep in snake oil. A bit of transparency would go a long way for ShotSpotter.
Something along these same lines — I feel like I’m seeing those “Flock” cameras everywhere now. So between Shotspotter and Flock, you’re pretty much always under surveillance.

Likely relevant: https://www.binance.com/en/feed/post/666405 in which Binance CEO claims the "Binance Nigeria" entity implicated here is a scam and unrelated to them.

The two arrested executives seem to belong to Binance-the-international-company, not the local subsidiary-or-fake-subsidiary, though. https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2024/02/29/nigeria-detains-b... says that "The two had been invited by Nigeria to meet officials".

This is going to be interesting either way.
Highly recommend the book Technofeudalism by Yanis Varoufakis which argues that the dominance of platforms has surpassed “monopoly” or other market metaphors and is becoming a kind of post-capitalism in favour of something much worse.

16-Year-Old Seeking Advice on GPT Prompt Creation Tool
Hey there! I'm a 16-year-old who recently developed a prompt creation tool aimed at enhancing prompts and assisting users in crafting better ones. I wanted to share this as I found it pretty useful and cool. Currently, it seems to work very well with 3.5 turbo, don't have 4 so I have not tested it, but I don't think it will not work.

This tool streamlines the process: once you input your information into the fields, it automatically formats and expands upon it to provide more comprehensive guidance for GPT. After getting the result, you can paste it into GPT for the answer. I'm open to any suggestions or comments you may have!
